Kajroo and her family live a tough existence in rural Rajisthan. When a circus sets up in a nearby town, she goes with the children across the desert to see the spectacle.

Kajro (Tannishtha Chatterjee) and Jethu (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) are investing their life in fulfilling the eternal Indian dream of educating their children Ghumroo (Virendra Singh Rathod) and Panni (Suhani Oza). Kajro, as the resilient mother, in the face of adversity inculcates great values in her children; While Jethu as the mute patriarch of the family suffers the day-to-day heartbreaks in silence. Set in the present day deserts of barren Rajasthan, the storyline progresses about the daily trials and tribulations of this family and at a larger level depicts the aspirations of rural India. Where aspirations have arrived at every doorstep but the means are still far behind. In the backdrop of the State elections, a Circus has come to a nearby town that maybe Panni and Ghumroo's only escapade to a fantasy world without any heartbreak. A flag on the door could be the key to this escape. But would Jethu and Kajro find it so easy to see a small dream of their children come true or would they themselves become puppets in the circus of life. Be a part of this cinematic journey which shows a circus at every nook and corner of living and existence.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
