Kendasampige is a 2015 Indian Kannada-language thriller film directed by Duniya Soori from a story written by Surendranath and produced by Parimala Film Factory. The film stars Vikky Varun and Manvita Kamath, Rajesh Nataranga, Prakash Belawadi and Chandrika. The film is the sequel to forthcoming film Kaage Bangara and also exposes the nexus between the latter and influential persons. V. Harikrishna composed the soundtrack and background score, while the cinematography and editing were handled by Satya Hegde and Deepu. S. Kumar.[1][2]
Kendasampigewas released on 11 September 2015 to positive reviews from critics who praised its screenwriting and bringing forth a dirty web of drug trade, mafia, dirty cops and a questionable judicial system. The film became a commercial success at the box office. Duniya Soori had initially announced that the film will have a prequel titled Kaage Bangara and a sequel titled Black Magic, but Kaage Bangara was stalled owing to demonetization since the director felt that the storyline was no more relevant after issue of new currency notes. However, Soori revived Kaage Bangara after the 2020 film Popcorn Monkey Tiger, which served as a link between Kendasampige and Kaage Bangara.[3][4][5][6][7]
Plot
Ravindra is a middle class attendant who works in a company headed by Shakuntala Shetty. Circumstance arises as Shakuntala's daughter Gowri gets attracted to Ravindra, who reciprocates her feelings. However, Ravindra is booked in a drug case where he unknowingly kills SI Govindaraju and escapes. While on the run, Ravindra informs Gowri about the incident, where she not only helps Ravindra with money but also accompanies him through the journey.
Meanwhile, ACP S. Purandar begins an investigation against Ravindra, where he finds that the "deceased" Govindaraju is actually a goon called Coffee Appaiah. Purandar tracks down Appaiah and learns that Appaiah had faked himself as Govindaraju and also faked his death under the orders of DCP Suryakanth and Shakuntala Shetty to trap Ravindra as Shakuntala learnt about his love for Gowri. Ravindra and Gowri move to many cities day by day, where they are chased by two dirty cops named Narayanaswamy and Chandrashekhar, who are working for Suryakanth, after they witness the murder of the real Govindaraju.
Purandar investigates the matter, where he learns that Suryakanth, Govindaraju, Narayanaswamy and Chandrashekhar orchestrated a drug raid in Mangalore and they had secretly hidden the drugs in a safe place. A drunk Govindaraju blabbered about his share of money, which was secretly heard by Suryakanth. Realizing that Suryakanth planned to kill him, Govindaraju escapes, but was found eight months later by Narayanaswamy and Chandrashekhar. Purandar realizes that Ravindra and Gowri will be killed after they become witness to Govindaraju's murder, where he secretly tracks them down. Purandar drags Ravindra and shoots him.
Gowri gets saved from the dirty cops, but is devastated about Ravindra's death and returns home. After the incident, Purandar reveals that he faked Ravindra's death and sent him to Mumbai after he revealed everything about Shakuntala's involvement to frame him in a drug case and Suryakanth's involvement to kill him and Gowri for witnessing Govindaraju's murder. At Mumbai, Ravindra works as a bar supplier, where he calls Gowri and reveals about his existence, much to Gowri's happiness.
