Kendasampige (transl. Golden champaca) is a 2015 Indian Kannada-language crime 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.
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.[1][2][3][4]
