The plot
When planter Samuel Umman dies in a suspected road accident, Circle Inspector Antonio George (Sudev) senses something is off, especially when he notices a missing necklace at the scene. His investigation leads to Shaji, an auto driver with a criminal past, who is soon found dead in a quarry.

A mysterious two-wheeler at a construction site points to deeper involvement, and all clues slowly circle back to Francis, a quiet worker from Samuel’s plantation. As Antonio digs deeper, what unravels is a chilling web of deceit, silence, and secrets buried far beneath the surface

According to director Shan Thulasidharan, ‘Kammatam’ is a grounded thriller built on real events that once shook a quiet town. “The story draws its strength from the community’s closeness, yet secrets run deep. Filming in such an authentic setting allowed us to bring out the eerie normalcy that surrounds the unfolding mystery. We focused on telling a taut, character-driven story that feels real, unsettling, and deeply rooted in Kerala’s cultural fabric," he said. The series will begin streaming from August 29 on Zee5
