Talking about their reactions to Janaki V v/s State of Kerala, one user said, “Below Average One. A Typical R**e Victim Based Investigation Thriller, which is Templated & Typical Having No Impacts or Engaging Elements. 10 Minutes Before Interval Were Only Good Momentsalso Worst Dialogue & Performances from cast. TOTALLY 2/5.”

Another user said, “SG and Anupama were great and the first half was also good. However, the film went downward in the second half.” (translated from Malayalam).

A netizen underlined the movie’s lack of depth and said, “J.S.K (Janaki vs State of Kerala). R**e survivor vs State sounds powerful, but the film totally lacks impact. No depth, no freshness. Suresh Gopi feels force-fitted, dialogues are cringe, and the whole thing just drags. Not satisfied.”
