Hero - Bhakti Hi Shakti Hai is a live-action superhero TV series that airs in India. The show first aired on Hungama TV on 30 May 2005 on UTV's Kids channel Hungama TV. It was then aired on Jetix. The show is produced by Zarina Mehta, Ronnie Screwvala and Deven Khote. "Hero has strong emotional appeal and Indian values, which along with the fantasy and comedy elements should make a great viewing experience for kids. Our research shows that kids enjoy the theme of ‘Good winning over evil’ and the struggle that follows", says Hungama TV head of programming Zarina Mehta. Created by Arif Ali of UTV and directed by Waseem Sabir, the series stars Sumeet Pathak as Hero. Viewers also got an opportunity to be a ‘Hero’ by participating in the ‘Be A Hero Contest’ by watching the show. The winner of the contest will get a chance to star in an episode of Hero.
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.
