The Darjeeling Limited
Three estranged brothers board a chaotic Indian train, following a rigid itinerary that forces them to confront grief, family secrets, and their own divergent paths toward redemption.
“I want us to be brothers again, like we used to be.”
Synopsis
Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year embark on a train journey across India with the goal of reconnecting and rediscovering their bond as brothers. Their self-described "spiritual quest," however, quickly takes an unexpected turn, derailed by a series of events involving over-the-counter painkillers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray.

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.5× 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).
