Synopsis

Basant, the educated son of a landlord, who disguises himself as a poor farmer to investigate corruption among his father’s tenants and, in the process, falls in love with the kind Kamla. Their budding romance is shattered when his true identity is revealed, forcing him to leave the village misunderstood. Soon after, a murder occurs, leading to Kamla's father being wrongly imprisoned. Years later, as Kamla raises an orphaned child, she and Basant find their lives dangerously intertwined once more by the manipulative villain Gangoo, forcing them to risk everything to uncover the truth and seek justice amidst the tragedy and betrayal.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
