KADAMA
KADAMA examines the meaning of our duty toward our spouses and when that loyalty might shift in favor of a precious grandchild.
Padma’s husband Dileep dies in strange circumstances, making it difficult to label it as an accident, suicide or homicide. As a retired Criminal Psychologist, Padma is delighted. that that Detective Rhodes, a student of hers from the past, has been assigned to question her. She is sure she can outwit him.
But when her tactics fail, Prema begs Rhodes to arrest her and let her granddaughter go. In a surprising move, the Detective, convinced that both were physically abused by Dileep, lets them go.
In the last scene, we watch Rhodes contemplate the potential consequences of his unorthodox action on his professional and personal lives. The possibility remains that police could arrest Prema and her granddaughter again and try them for the murder. Unless they flee to India.
