JSK – Janaki V vs State of Kerala Description:

At a crucial juncture in the film, David Abel Donovan states in a commanding manner, “Her voice must be heard here, now.” Ironically, in a film seemingly centred on Janaki, a woman seeking justice after a traumatic assault, her voice is often drowned out by the grandstanding of men around her. JSK: Janaki V v/s State of Kerala positions itself as a socially conscious legal drama, but what unfolds is a muddled film that seems more invested in delivering rousing speeches than delving into the emotional truth of its protagonist.
