Plot

[edit]

Ravi is a jobless guy living with his aunt Pushpa. He just sits at home all day and fights with everyone including his aunt and neighbors. His house is in a bad shape now since they do not have money to repair it. They have given an application in the Panchayat for money to repair it. Despite Pushpa always complaining in the Panchayat meetings, they don't seem interested to consider her request.

A local politician named Kuyyali hears this and sees it as an opportunity. He rebuilds their house for them without their permission and keeps a plaque in front of their home advertising his party. Everyone who passes by in front of their home starts noticing it and that irks Ravi and so he breaks it at night. When Kuyyali hears about it, he tries to take advantage of the situation and accuses the opposition party of the wrongdoing. Ravi tells the police that it was he who did that. Kuyyali rebuilds the plaque and threatens Ravi that if he breaks it again, it will be bad for Ravi.

Ravi's neighbor Mohanan's dad gets killed by a wild boar one night when he was supervising his field. To take revenge, Mohanan goes to the field the next night to kill the boar but boar attacks him and he gets injured. Ravi turns up at the scene and kills the Boar instead.

Ravi decides not be lazy in life anymore and starts farming at his home. Meanwhile, Kuyyali through his shoddy schemes tries to take control of all farmer lands. Ravi objects. In revenge, Kuyyali decides that the end location for his election rally will be Ravi's home and they will destroy the home and farm land. Ravi starts destroying the plaque they kept at his home. The party workers starts to fight with Ravi. Ravi wins and then tells Kuyyali never to step on his home again. Ravi proclaims that the farm land belongs to the farmers.

Principal photography began in December 2019 in Kannur district.[8] First schedule was wrapped in February 2020. Second schedule was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India. It was wrapped up on 15 March 2022 in Kannur.[9]

Release

Critical reception

[edit]

Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost praised the cinematography and score but found that the film lacked cohesion: "Great camerawork and music require scripts on which to pin themselves. Sadly, the writing of Padavettu is too defused to serve this purpose." Rating the film 2.5 out of 5 stars, Vetticad wrote, "The first half is solid, but leads into a second half clouded by mixed metaphors and hazy philosophising...".[11]

The narrative centers on Ravi Koroth, portrayed by Nivin Pauly, a seemingly apathetic youth in a rural North Kerala village who mobilizes against local political enforcers seeking to expropriate communal farmlands amid systemic oppression.
Released theatrically on 21 October 2022, the film features supporting performances by Aditi Balan, Shammi Thilakan, and Shine Tom Chacko, with music composed by Govind Vasantha.

Critics commended the film's insightful depiction of rural socio-political struggles and character-driven , with OTTPlay giving it 3.5 stars for its "well-crafted, emotionally charged call for resistance" rooted in relatable peasant conflicts against power structures. lauded Pauly's dual-layered performance—internal intensity paired with external transformation—as excellent in a "powerfully cinematic story of an unlikely saviour." However, several reviewers pointed to flaws in narrative focus and pacing, with The New Indian Express describing it as "ambitious on paper but middling in execution," blending character study and socio-political drama unevenly and succumbing to predictable plot turns. Firstpost criticized the vague wanderings and Pauly's apparent mismatch with the material, suggesting a struggle between instinct and scripting that dilutes the thriller elements. Onmanorama noted the powerful first half exposing political evils but faulted the second for digression, preventing full cohesion. On Rotten Tomatoes, limited critic consensus echoed overload in ambitions, with director Liju Krishna attempting too much and resulting in diluted impact.

The narrative's focus on rural and resonated with viewers interested in authentic regional stories, including youth audiences who appreciated its messages on and societal change, though no formal polls quantified demographic appeal.

While word-of-mouth sustained limited runs in rural and niche theaters, the modest totals—estimated under ₹3 net in —reflected strengths in targeted engagement but weaknesses in mass-market draw, preventing full budget recovery for its producers. This outcome underscored causal factors like genre-specific appeal constraining wider profitability in a market favoring high-octane entertainers.

