The governments that came to
power one after the other,

gathered underthis flag that you
can see here, in this house,



KP Manukumar gave me a secret information
that a battle has commenced at Palayam.

Ifthis is true,

this ministry will not last
any longerthan one year.

Within that, we should turn this small
party ca||ed ILP into a mega institution.

That's a||..!!

This is a land where
nothing new grows.

Sheesh!

on every flag that was hoisted
by the politicians here,

what flows is the money that came out
of us liquor barons' sweat & blood.

Hereafter, we are not going
to help any of them.

hereafter,

they won't get any self-respecting
liquor baron here to do that.

Hereafter, there should never be a
ministry in Kerala without our ILP in it.

The goal sounds good.



Historical figure?

Boys,

What ILP has,

against the useless ministers
ofthe 1960's and 70's.

lnstead,

one who fought against
the British empire,

moreover, the oldest freedom
fighter alive today,

Kammaran Nambiar!

if we bring him to the forefront
onefine morning.. Shucks!

Had any of you heard about
Anna Hazare before 2011?

has the capacity to be the
grand-daddy ofAnna Hazare.

It's not any good for nothing
Pillai, Nair or Embranthiri...

It's a first class
22 carat Englishman!

But I didn't listen.

You fool..!!

It's just usual period stuff.

Maybe, if I meet him.

lt's notjust that.

(speaking in broken Tamil)
This Kammaran..

Very good.

And thatAmruthasamudram
mentioned in this book..

You've to climb many hills..

Namaste!
- Come, sirs.

orwill it have his
son's story as well?

it was actually a party founded
by my father.

He was the one who used to
buy tea for my dad then.

And if Kammarettan's son contests, we'll
definitely win and made many such promises!

How is your father?

Notjust him, father.

All of us are going to make a
movie about you, Kammarettan.

Please get up.

Hey,just hold him.

How did you find all this?

We found it!

But these businessmen,

Bose...

All of you step out.
Didn't you hear him?

- Bloody old bloke!
- l'll kick you. Try calling me again!

First let the director listen to it.
We'll hear it later.

Bro..,

every director in Malayalam is inclined
eithertowards the Left orthe Right.

Right?
- That's true.

It's been a really long time...

Have you heard of
Selvan Baba, the Clairvoyant?

With extra sensory powers.

will come searching for you,
to listen to your story.

Listen, kiddo..,

Back then, the Nambiars who betrayed
the Kolathiri King,

So, the hill that the traitor
crossed, became the 'Traitor's Hill'.

Unbeknownst to the British,

made them work day and night, and
cleared the forests ofAmruthasam udram,

He tortured and killed the
men among the Tamilians..

He said that he went away to study.

It's all right, grandmother.

l educated you till 7th grade, so
that you could help your grandmother.

...Time would stand still
and silent like a mute.

rip apart the one who
committed the sin, and eat him up!

Murugesha...

Give me some more time, master.

More time?
- I can't now.

The sugar canes have all
dried up in the summer.

There is no income.

Sir.. Please tell them...

Brother!

Brother, please tell him.

Hey! Stop it.

Kam maran Nambiar, son
of Vishwam bharan.

I'll give it, sir.
Keep this for now.

Rest I'll give later.

This is what you always say.

Kammarodisiac.

That mad Saheb of yours who's under the
spell of Indians, what's he saying?

Only then it will affect the
nerves that 'need to rise'.

And,

Why?

I heard that they came
here after quitting the INA.

Saheb and Madam...

Th...There is a letter, Master.

For his grandmother.

It's for Malayil Amma.
Give it to her.

My Lord,

First you pay the interest forthe
interest; then pay the interest.

Get lost, you dog!

You will be blessed
abundantly, sir.

Now you're as bright as gold...

Othenettan's small talk
with grandmother.

To stay for so many
years in England...

Kammarettan.

Malayil Am ma..

Look who's here!

Gandhiji?
- Yes.

That's what.

But now, "Harijans" are going to
be allowed inside the temple..

English?
- Pattar brought it from town.

No photo?
- Yes. Here.

Oh my Gandhiji!

You don't like Gandhiji?

We||.. Malayil Amma...

when you say Gandhiji,
there's this...,

Not just that...

lsn't Netaji a Bengali, you idiot?

They belong to the upper-caste!

Salutes, sir.

Sir..
-Are you doing good?

Sheesh. These kids don't even bathe!

I thought I'll take it
to Lord Kelu's house..

Bhanu Chechi is always
in front of him, right?

She wants to take
it there, it seems.

The leaves for Aunt Gomathy's
medicines are over.

Kiddo..

Okay, "Kiddo"!

What's happening there?

Yapping all thetime..

were lnspectors sent there
on punishment transfers.

one had to go meet...

