Why has JSK – Janaki Vs State of Kerala not been issued censor certificate, HC asks censor board
Stating that films bearing similar names had been released earlier, the Kerala High Court asked the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) why censor certificate has not been issued for the Malayalam feature film JSK – Janaki vs State of Kerala. The producer firm of the film that stars, among others, Union Minister of State Suresh Gopi had approached the High Court, citing delay on the part of the CBFC in issuing the certificate. The CBFC's counsel informed the court that its objection was to the name of the film's central character, Janaki, which is another name for the Hindu goddess Sita. Also, explicit language was used while referring to women. Certificate for teaser Wondering why the name of the character – a commonly used name — has to be changed, the court observed that many Indian films having names of gods, goddesses and religious figures in the title had been granted censor certificates in the past. There were movies like Sita aur Gita. No one had any complaints then. The film's producer firm said that the CBFC had issued a censor certificate for the same film's teaser trailer. The revising committee of the CBFC had on Thursday asked the makers of the film to change the title of the film as well as the name of the protagonist. It had been reported that the Thiruvananthapuram regional office of the CBFC had cleared the censoring of the film on June 18 with a U/A certificate. However, when the regional office forwarded the same to the CBFC headquarters in Mumbai, the officials there demanded a change in the title as well as the name of the titular character of Janaki. It was also conveyed to the makers through unofficial channels that the victim of a sexual assault cannot be named after a goddess. The revising committee met after the makers of the film approached the Kerala High Court, alleging delay.

Kannappa box office collection day 1 early report: Vishnu Manchu's dream project scores career-high opening
Kannappa box office collection day 1 early report: Actor Vishnu Manchu's long-anticipated dream project Kannappa finally hit theatres on Friday. Featuring Vishnu in the titular role, the film also stars heavyweights like Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Mohanlal in prominent roles. Leading up to the release, Vishnu undertook a spiritual tour of the 12 Jyotirlingas and emphasised in multiple interviews that Kannappa is not a mythological drama, but a significant chapter from Indian history. However, early reactions suggest that audiences may not entirely share his conviction. As of 8 pm on release day, the film has earned Rs 6.5 crore at the box office, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. While this is the highest opening for a Vishnu Manchu film, it falls short of expectations for a project of this scale—especially one shot over eight months in New Zealand with a crew of more than 800 people. Despite the presence of Prabhas and Mohanlal, the film has not generated the kind of frenzy typically associated with their solo releases. The movie recorded a varied occupancy across languages: 50.45% in Telugu, 16.06% in Tamil, 13.63% in Kannada, 9.53% in Hindi, and just 5.80% in Malayalam. The film has been released across 2,079 screens in India, distributed as follows: 1,081 in Telugu, 522 in Hindi, 294 in Malayalam, 131 in Tamil, and 51 in Kannada. Also Read | Kannappa movie review: Vishnu Manchu's ambition cannot fully save this tediously long saga Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, Kannappa opened alongside Maa, a horror drama starring Kajol. Promoted as part of Ajay Devgn's Shaitaan universe, Maa managed to collect Rs 3.21 crore by 8 pm across 2,462 shows—383 more than Kannappa. The movie opened to mixed reviews on Friday. A part of SCREEN's review read, 'Kannappa is about the trials of faith and how a non-believer sheds his arrogance to embrace personal transformation – so, when the screenplay (also credited to Vishnu) does come to its own for a brief while, it throws up a few pleasant surprises that salvage an otherwise turgid retelling of mythology.'
