Sarbojaya's relationship with her husband strains due to his gambling and drinking habits. Things turn worse when she finds out about his mounting loans.

Sarbajaya is a family drama that revolves around the married life of our main protagonist Sarbajaya and her husband Shambhu, their families and the ups and downs that they face. The movie paces with the underlying issues of the society of the 70s in rural Bengal, at the turn of development and globalization. Sharbajaya finds herself in a series of problems and is faced with tough choices when she finds out that her husband has loaned some money from rich landlords, and that too by lying. Situations take a turn for the worse when she asks everyone for help, but no one can offer any help given their financial conditions and the ego and pride and the very nature of Shambhu. On top of it all, she is expecting and both families are shocked to find out that Shambhu, in a fit of rage, strangled her in the middle of the night and has gone off on a rampage. The movie ends on a happy note as Shambhu is being taken away by the police, but he makes up with Sharbajaya who wakes up from her state of shock, only to reconcile with him now that he has realized his mistakes.

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.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