The fanatic craze that Saheb
had towards lndian arts...,

or even his wife,
Madam lrene could tolerate.

As Malaria claimed her dear
son's life at Amruthasamudram..,

She kept venting out that
anger against Saheb.

What are they doing?

What you asked for, yesterday...

What's your "Lord Kelu" saying?

Come on.
Tell me.

Daddy!

Mother, hold this.

The leaves were brought
from Ezhimalai.

Come fast.
- Coming, sir.

Need to tell you something.

That Kelu molested
your sister, right?

I will give you a chance.

Didn't he shoot himself?

I didn't want to make you
sad by letting you know.

Do you know what Coogan
Saheb says about Hitler?

He will keep blabbering like that.
Mad Saheb.

Japanese?

One look at their eyes, and you
know they were born to win.

So that's why you're saving
up Japanese currency?

Bhanu Edathi, how is
Malayil Amma now?

Kammarettan has more work during
the night, Aunt Gomathy.

If he has said that,
it must be true.

The pain starts immediately
when that's stopped.

Only he is there if we need
something, in this damned village.

There will be someone to take
care of the house as well.

'Was it me, or the night, that came
swimming across the darkness?‘

'By your side...
just to get a glance of you'

'Come to me, with a shower of
your sweet tunes from the Bansuri'

'Oh Krishna... The dark Lord'

'Was it me, or the night, that came
swimming across the darkness?‘

'And waited far away, unseen'

'In the drizzle at night,
banglesjiggle and smiles bloom'

'Through the window sill'

'l drowned in the beauty that
flows through it... like a cloud'

'Was it me, or the night, that came
swimming across the darkness?‘

'And waited far away, unseen'

'As the sugar canes are filled with honey, the
harvest season is here, the mind awakens'

'I wandered many a time'

'A lifetime is not enough'

'Oh Krishna... The dark Lord'

'The Bansuri playing, blue eyed one'

Come here.

Terrorists are hiding
and attacking. Run!

Master! Don't go!

When you buy it forthe Saheb,
buy a little for us too.

You never listen when ltell you to take
a torch while going for night walks.

Stopped having your gruel?

He asked me not to tell anyone.

Bhanu...,

You always liked him, right?

You should meet him
and talkto him.

You should convince him to
have a change of heart.

This is notjust my necessity.

Without knowing where
he is, how can I?

He said that it flows
to the river Kabani.

It has opened up, again...!

Why are you buying this Japanese
currency paying such a high price?

l have to climb Traitor's Hill
tomorrow morning.

The leaves for the
medicines are over.

The Japanese are still
dropping bombs like mustard seeds...

In the war, the British would
lose to the Japanese.

All the bosses here including Kelu,

Then there would only be Kammaran,
the Japanese and their currency.

Walking is fine!
But take care of your leg.

And be ready for any situation.

But we captured him.
What do we do with him?

And on whose command.

Looks like they are
from this locality.

We came looking for medicines to
increase Malayil Amma's eyesight;

lnspector Saheb suspects that there are
lNA members somewhere in this hill.

Then how did you know?

When I was little, I was bit
by a scorpion here once.

To Lord Kelu...

as the Tamilians stood watching...

Then"

lwill go meet
Lord Kelu once more and come.

Kammarettan is very close to
the Inspector Saheb here.

We will fight from
within the country...

What news?

Losfl

Japanese, it seems!

When America bombed Japan, it wasn't
just my dream, that was shattered.

It was Coogan Saheb's life as well.

and that they would be
able to go back soon...

she left Coogan and left
the country forever.

Madam, I'll take it.

only you are there
for Gomathy and her.

Fighting forthe
country is good...

Don't do anything to Kelu.

Promise me!

Othenan!

loving one's woman,

my mother now.

To take you along with me.

Then how did this happen?

in a sudden attack by
the Japanese army...,

from Singapore to an unknown place.

lsaid, unveil the gun!

Everything is over.

Fire!

We didn't understand the meaning
of that letter, on that day.

and make us fight in the
war against the British.

Friends of the warforfreedom,

Wejoined lNA fascinated
by Netaji's radiance...,

When lndian soldiers themselves
reach the border of our country...,

they would change sides as a
whole group and join the lNA..,

But he was wrong.

and the Indians who were given
new lives as alms by the Japanese.

Wait for sometime, brother.

Himanshu, stop!

Satnam..

Unable to defeat the
Indian troops of the British...,

we understood one thing.

From Indian minds!

Somewhere down the line,
we had an idea in mind.

Towards the South, the villagers
themselves tie up lNA members to trees..

are lndians themselves.

We're officially
inaugurating it here today.

l, Thilakan, hereby pledge that,

.. and saving India from enemies within and
outside, is my primary & final duty,

l have some bad news for you.

