The story centers around a character named Ram, a mischievous and cunning teenager who keeps the villagers on their toes with his antics. He steals fruit from trees, fish from ponds, and seems to get into constant trouble. Ram's brother, Shyam, works for the local zamindar (landlord) and has a domineering wife named Narayani. One day, Ram gets into a fight with the zamindar's son, which leads to Narayani taking a stand and refusing to speak to Shyam. Disappointed by this turn of events, he realizes his mistake when he loses the trust of his relatives and decides to leave the village, relinquishing all his property to his nephew, and move to his mama's house. What unfolds next is the heart of the story. It is likely to explore themes of family dynamics, social class, and the consequences of Ram's actions.

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.
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.
