Veena Nandakumar, an Indian actress prominent in Malayalam cinema, marked her debut in the 2017 Malayalam film "Kadamkatha," directed by Senthil Raj. Unfortunately, the film faced box office failure, hindering her initial recognition. Her entry into Tamil cinema occurred with "Thodraa," portraying Divya, a girl from a wealthy family who elopes with a man from a lower caste. Despite the film's reception, Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle praised her performance as "decent." However, Veena Nandakumar gained widespread attention with her breakthrough role in the 2019 Malayalam romantic drama "Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha," where she portrayed the character Rincy. Described as "very restrained" by Veena herself, Anna Mathews of Times of India lauded her for playing the role with "just the right amount of restraint." In 2020, she took on supporting roles, playing Annie in the family drama "Kozhipporu" and Haritha in the black comedy psychological thriller "Love." Her upcoming film is "Nadikar Thilakam" and web series "Pharma".
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.
