Dandupalya is an Indian crime thriller film franchise created by Srinivas Raju and is based on a real gang named Dandupalya. The franchise consists of four Kannada-language films and one Telugu-language spin-off film.

Films[edit]

The trilogy was directed by Srinivas Raju.[1][2] The second and third films were shot simultaneously.[3] The third film was considered the conclusion of the series.[4] However, a fourth film was made with Raju and Pooja Gandhi distancing themselves from the film.[5] Raju brought back several characters from the trilogy in the Telugu-language film Thaggedele (2022).[6]