That's why,

Netaji has been killed..!!

The media has killed Netaji
several times earlier as well.

Othenan is a good man.

He only hates the sight
of me, his sister.

You go along with him.

l have Kammaran and
Kamala here, right?

l've longed for her
so much, Selvan Baba...

Don't cry!

In this world, only one in
ten thousand gets this card!

The one who has 10,000 shrewd
ideas in his 10 heads.

This girl has another
Lord Sri Ram whom she's waiting for.

Isn't there any other way, Baba?
- No.

What is this?
- Listen carefully.

What was it again?

Come here.

Brother!

to loot it.

I had narrated a lot of both true and false
stories about this village and its people.

I had never even dreamtthat this
crazy Saheb would believe it...,

A new revelation that he has to return
to his own land and his own woman..,

He says that he didn't come here
to sit & chew the betel nut.

Othenan said that he's
going to study in England..,

If you give any information
about Othenan sir...

I don't know to talk about
revolution like you.

It's a man who has a burning
heart full of vengeance.

Coming.

Just one chance, sir.

The temple is his target.

Lord Kelu's goons will
attackthe Tamil slums.

Here.

l have to ask the
Tamilians to be cautious.

Send some weapons with him.

Lord Kelu has some doubts.
That's dangerous.

Kammaretta, be careful.

Sir, you'll be
blessed abundantly!

How is he now?

Sir, Murugeshan came
with you in the morning.

I'll bring it, sir.

Othenan and lLP members
will come there.

We should finish
everything by tonight.

Kammarettan.

Sir..

She wants to meet you.

Listen carefully to what I'm
going to say now, Bhanu.

We need freedom...

This is a dangerous game.

Who is in there?

When you were about to fall..

But..

Othenan will be captured
by the Whites any moment.

You should return our house and land,
that belong to my sister and me.

Hey Pattar..
- Yes.

But..

Othenan and his gang are
given food and shelter..,

They have a grudge
against you as well.

Then shall |..
- Get lost!

You bloody traitor!

You dog who licks the
Britishers' shoes!

Don't kill me!

Don't kill me.

Who is he?

lwas stopping him.

You please leave.

Othenan will kill Kelu..
- Nothing will happen..

What's that on your face?

Father..

Keep it here.

this key,

Our poor father..

Brother..

Did you see Thilakan Chettan?

Othenan...

Othenettan will come.

Torch them!
Torch them all!

Don't step outside, at all!

Go that way!
Fasfl

They have burned everything, sir.

Save us, sir..
- I'll save you!

Sir..
Malayil Amma..

Murugeshan!

Come.

Grandmother!

Sir..

It's
me'

Save me!

Go along with Kelu Nambiar,
to hold his umbrella!

Sir!
Save us!

Sir! Please save us!

Go! Go!

We've lost everything!

You betrayed this land and
that innocent Othenan..

Long Live lLP!

There's someone behind all this.

Where did Satnam go?

This letter will save
you from the British.

Thank you!

Aunt Gomathy!

Othenan has been
taken to Calcutta.

Saheb said that
they will kill him.

But I couldn't.

We were betrayed by Lord Kelu!

Don't cry!

What is she doing?

Did you see Thilakan Chettan?

Slogan: "When her
husband was not around..."

Are you okay?

Sir, did you see Othenan afterthat?

Dad?
- Open your eyes, dad.

Pulikesi sir, how is the story?

Did he say anything about
my protests and strikes?

MN Nambiar!
Villain!

If you're planning to
make an art film like...

Got it?
- Siju,

We should turn this MN
Nambiar into an MGR!

It will happen.

How?

That too, in black.

That means?
- No way!

But one thing.

You need to give me artistes who
match these photos exactly.

And for Kammaran's character,

Then"

First I need to see
the flag of your lLP.

How is it?
- Hold it the other way round!

Take that black cloth.

Vignesh, give me the marker.

Sheesh!

In the scorching heat of corruption,
with a raining cloud of virtue;

And ya, director!

It's time for an interval now!

Bose!

Hey..

l'm anxious to know how the
people would respond to it.

God only knows what all troubles
are going to come ourway.

my own story, after all?

Hey Bo..

Vishwambharan!

Beyond this step..,
it's our country!

lfthey do, slice them up, boy!

Thimmappa!
- Madam!

Father!

'The Event'

But who?
Where?

Netaji, we've captured two of your
soldiers who were acting as double agents.

These two?

Forgive us, Netaji.
- Forgive us, Netaji.

Forgive us, Netaji.

the farmer's sweat is
like nectarfor the land.

The crops will burn!

And not to advocate non-violence
and stay coughing and barking!

