When poor, naive and simple-minded Raja finds out that his sister, Nikki, is in love with wealthy Vijay, the only son of widower Din Dayal, he informs his widowed father, Boota, and they propose marriage but are humiliated. Raja then re-locates to Delhi so that he can accumulate enough wealth in order to get his sister married. Shortly thereafter Boota and Nikki receive a money order and a letter from him. It is this news that will result in Boota's sudden death, Nikki will be abducted, while Raja will be held captive, leaving Din Dayal free to get Vijay married to wealthy Seema, the daughter of Colonel Kruparam Kapoor.
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.
