Backer’s debut telling the love story between a young woman (Shalini) and a radical political activist (Chandran). The relationship ‘humanises’ the idealist who is declared to be a criminal. The featurette ends with police killing the hero, a tragedy the woman learns about through the newspapers. Several young Malayalam directors were strongly influenced by the film, notably T.V. Chandran (Alicinte Anveshanam, 1989), who plays the lead, and Raveendran, who worked on it. The film was repeatedly censored, and even pulled out of theatres during the Emergency, apparently on Indira Gandhi’s instructions.

Censor certificate

The image shows a certificate issued by the Central Board of Film Censors, dated 31st December 1976. The certificate is for an exhibition in Malaysia, titled "Kabadi Rok Chhauwangee," and includes handwritten details such as the certificate number, name, and date of issue. The certificate is marked with the seal of the Government of India and is issued in New Delhi. The geographic location is likely in India, as indicated by the text and the official seal.

The film opens with the burning torch (invoking underground political action) accompanied by the poignant musical chorus (conjuring up the spirit of a mobilized collective, and of collective homage). This is followed by the shot of a train.

One way of reading these two shots together is to say they sum up the protagonist's past, hinting at his involvement in radical politics due to which he has to go in hiding to escape from the Police. In other words, a short montage introducing our protagonist, who is a Naxalite on the run.

G. Devarajan, known for his musical compositions for the stage and film melodramas propagating the Left's political messages, composed the background score for the film.

The image shows a flame rising vertically against a dark background. The flame appears to be burning steadily, with a bright, white core and a slightly darker, smoky outer edge. The flame seems to be rising from a small, glowing object at its base. The surrounding area is completely black, making the flame stand out prominently.

The scene appears to be set in a dark, enclosed space, possibly indoors. The flame is likely being fueled by a small source of fuel, such as a candle or a lighter.

There is no discernible text in the image.

P A Backer’s debut in direction. Before making Kabani, Backer had worked as production boy in Neelakkuyil, production designer in Mudiyanaya Puthran, production manager in Chemmeen, and produced Olavum Theeravum -- all milestones.

Backer left education after his eighth grade, to join cinema. In Madras, Backer opened a lodging facility, which came to be known as ‘Pune Home’, to “give shelter” to many graduates from Pune Film Institute who were to spend their initial years in penury. John Abraham, cameraman Ramachandrababu, K G George, M Azad, Balu Mahendra, etc., have stayed here after graduating from the Institute, according to several accounts.

The producer of the film Pavithran, who later went on to become a major director in parallel cinema in Malayalam, had to sell off his farm land to make the film. Pavithran and Backer decided to shoot the film in Bangalore in order to avail the Karnataka state government’s subsidy of Rs 5,00,00/-. The shooting started in Bangalore on the next day of the declaration of the Emergency. After the first schedule, while the editing was in progress in Madras, the Police arrested Backer, was taken to Kodampakkam Police station, was questioned and later released.

The first cut edited by Kalyana Sundaram disappointed everyone, as “it looked like just another love story”. The legend is that Backer disappeared with the print, and came back with a re-edited film, which impressed everyone. The Censor Board removed roughly 1800 ft from the film. In an article, K N Shaji describes Pavithran, John Abraham and P A Backer as directors who transformed “viewing (cinema) as an act of rebellion”. The article describes the film as the first attempt in Malayalam cinema to tell the story of a Naxalite.

The film brought together a number of figures who were to become important directors in parallel cinema movement in Malayalam: Director T V Chandran plays the protagonist Gopi; Chintha Ravindran plays a small role of the mobilized worker; its producer Pavithran later directed films like Yaro Oral.

The film was distributed by Janashakthi Films - a production and distribution company launched by the CPM with the money collected from people. Janashakthi rented off-beat films, exhibited them in theatres and made them available for film societies in the region.

Janashakthi has the ambitions of making Mrinal Sen direct a film on Kayyur movement. As its production ventures didn't succeed, Janashakthi tried to reduce its losses by exhibiting the 16mm prints of the films, which it had the distribution rights for, in festival and fair grounds.

For those who are interested in more on Janashakthi films: Janashakthi Films started as an initiative by the CPI(M), in association with Deshabhimani Study Circle, in order to attract the youth fascinated by the new enthusiasms especially in and around cinema during the 1970s that manifested in the forms of film society movements, attempts to spread political literacy through international cinema, search for new aesthetics in cinema-making, etc. Chathunni Master, then the Party’s State Secretariat member and a leading figure of the Deshabhimani Study Circle, in consultations with the Left ideologue P Govindapillai, conceived Janashakthi in the context of the emerging film literacy movements in Kerala during the 1970s.

