Synopsis

Don, a ruthless gangster, is killed during a scuffle with the police. Only DSP D'Silva is aware of the incident, and he recruits Vijay, who closely resembles Don, to take his place and infiltrate the gang. D'Silva aims to dismantle the entire criminal organization, but when he dies during a raid, the secret that Vijay is not the real Don is also lost with him.

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.
