Kammaran, The Incident) is a 2018 Indian Malayalam-language epic satirical action film written by Murali Gopy and directed by Rathish Ambat.
To raise the ILP's image, they decide to make a biopic about Kammaran Nambiar, the party patriarch and the last veteran of the Indian independence movement.
They ask director Pulikeshi to make a film based on a chapter in the book Unsung Heroes of India by Robert S. Coogan, in which Kammaran is depicted as a forgotten freedom fighter.
Pulikeshi makes the film as the ILP instructed, and when Kammaran watches it he realizes the roles have been reversed.
They are captured as traitors by Netaji (Subhas Chandra Bose) but they escape, and Othenan kills the man who reported their treason.
However, Kelu Nambiar's wife, Maheshwari, is shown inflicting cruelty and torturing the poor workers.
As a strong symbol, Kammaran took the axe, the weapon Maheshwari's men used to murder his father, on which he swore revenge against India's landlord system.
The film ends with Kammaran refusing his followers' request to participate in elections, but promising to be back when he is needed.
