Rajaditya belongs to that class of people who have a very deep-rooted ancestral legacy in North Kolkata. He resides at one part of an edifice which was probably built by his grandfather or greatgrandfather. His uncle resides at the other end of the building. He lost his parents long ago. His only sibling Jaga is mentally unsound. He has taken refuge at a street footpath. Hence the balcony, the courtyard yard, the staircase, the rooms and the roof constitute the empire of Rajaditya alone. He builds a Museum of Broken Relationships in his house. The museum becomes home to objects with varying histories ranging from the Partition, religion, citizenship and murder. His Uncle's vision of smashing the old property and selling it off to real-estate buyers confronts Rajaditya with choices between dreams and reality. There is a bridge between them. Would he reconcile with his uncle? Or submit to death

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.
