Imanvi is a dynamic presence in the world of entertainment, known for her multifaceted talents as an actor, dancer, choreographer, and content creator. With a vast following across her social media platforms, she captivates audiences with her diverse skills and creative vision.  Imanvi is from Los Angeles but was born in India and her family relocated to California when she was young. Matrubhimi reports that she was born on October 20, 1995, in Delhi. She acted in the short film Being Sa-rah, according to her IMDb, which details the experience of an immigrant. She played the titular character in the film.  Formerly known as Iman, she adopted the name Imanvi in honor of her late mother, symbolizing a deep connection to her roots and personal journey. From a young age, Imanvi was inspired by the power of storytelling through the arts. Her initial passion for dance has evolved into a rich and varied career, with training in both semi-classical Indian dance forms-such as Kathak and Bharatanatyam-and more contemporary styles like Bhangra, Bollywood, hip hop, and jazz.  Iman Esmail pursued her passion for dancing throughout her education, eventually joining a local dance academy in America. Excelling in various dance styles, she began participating in numerous dance competitions.  Her innovative approach to dance has led her to create successful fusion workshops that blend traditional Indian dance with hip hop, drawing enthusiastic crowds and acclaim. Imanvi's artistry is set to reach new heights with her upcoming feature film debut, where she'll star opposite the acclaimed Indian actor Prabhas in a film directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. As she embarks on this exciting new chapter, Imanvi remains dedicated to spreading light and love through her storytelling and creative expression.

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.
