On Manorama
Rathish Ambat`s directorial debut is one which tells the tale of Kammaran Nambiar (Dileep), who is the senior most member of the Indian Liberation Party (ILP). The movie, scripted by actor Murali Gopi spans different periods of time, starting from the early forties. The movie can`t be branded to a genre as it has politics, contemporary issues, history and elements of a thriller. Starting off on a political note, the movie moves on to the turfs of history and cinema.

The Indian Express
Malayalam actor Dileeps Kammara Sambhavam feels like an effort to bring an equilibrium to the present atmosphere in the Indian film industry, where political films, especially biopics on some iconic leaders, have been the flavour of the season. The directorial debut of ad filmmaker Rathish Ambat takes a metaphysical view of history and its role in establishing legacies and making legends.

Kerala Box Office Updates
Kammara is nor true history neither a straightforward and simple story, but the important thing to understand is the concept of fabricated history before watching Kammara Sambhavam. The concept that the whole truth was never recorded in history and that it was often mixed with lies to help people in power to concrete their position and spread their propaganda. The plot of the movie revolves around Kammaran Nambiar, his true story and the story that spread. It is placed in both the pre-independence era and the present and has many legendary freedom fighters intervened in the screenplay.

Deccan Chronicle
Directed by Rathish Ambat, this could be termed as historical-fiction. It is a satire of politics, cinema and history obviously. The film that spans across multiple time periods discusses how history is made. But how do people come to trust it? What if history is wrong and we`ve been lied to?

Film Companion
Rathish Ambats Kammara Sambhavam (Kammaras Event, a play on the title of the Kalidasa epic) begins and ends with a quote attributed to Napolon: History is a set of lies agreed upon. Napolon certainly popularised this adage, though he denied coining it but in the context of this film, the (intended?) misattribution may be entirely appropriate. The story is about how history is nothing but a series of lies, and how these lies, over time, become calcified as truth. It sounds like a thesis topic for a philosophy major, but the film, slyly written by Murali Gopy, is pretty entertaining even if it takes a while to get going, and a longer while for the whole picture to come together in our heads.

Lensmen Reviews
The script of Kammara Sambhavam tries to be a spoof and satire of two things; the current political picture and the glorification or distortion of history in based on true story movies. Its actually a very interesting idea to create a film. But some of the political statements made by this movie are annoying because it feels like a deliberate attempt to feed in certain thoughts in the format of a satire.
