Synopsis

Gadadhar Chattopadhyaya is an Indian Hindu mystic and religious leader who lives in 19th-century Bengal. Gadadhar approaches his religious life through the path of devotion to the Goddess Kali, and by observance of various elements from Tantra, Vaishnav Bhakti, and Advaita Vedanta, as well as experiences with Christianity and Islam. After earnest practice of various religious traditions, he holds that the world's religions represented "so many paths to reach one and the same goal". His followers come to regard him as an avatara, or divine incarnation, as do some of the prominent Hindu scholars of his day.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
