Molshri and Shivang are best friends and members of a college street-theater group. While Molshri is a social justice warrior, always on the lookout to 'fix society', Shivang is secretly gay and struggles with his sexuality. The story begins when they are expelled from college for robbing the canteen. They beg, plead, and cry to get a second chance. Moved by their tears, the Dean offers them another chance. They need to do a community service project and help 5 children from an impoverished slum get educated. Thus begins a journey that changes their lives for ever. Nukkad Naatak makes a statement about what it means to be young in India. Through Molshri we see a young person's POV of Indian social issues while through Shivang we explore the life of a gay man in a conservative society.
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.
