In this poignant drama set in the aftermath of India's decision to decriminalize same-sex relationships, Satya, a young man from a small town, falls in love with a successful businessman from Guwahati. But with homophobia still rampant in Assam, Satya's relationship with Amar comes to a sudden end, leaving him alone and struggling to cope. However, with the help of childhood friend Samir, Satya begins to rebuild his life and discovers that there may be hope for love and acceptance in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving. With powerful performances and stunning visuals, this film offers a touching exploration of love, identity, and community in modern-day India.
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.
