Dandupalya 2 (or simply 2) is a 2017 Indian Kannada-language crime thriller directed by Srinivas Raju and produced by Venkat.

The film opened to mixed reviews from audience and critics upon the release and went on to become a box-office hit at both Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

An Indian Express investigative journalist Abhivyakti "Abhi" starts re-investigating the entire case, insisting that there had been no circumstantial evidence, no signs of fingerprints, no semen tests made to confirm the rape and murders.

She starts with the local jewellery maker, who reveals that stolen ornaments were remade with him and produced as false evidence in the court and that the witness from Singapore was also fake.

She finds various secrets and confidential information, including not lodging an FIR and taking away the gang for 40 days torturing them.

When the Dandupalya serial killings, thefts and gang-rapes occur, there is considerable pressure on the Inspector for his failure to keep crimes in check though forces were increased.
