Kammatipaadam is a new Malayalam movie premiered on May 20, 2016. Kammatipaadam is not a movie but brutal, hard and sheer realistic depiction of buried secrets behind the transformation of Ernakulam currently a concrete jungle from lush green serene in the past. Director Rajeev Pillai and script writer Balachandran had worked hard to pull off a movie of toughness with naturalness. The story unfolds through the eyes of Krishnan played brilliantly by Dulquer Salmaan who returns to Kochi in search of his friend Ganga played effectively by Vinayakan from his childhood days. Dulquer Salmaan needs to be lauded for the choice of roles whether it is Bangalore days or Charlie or Kali and now it is Kammatipaadam. Keep up the good work always Dulquer. Story goes back and front and depicts the friendship between Krishnan, Ganga and Balan, Ganga's elder brother and his gang. Newcomer Manikandan was perfect as balan. The movie depicts through events the transformation of each and every character into a fully developed outlaw. Kindly watch it out as what really happened to his friend Ganga. Strictly worthy movie for serious viewers irrespective of language.
