Swathi Family Entertainer presents here, the first ever Tamil comedy play in the "sitcom" format, directed by Naga of Marmadesam fame. The era of Min Bimbangal in Tamil Television (1990 - 2005) was a golden era of riveting, taut, intelligent, engaging and meaningful serials, all lush with life. The oeuvre of Min Bimbangal encompassed a broad range of genres, including sitcoms, soaps, homegrown thrillers and chat shows; every one of them being trend setters par excellence. The home being a Moral Instruction Class of his dominating mother, Mr. Ramany is a potential candidate for the couch. His dream was to flee to the US of A like a normal urban Indian, but his family had other plans; to shackle his ankle, as they say in Tamil, to Ms. Ramany. The influence of the wanna-be generations on one side and the overdose of Sai Baba bhajans on the other, she is equally, a candidate for the couch.
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.
