Directed and written by Pravin Narayanan, "Janaki V Vs State Of Kerala" follows Janaki Vidhyadharan, an IT professional from Bangalore, whose visit to her hometown in Kerala takes a dark turn when she becomes a victim of s*l a**t. The story revolves around her fight for justice and the challenges she faces within the Indian judicial system. Suresh Gopi plays Advocate David Abel Donovan, a lawyer who gets involved in Janaki's case. The film explores the moral and ethical dilemmas within the legal proceedings.

The movie had a theatrical release on July 17, 2025, after facing controversies with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The CBFC initially raised concerns over the use of the name "Janaki" for the lead character, citing its association with the Hindu goddess Sita. After a court battle, the filmmakers agreed to modify the title to "Janaki V Vs State Of Kerala" and mute the name "Janaki" in two scenes.

Despite the controversy, "Janaki V Vs State Of Kerala" made its way to the screens and now to OTT platforms. The film has received mixed reviews from viewers, with some praising the courtroom drama and others criticizing the direction and script.

"Janaki V Vs State Of Kerala" includes Shruthi Ramachandran, Askar Ali, Baiju Santhosh, and Madhav Suresh in supporting roles. The film is produced by J. Phanindra Kumar under the banner of Cosmos Entertainments.
