Synopsis

Raju, a rich man gets along even with the poor unlike his father. He falls in love with Parvathi, a poor girl but is forced to marry Vimala because of his father. Director duo Krishnan–Panju’s Midas touch made this remake of the 1966 Bengali film “Uttar Purush” a tremendous success in Tamil. Often considered as one of Sivaji Ganesan’s all-time greats, this drama is poignant account of the tragedies that befall a young heir following an act of atrocity.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
