Biography from TheMovieDB

Prithviraj Sukumaran (born October 16, 1982) is a versatile Indian actor, director, producer, and playback singer primarily active in Malayalam cinema, with notable contributions to Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu films. His extensive career spans over 100 films, earning him accolades such as a National Film Award, three Kerala State Film Awards, a Tamil Nadu State Film Award, and a South Filmfare Award.  Prithviraj marked his acting debut with the commercially successful Nandanam (2002) and rose to prominence as a leading Malayalam actor with Classmates (2006), the highest-grossing Malayalam film that year. His role in Vaasthavam earned him the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor, making him the youngest recipient at 24. Exploring diverse roles, he portrayed a musician in the Tamil romantic comedy Mozhi (2007) and delved into playback singing with Puthiya Mukham (2009). He secured his second Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor for his performances in the medical drama Ayalum Njanum Thammil and the biographical film Celluloid.  In 2010, Prithviraj joined August Cinema, co-producing and headlining Urumi and Indian Rupee (both 2011). The latter won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Malayalam and the Kerala State Film Award for Best Film. He earned the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Villain for Kaaviya Thalaivan (2014) and starred in impactful films like Ennu Ninte Moideen (2015) and Ezra (2017). After parting ways with August Cinema in 2017, he independently launched Prithviraj Productions, which backed 9 (2019). Making his directorial debut with Lucifer (2019), the film became the highest-grossing Malayalam film until June 2023. Subsequently, he featured in notable films such as Driving License (2019), Ayyappanum Koshiyum (2020), Jana Gana Mana (2022), Kaduva (2022), and Prashanth Neel’s Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (2023) alongside Prabhas.

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.
