Synopsis

A young boy, the son of a poor "rag-and-bone" man, dreams of drawing superheroes but takes the wrong approach by stealing a comic book from the kind owner of a small Indian provision ("mama") shop. When their paths cross again by fate, both characters come to understand something far more significant.

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.

Craft leads on file
