Nineteen Twenty One (1988)

The film centers on two characters: Unni Krishnan (Suresh Gopi), a hardcore nationalist revolutionary from a family of Hindu landowners, and bullock cart driver Khader (Mammootty), a retired corporal and World War I veteran. Both men enlist in the army of Variyan Kunnathu Kunjahammed Haji (T. G. Ravi), a well-known 1921 Uprising leader. A range of personalities that symbolize the Malabar society of the 1920s are gradually introduced throughout the plot. The 1921 Uprising, the horrors done by the British troops throughout the events, and the eventual dissolution of the rebel unity and organization are all topics that are covered in the movie.
