What happens in Pramani from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Viswanatha Panicker [Mammootty] is the long-standing, corrupt president of the Thazhe Keezhppadam grama panchayath in Kuttanad, ruling for a quarter of a century with an iron grip and a willingness to bend the law to fill his pockets. He amasses wealth by steering villagers to hand over their lands, yet never keeps the titles in his own name; instead, he funnels profits to his relatives. His slick, calculating style earns him the nickname “America,” a reflection of how he plays the big brother to influence every issue that touches his grip on power. All of his dealings run through his cousin and trusted confidant Somasekharan [Siddique], whose loyalty keeps the machine humming.
