A group of liquor barons, who are members of the Indian Liberation Party (ILP), want the declining party to win the upcoming [[Elections in Kerala|Kerala state election]] to benefit their business interests. 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]]. | A group of liquor barons, who are members of the Indian Liberation Party (ILP), want the declining party to win the upcoming [[Elections in Kerala|Kerala state election]] to benefit their business interests.

Pulikeshi meets Kammaran, now an ailing old man living in an old house with his son Bose.

To destroy his love rival, Othenan, Kammaran incites violence between the villagers, Othenan, Othenan's cruel landlord | Pulikeshi meets Kammaran, now an ailing old man living in an old house with his son Bose. Kammaran tells the young man a story: During [[World War II]], Kammaran was a cunning medical practitioner who would do anything for personal gain. To destroy his love rival, Othenan, Kammaran incites violence between the villagers, Othenan, Othenan's father and cruel landlord Kelu, and British officers. During the violence, Kammaran kills Kelu and Othenan is arrested. Later, Othenan visits Kammaran in the night, but as Kammaran tells the story he begins coughing and is unable to continue. | ||
Pulikeshi makes the film as the ILP instructed, and when Kammaran watches it he realizes the roles have been reversed. In the film, Othenan and his friend Singh are working for the British; they are captured as traitors by Netaji ([[Subhas Chandra Bose]]) but they escape and Othenan kills the man who reported their treason. The landlord's wife Maheshwari is then shown inflicting cruelty when Kammaran arrives as the leader of the ILP, preventing the harassment of poor tenants and gaining such mass support that Maheshwari is forced to flee. Kammaran is shown doing many things for the benefit of the villagers, such as looting money from the British to distribute amongst the villagers. Kammaran marries Bhanumathi ([[Namitha Pramod]]) when Othenan returns and plots with Maheshwari and the British against Kammaran. The plot involves using Netaji's death to gain Kammaran's trust, so that they can then blame Kammaran for the planned assassination of [[Mahatma Gandhi]]. | Pulikeshi makes the film as the ILP instructed, and when Kammaran watches it he realizes the roles have been reversed.

To foil the assassination plot, Kammaran posts his men in three places along Gandhi's procession route to a temple, while he rides on a train with Gandhi. Othenan secretly boards the train and moves against Gandhi, but an informer has warned Kammaran who stops and chases him, fighting, and Othenan is killed after a brutal struggle on top of the train. Kammaran stands to be hanged for killing a British officer. The only person who believes his story is Robert S. Coogan, who convinces [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] to free him. The film ends with Kammaran refusing his followers' request to participate in elections, but promising to be back when he is needed. | To foil the assassination plot, Kammaran posts his men in three places along Gandhi's procession route to a temple, while he rides on a train with Gandhi.
