Lokabandhoo depicts the life story of the great luminary of Assam, Dr Bhubaneswar Barooah, who during the 1930s, became a a living legend by virtrue of his untiring and unflinching devotion to the people of the state.
A well-known physician, freedom fighter, and a true Gandhian of Assam,India. He had sacrificed his life in the name of human race by conferring medical help and a non-violence fight for the freedom for India against the British colonialism during the period 1930-1947. This film contains the history of this maestro from 1930 to 1955. Without taking part in the active political arena, he spent his remaining life after the independence of India by only giving service to the human race by pertaining educational encouragement, service related to health and in the field of agriculture. He even donated instead of taking fees to the poor section of the society. The film has been made based on such a personality to remind the today's chaotic society the actual behaviour and duty of a Person towards the society. Therefore he was well-known as ' Lokabandhoo' i.e the friend of the people.

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.
