Trailer of Kalamkaval

A quote by SJ Ethan- "The venom beneth can't be suppressed forever"- opens the one-and-a-half-minute video. An fascinating case that occurred in the little village of Kottayikonam in Trivandrum, close to the Tamil Nadu border, is explained to the audience in what appears to be a crime programme on a television channel.

"A serious altercation breaks out among two youngsters and their friends. It quickly turns into a riot between the region's two dominating communities. The Kerala Police Special Investigation Team finds startling facts they never anticipated while delving into the depths of these communal clashes". The host explains that what transpires is the tale of an astonishing investigation when they understand they have arrived at an indication of a major crime scenario. The police officers portrayed by Vinayakan and Gibin Gopinath are then shown in the trailer searching for a suspect in this crime.

At the end of the trailer, Mammootty's character is shown asking, "Do you know what gives the greatest pleasure when you kill it?" while smoking a cigarette. This has increased anticipation for the movie's upcoming theatrical release.
