Chappa → Chappo (film) – In almost all cited sources, the movie name is mentioned as Chappo, not Chappa; see Ref # [1], [3][1] and [4][2] even at IMDb[3] movie name is Chappo, not Chappa.103.172.166.164 (talk) 18:05, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Title of the film

There was a previous request to move the article from "Chappa" to "Chappo (film)" due to incorrect spelling used by some web sources like IMDB. "Chappa" refers to a historical system in Kochi port where managers would toss a metal token, known as a chappa in Malayalam, to the crowd waiting for employment. Only those who received a chappa would be given the opportunity to work. There is no word "Chappo" in Malayalam. The correct spelling of the film title can be verified on a google book search. Therefore, I am correcting the name and citing these reliable book sources instead of web sources, including IMDB, which clearly have the spelling wrong.
