Lekhayude Maranam Oru Flashback , Premnazirine Kaananilla, Udayanaanu Thaaram - some well remembered Malayalam flicks with the 'cinema-within-cinema' theme - Kammara Sambhavam maintains the premise and yet comes as a genre breaking revelation. Probably a first of its kind attempted ever, Kammara Sambhavam is a satirical gem of a film which brings with it a notion that has been loathed by many, but praised by few. Catching your attention with the most eccentric way of presentation, with the true story reeling out on the first half and the blockbuster version towards the second half, it's a good exemplar of deviating amusingly from the conventional way of storytelling. Kammara Sambhavam is all about a group of liquor barons set out to boost the long incumbent party ILP by rebranding their supposed to be founder Kammaran as an illustrious hero. To this end, they approach a film maker who in turn gets to Kammaran for the entire story. In spite of what instead comes from Kammaran as a confession-of-sorts retelling of the actual events that transpired, the movie made subsequently rewrites the history in a most audacious way. Murali Gopi the writer has come out all guns ablaze after the magnificent left right left this time - basing the chain of events on Napoleon Bonaparte's famous quote - "History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon". As is anticipated from a political satire like this, frequent jabs at the left and right coalition parties and a brilliant crossover of pop culture, black comedy and period cinema is amalgamated in this engaging spoof. All the actors who played actual roles in first half re-emerge as themselves aka actors who play the twisted up and concocted ballad of Kammaran in the second half , adding to the overall novelty of the proceedings. Apart from Ratish Ambat who has delivered a technically well made period flick with flawlessly captured historical settings with its INA-Subhash Chandra Bose-Japan premise, it is the terrific on screen presence of Janapriya Nayakan Dileep which works for the movie. Tailor made for the role as the cunning, two-timing Kammaran, Dileep performs majestically from the pre-independent era quack doctor to the present days scheming oldie transitioning with ease and manipulating everyone along the way. While being far more imaginative and with fresh content than any of the new gen ultra realistic type flick of late, it's rather unfair that this movie was frequently panned by the critics and seldom praised for its Genuineness - maybe the lead actors personal issues and recent cases affecting the public outlook pessimistically.