Maheshwari!

itwill open its mouth
some day in the future;

A for?
-Atrocity!

Maheshwari Am ma is here!

please give us some more time.

Ammfl

Don't hit me, please!

Reveal yourself!

(Cheering)

with his neck tied
to a sugar cane shoot..,

And screamed like a little girl!

You could only see the Vishwambharan
swinging dead on the pole..,

You didn't hear anything!
You didn't see anything!

By reporting what was never true..,

This has become the land
of fake Messiahs like you!

The people who are with
me..are not wastrels!

They desire nothing.
They believe in truth alone.

By you!

Hail... Kammaran..!!
- Pattar..

Hail... Motherland..!!

Hail... Motherland..!!

if we don't do anything
at the righttime..,

God! Master Othenan!

Son..

Imagine how it would have been
if the British hadn't come here.

Everything that we see here,
was made by them.

If they are given freedom, the people here
would fight each other in the name of..

No Kammaran shall rise
from this Amruthasam udram.

Butthere's no point in chopping and
severing their horns and limbs.

They should be killed.

For the time being, no one should
know that l have come here.

First l have to join
him as his close aide.

To hand overa letterto you.

...at Formosa.

This is a com mand for you.

At Madurai.

Definitely!

After my father's death..,

and wandered a lot.

Congress badly needs
patriots like you.

Whoever is with you in the Congress party,

I cannot fight this war for
freedom, along with them.

and a lightning bolt.

How's it going to happen?

On the coming February 2nd..,

character in this movie - Dileep.

The crowd has gathered to catch
a glimpse of Kammarettan.

As Kammaran sir's son,
what is your opinion?

I grew up listening to these stories
of my father from my mother.

Look at their excitement!

The audience should always
be with the character..,

Congratulations!
- Ya right.

' To rule for five years...,
The tender has been called for! '

' The land is all quaking!'

' The biggies are shaken...
The foxes are bewildered! '

"We'll sing all the way...
And win the race!"

"Then, think and think,
on how to win back the defector"

"We'll throw notes, and buy votes!"

l have fought..,

"Milk will flow! Honey will flow!"

"We'll seduce them all..,
and make them fools..!!"

"We'll 'sack' the voters, and...

Bose Kammaran, Kerala Chief Minister.

"We'll sing all the way...
And win the race!"

without a Left front
or Right front,

Kammaretta...

Please come.

Namaste, everyone.

I had never desired to be
in positions of power.

I've always handed over positions
and fame to others, and stayed away.

But what is the greatest threat
that our land is facing today?

In such a situation, no politician
whom you are familiar with,

Time and History...
are saying that to me.

to fit the hats of the fathers
on to the heads ofthe children..,

Children should prove themselves
that they are the true successors.

l have the responsibility to make my
own son stand away from power now.

Then who else?

That should be decided by
you, the people who voted.

It's me, Murugeshan from Am ruthasamduram.
Don't you remember me?

Didn't he die then?

Long Live... Chief Minister
Kammaran Nambiar..!!

Long Live... Chief Minister
Kammaran Nambiar..!!

Freedom fighter Kam maran Nambiar
is the Chief Minister of Kerala.

Let itgo on like this
forthe time being.

The old man isn't
like how you think.

.. that he has the heart of an 18 year old
& blood pressure of a 21 year old.

we will make a permanent
liquor policy for the state.

Let me see that once.

lam not that old Kam maran, now.

I'm a new Kammaran...
a public leader.

This Kammaran cannot look at a piece of
paper which looks like a grocery list..,

Create a communal riot or unleash violence
in the name of some random problem.

Or else, make some woman com plain that
the opposition leaders molested her.

Then both the media and the
people will go behind that.

And many other things
will follow that..!

who won.

Kammaran Nambiar!

He wants to study it, it seems!

I had warned you not to trust
this old bloke. Suffer now!

I'll come wearing a belt
bomb like Lankan militants!

Achaya, he's not a Chief Minister.
He's a Thief Minister!

Ya right!
- Why can't you understand?

Come. Let's go!

Why did you want
to meet me alone?

You're the Chief Minister now, right?

But to make this story
as afilm in Tamil..,

Slogan: "At the shore of waves"

Why did you come here now?

Who will they see?

India got Independence,
it seems!

'Shelter’ for everyone.

We used to fight forjustice back then.

lwished to stay alive
because of only one desire.

is my wife now.

You traitor!

Yes. I am a traitor!

Didn't I tell you that my father's body,
which was half-eaten by the riverfish..,

I'll tell you the rest.

Kammaran!

Except for the promises he made.

Kammaran sir!

You added a lot of masala and
made it into a movie...,

And this is called...

There's something that all my
predecessors on this chair did.

Forget the roads I travelled,
to reach here..!!
