Storyline

Dandupalayam is a visceral look at crime, poverty, and retribution. It examines how desperation breeds brutality and how society often ignores the roots of evil until it's too late. Told through the eyes of both police and criminals, the film portrays the consequences of unchecked violence in forgotten corners of rural India.
