Synopsis

Set in Nallore, a small town in the Thoothukudi District, the story follows Sub-Inspector Durai Singam, a courageous and fair-minded policeman who returns to his hometown primarily to honor his father's wish. Durai Singam resolves disputes in his town with patience and wisdom, using force only when necessary. Kavya, a city girl visiting Nallore for vacation, develops feelings for Durai Singam. Erimalai, Durai Singam's clumsy but loyal colleague and friend, frequently accompanies 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.

Box Office

2010 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.4× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
