SYNOPSIS

Achchannaih and his wife live with their widowed daughter-in-law Venkatalaxmi and grand-daughter Rajalaxmi in a traditional society. Achchannaiah learns from a friend that a boy in a distant village claims that he was the son of Acchanniah in his previous birth. Achannaiah dismisses the information as baseless, but sets out to discover the truth and brings the boy home, setting in motion a chain of events that alter the lives of those around him and pitting three generations of women and their values against each other.

Based in Dr S.L. Bairappa's novel with the same name, "In the Shadow of the Dog” refers to the dog from the Mahabharata, symbolically representing an individual’s good deeds and bad acts.
