JSK: Janaki V vs State of Kerala (2025) is a Malayalam courtroom-legal thriller directed by Pravin Narayanan. The film centers on Janaki V (performed by Anupama Parameswaran), an IT professional visiting her home state, who suffers a brutal sexual assault from an unknown assailant and struggles to get justice through a legal system that seems riddled with delays and obstacles. Suresh Gopi plays David Abel Donovan, a committed and sharp lawyer who takes up her case, battling procedural hurdles, societal pressures, and moral ambiguities. As Janaki’s journey unfolds—losing her father in the process, enduring trauma, and confronting a system that often silences survivors—the film asks hard questions about what justice truly means. It mixes protest, media attention, and courtroom drama, exposing ethical dilemmas in law enforcement and legal advocacy, though some review-sources note that the narrative sometimes shifts focus away from Janaki, getting tangled in monologues and uneven pacing.
