After multiple delays and a court battle against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Janaki V v/s State of Kerala finally released in theatres yesterday on the 17th of July 2025. There were doubts about whether the film would release on that day or not, and even the trailer released on the 14th of July did not mention any release date. This was because there were reports that CBFC approval for the Malayalam version had been granted, but approvals for other language versions were still pending, and from what we can observe on BookMyShow, only bookings for the Malayalam version are available so far. Thankfully, the film is now running in theatres. But how is it performing? What are the audience saying? Let’s check x.com for our answers.
