Reasons to watch Kammattam

Investigation shown in a fast-paced manner

The creators' choice to keep the action moving without making the audience bored is the most impressive feature about this Malayalam web series. In contrast to other web series, this six-episode series is quick to watch and avoids lagging or introducing too many subplots that could lead to a sequel. Each episode barely lasts 15 to 20 minutes and presents the plot, who did what, and why, in an uncomplicated way.

Intriguing plotline

Antonio George, the investigating officer, is drawn to Shaji, a car driver with a criminal record, after planter Samuel Umman dies mysteriously. But later on, Shaji is discovered murdered in a quarry. Following a series of leads, he is subsequently led on a convoluted trail that ultimately reveals a cooperative bank-affiliated scam. The series, which is based on a real and contentious occurrence that happened lately in Kerala, illustrates the how and why.

Sudev Nair as cop Antonio George

Even if the other members of the ensemble have less screen time and serve only as narrative devices, Sudev Nair, as always, gives a powerful and persuasive performance as the investigating officer, Antonio George. The actor's performance and mannerisms are yet another compelling feature of this Malayalam web series.

Story based on real-life incidents

It is notable that the filmmakers made a decent attempt to include a true story that was recently widely reported and discussed in Kerala. Rather than making it the main story point, they effectively used it as a subplot that served as the motivation for a string of killings.
