Conqueror of Kadaram) is a 2019 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film[2] directed by Rajesh M. Selva and produced by Kamal Haasan.

[citation needed] Dr. Vasu Rajagopalan arrives in Kuala Lumpur with his pregnant wife Aatirah and works at a hospital, where a comatose robber has been admitted.

After a botched murder attempt on the robber's life by two hitmen, Vasu contacts the RMP, which assigns Inspector Kalpana Rangaswamy to the case.

Kalpana learns about the robber's identity called KK, an ex-army commando, who is wanted for burglary and contraband dealing.

Kalpana's rival officer Vincent Rajadurai, who is notorious for brutal ways of solving crimes, is also on the heels of KK's case.

Vincent had recorded the event on a spy camera and had arranged for KK's boss Anand Makaio to cover their tracks.

Makaio had sent KK to the industrialist's office in the name of retrieving his case files, but is actually a trap set by Vincent who had to have someone framed for the murder.

KK knocks Vincent and acquires the pen drive containing the footage of the assassination and plants it on Vasu, who has been captured by Catherine, and silently escapes.

Aatirah is shown to have narrowly avoided a miscarriage, where she gives birth to a healthy daughter and has an emotional reunion with Vasu.
