A short film based on the sense and discourse between life and death.

Overview from TheMovieDB

Mrinal is suffering from a serious illness. Her husband Rudra is a writer. Mrinal's cousin Kamal takes care of Mrinal. Rudra’s friend doctor visits Mrinal for regular checkups. Mrinal often looks at her thin, pale white face in the mirror. In Mrinal's consciousness, thoughts of beauty, thoughts of God, thoughts of death and finally the urge to relieve her pain parallel to nature comes randomly. Rudra loves Mrinal. Mrinal and Rudra do not have marital discord but conflicts as Rudra comes closure with Kamal. But his love for Mrinal is also deep. The doctor remains disinterested after seeing Rudra and Kamal's intimate moment. And Kamal falls in love with Rudra, even physically, but discovers herself through Mrinal's death and leaves home. Rudra lies alone. The main character of the film is basically a sense between life and death. This sense includes dreams, beauty, envy, love, lust and the desire to dissolve into the ethereal form of nature.

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.
