Maharaja
A humble Chennai barber storms the police precinct demanding the return of his stolen “Lakshmi,” forcing detectives to unravel whether he’s after a priceless artifact or a loved one before his vengeance spirals out of control.
Synopsis
A barber seeks revenge after his home is burglarized, cryptically informing the police that his "Lakshmi" has been taken, leaving them unsure whether it refers to a person or an object. They initially mock his request until they discover what he is truly looking for.

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.