On Jan 25, 1977, it got registered as Janashakthi Films Pvt Ltd as per the Companies Act of 1956. It sold its 118 shares for Rs. 5000 per each, to around 40 people; set up an office near Town Hall in Ernakulam; Advocate Jayapala Menon was appointed its managing director. Janashakthi was instrumental in the distribution of films like Mrinal Sen’s Bhuvan Shome, and Ek Din Prathi Din, Khatak’s Subarnarekha, B V Karanth’s Chomanadudi, Girish Kasaravalli’s Ghatashradha, Ray’s Pather Panchali, and Apur Sansar, P Lankesh’s Pallavi, Bhim Singh’s Oru Nadikai Nadam Parkkinal, Kutishai, Shyam Benegal’s Bhoomika, and Manthan, etc. in Kerala, in theatres and through film societies. It brought the “outright” of many award winning unreleased films like Agraharathil Kazhuthai, Bakkar’s Kabani Nadi Chuvannappol, G S Panicker’s Ekakini. Ekakini happens to be the only film that brought Janashakthi some profit – the film was bought at its production cost of Rs 1.25 lakhs. Apparently, the practice of showing award winning films as ‘Noon Show’s at Ernakulam Kavitha theatre – one of the first to start the practice – began with the screening of Ekakini. (Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s Chithralekha had initially brought the distribution rights of the film and had helped G S Panicker by paying the money required for completing its post-production works in Chennai. However, the release was getting delayed indefinitely.)

Janashakthi brought the rights of Agraharathil Kazhuthai by paying Rs 2.5 lakhs when the Brahmin community’s opposition in Tamil Nadu had made sure the film was not released in the theatres in the state, and after it was even denied a screening slot in Doordarshan even after it winning the national award. In the film festival that Janashakthi Films organized in 1978 from Oct 20-26 at Ernakulam Kavitha and Shenoys theatres, it screened films like Mrinal Sen’s 1977 Telugu film like Oka Oori Katha, Jack Gold’s Aces High (1976; English), Agraharathil, Alain Resnais’ Stavisky… (1974), Shyam Benegal’s Bhoomika, Sergei Bondarchuk’s They Fought For Their Motherland (1975; Russian), Girish Kasaravalli’s Ghatashradha, etc.

Janashakthi also had plans to set up outdoor units, post production units as well as mini theatres in towns in Kerala. Upon the influence of Janashakthi, the party started Yugashakthi in Tamil Nadu Navashakthi in Karnataka, under the chairmanship of Jayapala Menon.

The spectacular opening shot, a slow pan right over a wall in a living room set to a voiceover conversation between a woman and a man, declares the film's overt intentions. Woman mildly complains to man (presumably her lover) about his tardiness in writing to her, her loneliness in a city far away from home (it is established soon enough that she lives and works in Bangalore) . Shot comes to rest on the woman's face.

Quoting from Ratheesh Radhakrishnan's essay: "The film begins (...) with a conversation between the couple in the background. Once the slow-moving tightly framed camera rests on Shari, it cuts a close-up on Gopi. To Gopi, who is now looking straight at the camera, Shari poses a question on behalf of the spectator: ‘Can the world be changed with murder?’ Dispensing with realism, the film is shot in a series of frontal shots as characters either ask questions or proclaim revolutionary ideals to the camera, producing an alienated spectator. With a clear pedagogic intent, the film does not attempt to locate itself either within a cultural frame or realism/melodrama debate." (p. 8)

The use of the 'Chingari koi bhadke' song from the Rajesh Khanna melodrama Amar Prem has been a cause for debate. As the melancholic song - translating as 'If a spark causes a fire, the monsoon will put it out, but what if the monsoon itself creates a fire?' - plays slowly in the background, Shari and Gopi discuss the present and the future. Gopi says that marriage is not for him. While Radhakrishnan says, perhaps correctly, that the song represents youth culture, more likely this reference - (with the several other visual and sound references to the urban popular (the Amul milk can label, the Sholay poster) - might more likely be the influence of Sen's early Calcutta films, and thence Godard. The song's spark/water metaphor for Shari and Gopi's situation is also somewhat obvious.

"Cinema is a recurring presence in the film. (...) An amateurish rendering of the song ‘Chingaari koi bhadke . . . ’ from the Hindi film Amar Prem (https://indiancine.ma/OFT/info) (d.

"It is erroneous to think of Kabanee as a politically radical film though the period of Naxalite politics forms its background. Backer himself suggested that it is a film about Shari and not about Gopi, the revolutionary. The film successfully stages a pedagogic intervention by making Shari its protagonist, right from the first sequence where Shari vocalizes a question on behalf of the spectator. In another sequence, Gopi is seen looking at a mirror and saying that he hasn’t seen himself for a long time. Shari enters the frame of the mirror to complete the circle of looking and ingrain the spectator into his field of vision, with Gopi now looking at Shari’s reflection instead of his own. The film is more or less devoid of moments where the looks of the characters can be worked into an aesthetic of realism. The film’s central concern is a flattened out world of desire where the connection between individuals can only be built through static frontal shots and addresses. The space-time co-ordinates of the diegetic world become legible only through the affective intervention of the politically radical viewer via the character of Shari." (Radhakrishnan 2013:9)
