Janaki V Vs State Of Kerala Opens To Mixed X Reactions ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

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.

Everything About Anupama Parameswaran Amid Her Dating Rumors With Dhruv Vikram (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Anupama Parameswaran has been making the news, not only about her movies but also about the rumors about her relationships. The actress has raised fresh conjectures about being in a relationship with actor Dhruv Vikram after fans noticed their interesting link on a music app. But are the claims true?

Anupama Parameswaran’s Journey In Cinema

Anupama Parameswaran was born in Irinjalakuda, Kerala in 1996. A Malayali by birth, she is the daughter of Parameswaran Erekka and Sunitha Parameswaran. Anupama’s journey to acting began when she dropped out of college in Communicative English.

The turning point in her life was the Malayalam film Premam (2015), in which she played Mary. The film was a massive success and launched Anupama’s career into orbit. Thereafter, she made some notable films, including James & Alice, A Aa (Telugu), Kodi (Tamil), and Sathamanam Bhavati.

Sharmila Tagore talks with Subhash K Jha about her iconic film Aradhana, that also featured Rajesh Khanna, which released in 1969, returning to theatres.

One of your most important films, Aradhana, is back in movie theatres?

Yeah, I was taken as a serious actor in Hindi cinema after that. Before that, I did a lot of glamorous roles like An Evening in Paris and Kashmir. I also did Devar and Anupama before Aradhana, which were very performance-oriented characters.

No, no, so it would be wrong to say that Aradhana was the first time when you were taken seriously by Hindi audiences ?

But the depth of the audiences’ appreciation…. I remember when that scene was shown, you know, the first time the audience sees me as the old person in the jail and the entire hall started giggling. Yes, yes, that happened. My director, Shakti Samanta, left the hall saying that Sharmila Tagore had not been accepted.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Subhash K Jha asked Filmistan what their favorite prem kahaani films are and the answers were amazing!

Amitabh Bachchan:

“Guru Dutt’s Kagaz Ke Phool: poignant and incredible theme, most lingering visuals, music, performances, and the ethereal Waheedaji, she’s my favourite; Anupama … “I just love the softness and simplicity of the film, its unexaggerated performances. It had a lyrical quality about it. This was a film by one of my favourite directors, Hrishikesh Mukherjee.” Bimal Roy’s Devdas: “I have always idolized Dilip Saab; his portrayal of doomed love in Devdas remains unparalleled.”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali:

“Bimal Roy’s Devdas, Vijay Anand’s Guide, Kamal Amrohi’s Pakeezah, K Asif’s Mughal-e-Azam, Satyajit Ray’s Charulata.”

Raakhee Gulzar:

“Satyajit Ray’s Charulata, Vijay Anand’s Guide, Raj Kapoor’s Sangam, Raj Kapoor’s Bobby, Yash Chopra’s Kabhi Kabhie.”

Asha Parekh:

Mumbai, March 29 (Ians) Actress Anupama Kuwar, who is making a TV comeback after eight years with the fantasy show ‘Baalveer 3’, says it’s challenging to be part of a costume drama as she has to spend almost one-and-a-half hours to get ready.

“Since I am playing a warrior in the show, my heavy costume restricts my natural movements. I also have a neckpiece in my warrier look which makes even my neck movement tough,” says Anupama, who was last seen in ‘C.I.D’.

The most challenging part is to do the stunts with such a heavy costume. “I reduce my water intake while shooting to avoid frequent trips to the washroom.”

She has worked in shows like ‘Qubool Hai’, ‘C.I.D’, ‘Aahat’, among others. ‘Baalveer 3’ is her first costume drama. She is also known for her roles in the web series such as ‘Virgin Boys’, ‘Zindagi Tumse’ and many more.

ReviewThough Srinivas Avasarala’s film is about Anupama (Malavika Nair) and Sanjay’s (Naga Shaurya) love story, you hardly know anything about them. The characters are written poorly and without any depth.Srinivas Avasarala’s Phalana Abbayi Phalana Ammayi looks like a Quentin Tarantino film – divided into chapters, but there ends the resemblance. The film opens in 2010 in the United Kingdom and the chapters begin from the year 2000 when Sanjay (Naga Shaurya) and Anupama (Malavika Nair) are students in an engineering college. Unlike most films with star heroes, there is no introduction shot for the male lead or the female lead; they are introduced in the most mundane manner and sadly this approach extends to the entire film. The chapters from the year 2000 to 2010 proceed chronologically in the most boring manner. Perhaps, realising that presenting a story in this fashion without any excitement or tension – the elements essential for good storytelling – is drab,...
