Dandupalya 3 (or simply III)[2] is a 2018 Indian Kannada-language crime thriller film directed by Srinivas Raju and produced by Ram Talluri.[3] Based on the infamous dacoit gang from Dandupalya, the film is a sequel to the 2017 critically acclaimed film Dandupalya 2 and is third film in the franchise. The film stars Pooja Gandhi, continuing her role from the prequels and most of the principal cast including P. Ravishankar, Makarand Deshpande, Ravi Kale, Shruti, Petrol Prasanna and Sanjjanaa reprise their roles from the previous films.[4] The film's score and soundtrack is composed by Arjun Janya and cinematography by Venkat Prasad. The film is dubbed into Telugu language and is entitled Dandupalyam 3.[5] Much of the crew members have been retained for the film from the prequels apart from roping in Naveen Krishna, Tabla Nani, Ramesh and Gururaj Desai to pen the dialogues.[6] The film would mark the end of the franchise.[7]
Most parts of the film were shot simultaneously during the Part 2 filming,[8] while the second schedule of shooting was held from April 2017. Initially planned to release within a week after the Part 2 release, the film however, released on 16 March 2018.
The film opened to mixed reviews from the audience and critics upon the release in both Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, but earned good collection report from the 'B' and 'C' centres with almost packed houses across the states and emerged as a sleeper hit at box office.[9]
