Biography from TheMovieDB

The recognition as a renowned Marathi actor, Prasad Oak, is something that I used to dream of. It has been more than two decades now when I started my struggle as an actor in the Marathi industry. I am a true Puneite, and the first few years in Mumbai were full of tuffle, hardships and sleepless nights; but diligence and extreme passion towards my goal never let me give up. Today, when I look back to what I have achieved through all these years, I see an experience of more than 29 Marathi plays, over 74 daily soaps, and around 93 Marathi & Hindi films tapping my back! Although sounds quite unbelievable to me now, this is what the past more than 20 years has given me in this industry. Adhantar, Naandi, Ranangan, Bechki Wada Chirebandi, and many other plays strengthened me as an actor; whereas Bandini, Damini, Wadalvaat Pimpal Paan and Avaghachi Sansar were crucial in building up an efficient daily soap artist. After a stable career at theatre, television and silver screen, Zee Marathi's celebrity singing reality show turned out to be a milestone for me. I won the show title to become the first-ever Anijkyatara, and after that, Zee Marathi's first-ever brand ambassador. And then, there was no look back!

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.
