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]
Ravindra is a middle class attendant who works in a company headed by Shakuntala Shetty. Shakuntala's daughter Gowri and Ravindra fall in love with each other and begin dating. 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 Ravindra and Gowri's relationship. 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, where they sold the drugs to another party for ₹40 crore and secretly hidden the money in a safe place. A drunk Govindaraju made nasty comments on Suryakanth, who secretly heard the recording. Govindaraju learnt that Suryakanth heard his conversation and escaped out of fear. Suryakanth learnt that the money was missing, where he told Narayanaswamy and Chandrashekhar to capture Govindaraju and bring the money. Govindaraju was found 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, while Gowri gets saved through a written statement by Suryakanth. Gowri gets 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 to Ravindra 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. It is actually revealed that the money (which was hidden by Suryakanth) was actually stolen by a cheater named Haav Rani, [lower-alpha 1] who is now happily settled and living a rich life in Mumbai.
