A painter (Kamal Addaraarachchi) has a girl that calls him uncle. She asks for his consent to marry a rich boy. He opposes by saying rich men only care about money. Then he relates his past to the girl. Then the story moves to a flashback. The painter has had a relationship with a girl from a rich family during his youth. He meets her in an art gallery and then gradually develops a relationship which culminates in making her pregnant. Then she requests him to meet her parents and she lies to them that he is a wealthy and rich person. In disgust, he leaves her. Then, after a long time, he finds out that she had lied to marry him. In other words, to get her parents' consent. He ultimately finds that the boy in the story is his son and his fiancée had died at the time of delivery. At the end of the story he commits suicide. At the end of the film the girl finds the painter dead on the floor.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
