Umesh is accused of killing a newspaper editor. His wife and mother hire a reputed lawyer named Sangram Singh Sahni, who agrees to be the defense lawyer without charging them any fees. The case is going in Umesh's favor, until a young man named Jai Kumar, comes as an eye-witness and states that he has seen Umesh commit the murder from his balcony right opposite the venue of the murder. Umesh is convicted and sentenced to death. Umesh's sister, Sarita, finds out that Jai was paid to lie, and she approaches him to change his testimony. He refuses, but subsequently relents when he finds out the havoc he has caused in their lives. He approached Advocate Sahni, who attempts to do his best to get a new trial, in vain, though and Umesh is set to die within one week. Now Jai must come up with the person who really killed the Newspaper Editor, and the only clue he has is a photograph of the killer's shoes...
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.
