Janaki Jaane

Janaki marries Unni Mukundan (Saiju Kurup), a subcontractor doing road works at the panchayat level. When the power goes off during their wedding reception, a scared Janaki goes to her husband to feel secure. But when the power gets restored, she is seen hugging a young politician Martin (Sarjano Khalid), by mistake, who stands near her husband. This instance is photographed by the rival party members of Martin who is contesting for his constituency by-elections. This image goes viral on social media and the rival political party takes advantage of the situation. The news report of these photographs, aimed at tarnishing the image of Martin, gets flashed on news channels. Janaki and Unni initially handle the situation. But later, they are forced to leave their house as the media starts discussing the news in prime time. How the couple faces the issues and how Janaki, a vulnerable woman, overcomes these critical situations form the crux of the movie.
