what assumptions on the title Keedamo (insect) indicates that this movie can be misleading as far as it goes. Chances are one will assume that the title is alluding to one of the villainous elements in the film. But, as it turns out, it’s a term used to describe the heroine of Radhika Balan (Rajisha Vijayan), a cybersecurity expert, a group of dangerous adversaries. And, then you start to see the word in a new light and context.
Radhika, who heads a start-up, is an expert in her work, but ethics are supreme to her. His introduction scene is meant to underline this. A wealthy client has come up with a demand to spy on his wife’s private communications in order to bolster his divorce case. Despite the money on offer, which is huge for a budding start-up, he refused to take the job. Nevertheless, this resolve is shattered when he is confronted by a bunch of goons who will go to any lengths to get him and his father Balan (Srinivasan), a retired lawyer, in trouble.

In fact, it is not necessarily so; The unlimited power that surveillance equipment possesses over spies is clearly demonstrated.
Keeping the moral part aside, the film can positively be viewed as a brave fight of a woman, using her own equipment, against a group of thugs who infiltrate her personal space. But, after getting high at the halfway point, when she resumes the fight, the script doesn’t take it any further, choosing to travel along the normal projected path. It retains that relationship with cyber security and surveillance only till the last point.
