    Like old joshy, renjith movie

    Good family entertainer normal standard suspense triller. Please do not think his current political service it's my request , as a movie it's awesome. Everyone acted perfectly no lagging. Every character given its own importance to other co actors especially Askhar Ali. He acted an important role in this movie also suresh sir son also. From interval we get the tendency to know the real culprit in the movie.actress Anupama leads a good important role as janaki, acted a serious main role from starting to ending. Main thing that the main actor didn't had any bgm 😊. Standard actions in this movie.

    Bad screenplay

    Bad screenplay followed by the overacting of SG. Bgm also lacked to feel the audience about the intensity of the scenes. As compared to other courtroom drama it's a below average one. Madhav suresh acting in the serious situation looked like he is acting in a old age drama. I don't understand why some people compare it to lalettans neru!!!!!

    Super movie

    Super movie. Fight against the crime and the current situations. Moreover the casting is excellent. Brilliant plot twists and a haunting atmosphere - this movie kept me guessing the entire time . Incredible pacing, intense performances, and a story that grabs you and doesn't let go. This film deserved way more attention. The direction and suspense were brilliant, but unfortunately, political enemies trying to stop the success. A standout performance by SG, making a powerful comeback after years in his right version, we were waiting for. Above all Janaki, you won this battle😍. Everyone must watch.

    Poor Screenplay Overshadowed the Performances

    The movie talks about the atrocity that happened towards Janaki & how with the help of the judiciary she fights for her justice is all about shown in the film.

    Performance wise SG & Anupama had given justice to their roles. In the 1st half we could see the fire brand performance of SG which raised the expectations to watch for 2nd half. Another lead role was of Shruti Ramachandran which came late in the 2nd half but she also gave a notable performance in her screen presence.

    Director Pravin Narayanan who also penned the story had done a good research in legalities aspect which made the courtroom sequence interesting but speaking of the content, it's been too old to discuss.

    The path at which the 1st half which made it interesting & raised the urge to watch for the 2nd half, but when comes to the 2nd half it was a nose div. It was a mixture of investigation and drama & at one point it became bored as it feels repetitive.

    Performance space of SG was not much in 2nd half which further lowered the interest. Climax fight sequence was well choreographed but the excess of drama had overshadowed.

    Ghibran's score had given some escalating moments. Cinematography was not captivating.

    Another major drawback was of casting of Madhav Suresh. The worst performance in this movie. If given an electric shock, still there would be no expression coming from his face.

    Well as a whole JSK is not a movie where we would be forced to leave in mid way but it also doesn't quench the thirst we were looking for a SG Film.

    Janaki V vs State of Kerala - A decent courtroom procedural drama misses out on hooking the audience

    Rating - 3/5

    A courtroom drama portraying the investigation procedurals but missed on hooking the audience on right notes.

    The crux of the story is about Janaki and her fight for justice against the State over the untoward event in her life and will Judiciary and the system stands by the plaintiff unfolds through the story.

    Pravin Narayanan has penned a sensitive story portraying the life of physical abuse victims and the emotional and mental agony they face from the society through their empathetic eyes. The screenplay slips in few places where the audience misses the spark in the story giving a conclusion of a cliche survivor story. The story inspired from multiple incidents has been synchronized and portrayed on screen but fails to make a lasting impact altogether rushing through investigation and onset proceedings.

    Good performance by Suresh Gopi through his power punch dialogue modulation and delivery. Anupama has given a stunning performance in the movie conveying the right emotions demanded by the character. Askar Ali, Yedhukrishnan,Vaishnavi & Divya Pillai made impressive performances. Madhav was giving a stone looked face struggling to say the dialogues felt preachy in few sequences.

    Good music by Girish blending with the storyline added with Ghibran's background scores.

    A watchable drama with decent performances ruling out the minor flaws.
