Adi Lokesh

Adi Lokesh is an Indian Kannada film actor. He is mainly known for his angry young man roles in Kannada movies. The actor was recently seen in the reality show Bigg Boss Kannada. Adi Lokesh is the son of late actor Mysore Lokesh. His father was a famous Kannada actor who had worked in more than 170 movies. He was best known for ‘Manasa Sarovara’ released in 1982 and ‘Bandhana’ of 1984. Adi has a sibling named Pavitra Lokesh, who is one of the talented actresses in Kannada films. Pavitra is known for her performance in the 2008 Kannada movie ‘Satya in Love’. Adi made his entry into movies with the super hit film Jogi, in which he played the role of Bidda who betrays his mentor. He continued playing bad boy characters. He has done many movies in which he has troubled his heroines. In the movie ‘Vamshi’, he had troubled Meera Jasmine. A few years ago a complaint was filed on the actor saying that he had cheated on a lady. This was not the first time that this actor was involved in a controversy.  At the start of his career, actress Aruna who had played the role of an item girl in ‘ Mohini’ had said that she had been married to Adi for the past five years. However, the actor had denied all these rumours and said that these are all a conspiracy against him by his haters and he just wants to concentrate on his career. In 2014, when the actor had participated in Bigg Boss Kannada he was seen in an affair with actress Neethu Shetty. The two fell in love with each other during the show. The love affair had become one of the high points of that season.

The Search Form


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.
