Synopsis

A city with a serene past, turned into a concrete jungle through violence & deceit is “Kammatipaadam”. Krishnan, now a security officer in Mumbai returns to Kochi after receiving a distress call from his childhood friend Ganga. He recalls his past on how manipulative forces used & discarded inhabitants of Kochi. The friendship of a middle-class boy Krishnan with Ganga & his family, forms the crux of this movie & are exposed to violence at young age. Inspired by the heroics & manliness of Ganga’s elder brother Balettan, Krishnan & his gang indulge in unlawful activities as they grow up. Krishnan turns into an outlaw by murdering a policeman in his adolescence. Balettan argues with his grandfather over his deeds & complains his forefathers’ ideologies being useless. The film urges to question the false image of development which trivialised traditional values & beliefs held by Dalits, creating a disoriented generation from the Dalit community, who were manoeuvred to violence by the rich.
