The Malayalam film Janaki V v/s State of Kerala, starring actor-politician Suresh Gopi, is all set to make its OTT premiere.

Janaki V v/s State of Kerala on OTT
Janaki V v/s State of Kerala was at the centre of a controversy after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) objected to the use of Janaki in the title. The film, which also stars Anupama Parameswaran, was finally released in theatres on July 17, 2025, after makers agreed to make the changes mooted by CBFC. Now, the film is all set to land on Zee5 and OTTplay Premium on Independence Day. Viewers can stream the Malayalam film in multiple languages, including Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. Despite the film making headlines over the CBFC objections that snowballed into a controversy, JSK had a lacklustre run at the theatres. It remains to be seen if the film, which garnered mixed reviews, would impress the viewers in the digital space.
