Dandupalya (Kannada: ದಂಡುಪಾಳ್ಯ) is a 2012 Indian Kannada-language crime film, starring Pooja Gandhi and Raghu Mukherjee in the leading roles. The plot is based on the real-life exploits of a notorious gang named 'Dandupalya'. The film was directed by Srinivas Raju and produced by Girish and Prashanth under the Apple Blossom Creations banner. The film was later dubbed in Telugu as Dandupalyam and in Tamil as Karimedu and in Malayalam as Kuruthikalam. It was a critical and commercial success in Karnataka and Andra Pradesh/Telangana, and became one of the highest-grossing films of 2012, being shown for more than 100 days in multiple centres.
The story revolves around Lakshmi (Pooja Gandhi), leader of the gang, who spots houses where women are alone. She goes to the house asking for water. When the women go inside, the entire gang led by Krishna (Makarand Deshpande) and followed by Hanuma (Ravi Kale), Thimma (Jaidev), Muniya (Karisubbu) and others enter the house and kill women. Krishna takes thrill in slitting the throats as he is fond of the noise that comes out from the throat when blood oozes out. Then they loot the house and escape. They are all shabbily dressed, rough and tough. Inspector Chalapathi (P. Ravishankar) takes up the challenge of arresting them. Thimma was carrying stollen Temple ornaments. He was rejected by the jewellerian, while getting back trapped by Ravi shankar and all of them would be arrested by police and submits to the court.
"According to the dictionary, nudity means that you are not covered with a single item of clothing from head to toe. But in this scene, I have worn a sari and I am trying to cover my body, except for my back".
