The Evil Deeds of Cheriyachan (1979)
Cheriyachan, a landlord, feels threatened by industrialisation and leftist activities. But when he witnesses police atrocities on poor peasants, a feeling of guilt engulfs him and he feels responsible for the guilt of his entire class. He is last seen up a coconut tree trying to keep away from the police. The film is about a peasant's movement against the feudal system.
