Synopsis

Chanthu, a poor orphan, and Aromal are cousins belonging to the Chekavar clan, a warrior group that offers its services as duelists to resolve conflicts among the wealthy and influential. Aromal, envious of Chanthu's greater skill, mistreats him, prompting Chanthu to leave and seek refuge with Aringodar, a rival Chekavar, as his apprentice. When two sons of a local landlord engage in a property dispute and hire Aromal and Aringodar to settle it through a duel, Chanthu must choose between his allegiance to his uncle, who raised him, and Aringodar, who gave him shelter and training.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
