Plot

edit

Kenda is an absurdist crime and political satire about the disenchanted youth of Bengaluru. Kenda centers on a young man who works in a foundry in a busy metropolis. It unflinchingly portrays how the degradation of state machinery threatens social stability and harmony. The movie explores disorganised crime through the eyes of lower echelon gangsters with big dreams. The protagonist takes us through a web of crime and politics while he struggles to come to terms with his own deep and dark desires.[4]
