==Plot==
Krishnan ([[Dulquer Salmaan|Dulquer]]), who works in a security firm in Mumbai, receives a call from his childhood friend Ganga ([[Vinayakan]]). The call indicates that Ganga is in danger and needs Krishnan's help. Later, Krishnan travels to Kerala to find Ganga. During his journey, Krishnan recalls the memories of his hometown Kammattippaadam.

In the early 1980s, Krishnan, a primary school student befriends Gangadharan/Ganga, a kid who belongs to a Dalit family. Ganga's brother Balan/Balan Chettan ([[Manikandan R. Achari|Manikandan]]) is a thug and is involved in smuggling spirit. Both Krishnan and Ganga are introduced to violence at a very young age. Krishnan is in love with Anitha ([[Shaun Romy]]), a relative of Ganga (Anitha is Ganga's bride as per custom).

Krishnan, Ganga, Balan Chettan, Venu ([[Vinay Forrt]]) and others form a gang working for a local Mogul named Surendran Aashaan ([[Anil Nedumangad]]). After the gang is involved in a fight, Krishnan kills a police officer while trying to save Ganga. He then goes to jail and returns to Kammattippaadam only to discover that the gang is now more advanced and are smuggling spirit under the leadership of Surendran Aashaan. The gang creates a lot of enemies, which includes Johnny ([[Shine Tom Chacko|Shine]]). Krishnan discovers that Ganga is also in love with Anitha and is planning to get married soon. The gang threatens the local people to leave their homes at low price. Ganga's grandfather is devastated at his grandchildrens' involvement in it and he dies grief-stricken at their disrespect.

Balan who is now a changed man after his grandfather's death wants to stop everything. One night Balan's wife demands to go to medical shop to get some supplies. They are accompanied by both Ganga and Krishnan. Balan Chettan says that he wants to stop his criminal activity and simply wants to live happily with his family in Kammattippaadam by starting a travel agency. During their conversation about Anitha, Balan mentions his wish to see Krishnan marry her and this causes Ganga and Balan to end up in a fight. Ganga gets out of the car. Later, Balan, Krishnan and Balan's wife Rosamma (Amalda Liz) reach the nearby medical shop. Rosamma and Krishnan get out of the car and walk towards the medical shop. Balan, too intoxicated stays in the car which moments later gets hit by a truck, explodes and leaves Balan Chettan dead. Ganga blames Krishnan for his brother's death and both their friendship is torn apart.

Later, Krishnan starts a travel agency and Ganga still remains a thug. The gang later hanging out in a bar, a discussion cracks out among the gang members, one among them asks whether Krishnan remembers how much he has vomited while coming back from a trip at Alappuzha & he says the stain of Krishnan's vomit is still persistent on the bathroom wall, meanwhile they meet a friend Sumesh ([[Suraj Venjaramood]]) & the discussion turns to be serious when they learn that Johnny was the one who planned Balan's murder. An enraged Krishnan and Ganga stab Johnny, landing them in trouble, chased by the police. Krishnan gets arrested saving Ganga. Meanwhile, Ganga marries Anitha and then Krishnan relocates to Mumbai.

In the present, Krishnan learns about the mishaps created by Ganga and tries to find him with the help of Rosamma. Rosamma reveals that it could be Johnny who is behind Ganga's problems and Krishnan sets on a journey to find Johnny. Johnny who is paralysed after Ganga stabbing him says that he is not aware of Ganga's whereabouts. Krishnan beats down all of Johnny's gang members but the fight ends with Krishnan getting stabbed by Johnny's brother Sunny ([[Shane Nigam]]).

Later, Krishnan is left heartbroken when he hears that Ganga's dead body has been found. He later seeks the help of Aashaan who is now a big business entrepreneur to find the real killer only to discover that he is the one who murdered Ganga. Aashaan reveals that he killed Ganga due to his constant disturbance and demands for money. Aashaan is killed by Krishnan kicking him out the window of his high storey apartment built on the swamps on Kammattippaadam.

==Background==
[[Ernakulam]] was a small town during the early 1950s, and during the [[First E. M. S. ministry|first communist government of EMS Namboodiripad]] in 1957, small tracts of farm land were given to all landless community, mainly to the [[Dalit]] community, under the [[Land reform in Kerala|Land Reforms Ordinance Act]]. But in the later years, Ernakulam boomed into a metro city, and real estate skyrocketed. The swamps and paddy fields were converted to housing boards, luxury villas and apartments.

''Kammatipadam'' shows how the Dalits were forced by their own brethren (depicted in the film as Balan Chettan and gang) to sell out their lands to the real estate mafia, of which the members were born among them (represented by Surendran aka Aashaan in the film).<ref>Sreedhar Pillai (26 May 2016). [https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/how-malayalam-film-kammatipaadam-shatters-stereotypes-about-caste-and-complexion-2800214.html "How Malayalam film 'Kammatipaadam' shatters stereotypes about caste and complexion"]. ''[[Firstpost.com]]''. Retrieved 11 October 2020.</ref><ref>Anu AS (14 November 2016). [https://www.mutemelodist.com/postings.php?pid=353&cid=10&subid=37 "The Missing People: Critiquing the Dalit representation in “Kammattipadam”"]. ''Mutemelodist.com''. Retrieved 11 October 2020.</ref> It is an irony that Balan Chettan and Gangadharan who work as goons of the mafia themselves are grandsons of a staunch Communist grandfather (Achachan in the film). Father of Gangadharan is also depicted as strong believer of Communism, who reads only [[Deshabhimani]], the official Communist daily. By the time Balan and the gang understood the reality, literally, they lost the ground under their feet and even their lives. Dalits had no right over the lands through generations, but when they got it, their own next generation's irresponsible and uncivil deeds, despite the warning from elders, led to losing those rights. The events in the movie show how undesirable events unfold within a community that does not understand the meaning of [[liberty]] and lacks unity and civility. Because of the rude deeds of few uncivil minds in their own community, the history of Dalits repeats, as most of them lose their lands and existence itself. Although the film upholds intercaste friendship and marriage values, the main characters' lives are depicted to be wasted due to their irresponsible and impulsive behaviour.

Rajeev Ravi wrote in an article in ''Deshabhimani'' few days after the release of the movie that the word ‘Pulayan’ was not allowed to be used even once in the movie by the Censor Board.{{cn|date=October 2020}}

Gowtham VS of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' wrote: "Rajiv Ravi has dismantled all conventional concepts of Malayali aesthetics by capturing the unadulterated beauty of black skin through characters who portrayed the lives of Dalits. The director has continued to use his anarchic concepts of visualisation, which include shaky shots, blurred frames and sometimes abrupt sequences. The realistic and daring approach of Rajiv Ravi deserves standing ovation at times when the paper tigers in this industry still fear to come up with something different from the old mould."<ref>Gowtham VS (21 May 2016).
