Story: Prasad (Suhas), a middle-class man unhappy with his father’s investment decisions, develops a pragmatic view on parenthood. He firmly believes that if one cannot provide the best for their children, it’s better not to have any at all. His wife (Sangeerthana Vipin) agrees to this unusual arrangement, but a faulty condom throws a wrench into their plans. Frustrated by the unexpected pregnancy, Prasad decides to sue the condom company, setting the stage for a courtroom battle with a comedic twist. What begins as a relatable middle-class story takes a sharp turn into an over-the-top legal drama.
Review: Suhas’ latest outing, Janaka Aithe Ganaka, directed by Sandeep Reddy Bandla, promises a quirky take on modern-day family planning. Though entertaining in parts, the film doesn’t fully live up to its potential.
As in his earlier films, Suhas selects an offbeat and quirky tale and shines in his role as Prasad, delivering a grounded performance that highlights the financial anxieties of the average middle-class man. His portrayal is both earnest and charming, especially in the film’s quieter moments. Vennela Kishore, as the bumbling lawyer and friend, adds to the show with his comedic timing, lifting the film where the script falters. Sangeerthana Vipin, though full of potential, is relegated to a limited role. Rajendra Prasad as judge Dharma Rao and Murali Sharma as lawyer Ajay Sharma played important roles.
The film’s premise is its strength—highlighting the pressures of modern parenthood in an increasingly competitive world. The initial portions of Janaka Aithe Ganaka successfully capture the essence of middle-class life, with relatable characters and situations. Suhas’ scenes with Goparaju Ramana, who plays his father, are among the more heartfelt moments that ground the film in reality. However, where the film stumbles is in its execution. The transition from a slice-of-life narrative to a courtroom comedy needed better handling. The legal proceedings, which should have added an engaging dynamic, occasionally devolve into frivolous gags that fail to land due to their over-the-top treatment. The writing in the second half, in particular, needed more coherence to deliver the core message effectively.
Sandeep Reddy Bandla’s direction, though promising in parts, falters when it comes to maintaining a consistent tone. Vijai Bulganin’s music is adequate, and Sai Sriram’s cinematography captures the everyday aesthetics of middle-class life well.
Janaka Aithe Ganaka had the potential to be a witty commentary on the societal pressures of parenthood but falls short of delivering on that promise. Performances by the cast, especially Suhas and Vennela Kishore, provide much-needed relief, saving the film from its underwhelming courtroom sequences. If you’re looking for light-hearted entertainment, the film does offer a few laughs, but it’s best to temper your expectations. While the concept is interesting, the execution leaves much to be desired.
