Aaraattu

Gopan, an influential ‘goon’ who has been roped in to settle an illegal land issue for Edathala Mathai, a wealthy landowner in Muthalakota. He wants to level out an old 18-acre paddy field to build a township. But, the RDO and the villagers resist it, because it is illegal, and the village is making progress with growing organic vegetables in unused lands, thanks to a group of four young men who call themselves the Muthalakotta Battalion.

Neyyanttinkara Gopan has taken the property on lease and everyone knows that it is Mathai’s ploy to eventually level the land. So Gopan starts off on the wrong foot with everyone, but thanks to his charm and his basic resistance to the meanness of Mathai and his burly sons, he soon has almost all the villagers and even the police eating out of his hands. But who is this Gopan, and what is his actual mission in Muthalakotta.
