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!

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..!!

Hail... Motherland..!!

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.

After my father's death..,

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.

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...