Themes and analysis

Political and social commentary

Padavettu depicts the exploitation of farmers by local political figures in rural northern , particularly in , a region historically dominated by the (CPI(M)) and marked by recurrent . The underscores how politicians impose identities and agendas on communities for electoral gain, mirroring documented cases where party affiliations override individual land rights and economic needs, exacerbating agrarian distress amid declining paddy cultivation and farmer indebtedness. This portrayal prioritizes the tangible hardships faced by smallholders—such as unprofitable farming due to policy disincentives and environmental shifts—over romanticized collective mobilization, drawing from empirical patterns of rural stagnation in where state interventions have favored larger interests. Central to the film's commentary is the theme of individual agency as a catalyst for resistance against entrenched , challenging assumptions that systemic change requires institutionalized leftist frameworks. The protagonist's personal revolt symbolizes a break from normalized dependency on party machinery, which in contexts has perpetuated cycles of violence and control rather than resolving underlying economic vulnerabilities like shortages and failures. This approach highlights causal links between unchecked political power and farmer marginalization, evidenced by over 400 reported violence cases in since 2016, yet critiques arise for potentially underplaying multifaceted , including land conversion and global market pressures. While the effectively spotlights the need for sustainable agrarian reforms amid Kerala's documented losses—exceeding ₹500 crore in 2024 from climate impacts alone—it has been noted for simplifying complex dynamics, such as the interplay of neoliberal policies and state subsidies that sustain but distort farming viability. Reviews praise its unapologetic exposure of power abuses but caution against over-reliance on heroic , which may overlook collective failures in addressing suicides and land decline driven by broader structural incentives. This tension reflects a broader discourse on whether cinematic narratives like Padavettu advance causal realism in critiquing regional or risk narrative shortcuts in depicting solutions to entrenched socio-economic inertia.

Stylistic elements

The film adopts a deliberate slow-burn pacing, methodically establishing character motivations and rural dynamics before escalating into confrontational action, which supports narrative realism by mirroring the gradual accrual of personal grievances in isolated communities. This approach avoids abrupt shifts, allowing sequences of everyday village routines—such as agricultural labor and interpersonal tensions—to unfold causally, grounded in observable social cause-and-effect rather than contrived drama. Directorial choices emphasize technical authenticity in action elements, particularly the Ravi's pursuits, rendered with adherence to physical constraints like limitations and mechanical realism, eschewing exaggerated stunts for sequences that prioritize plausible and risk. further bolsters this by favoring unadorned visuals that capture the village setting's raw textures, diverging from the high-gloss production values prevalent in commercial to evoke an unfiltered sense of locale. In drawing from conventions, the style achieves coherence through integrated motifs—like recurring wildlife metaphors—that tie environmental and human struggles without disrupting flow, though it occasionally sacrifices novelty for familiar escalation patterns. This results in a structurally tight progression from to ignition, prioritizing causal logic over stylistic flourishes.

Director's allegations

In March 2022, Liju Krishna, director of Padavettu, was arrested by police on charges of and filed by a female colleague from an earlier project, with the complaint lodged at the Infopark in . The allegations detailed an assault occurring during professional interactions, prompting immediate investigation under relevant provisions of the , including Section 376 for . Krishna was apprehended at a shooting location in and later released on bail, with the case proceeding through courts. The accusations surfaced amid the film's pre-release phase, leading to legal challenges against Padavettu's screening; in July 2022, the dismissed a petition from the survivor seeking to block certification, ruling that a director's pending criminal case does not warrant halting distribution of completed work absent direct evidentiary links to production misconduct. In 2022, the complainant reiterated demands for Krishna's name to be excised from the film's credits, citing ongoing trauma and hospitalization, though no such removal occurred as the movie released on September 2, 2022, retaining his directorial attribution. Krishna publicly denied the charges, accusing industry figures like Geethu Mohandas and the Women's Collective for Cinema (WCC) of rumor-mongering to undermine the film, while the WCC countered by amplifying survivor accounts and pressing film bodies for accountability without presuming judicial outcomes. No convictions have been reported as of , with proceedings ongoing; defense arguments have emphasized lack of corroborative evidence beyond testimony, contrasted against prosecution reliance on victim statements and medical reports. The controversy contributed to subdued promotional efforts for Padavettu and scrutiny over industry awards, where associations with accused figures have historically deterred nominations in , though specific empirical data on lost recognitions remains anecdotal amid broader #MeToo echoes. This has cast a shadow on the film's legacy, framing discussions of its political themes against unresolved personal allegations, without altering verified production credits or box-office metrics.
