After Everything You Have Ever Seen Of Heroes, There's ...

James, who comes to Mumbai seeking a successful life, and ends up working as a bouncer at a club there, and fighting gangsters. He then encounters the brother of an MP who is always causing crime. James has a little fight in club which cause causes a huge conflict between the two, this also gets his brother and MP Shanthi Narayana involved. This conflict then causes death of James's friend, whom he lives with, Babloo, and because of this James is set on revenge.

A long distance train hurtles through its route from Goa to Bombay. After resuming from a scheduled stop, a group of young men board the train, walk through the boogies, and molest a married woman who is seated next to her husband. A passenger speaks up against the hoodlums, an argument, followed by fisticuffs ensues, with the young man, with this boxing skills, managing to subdue the hoodlums. After the train stops he makes a report to the local police, only to be mocked at. His name is James and he is come to Bombay to look for work. He finds employment at a nightclub with the help of his friend, Babloo, as a Bouncer. One night he comes to the rescue of an attractive young woman named Nisha, who is molested by a male named Radhey Narayan. James does stop Radhey from molesting Nisha, but ends up losing his job. Nisha befriends him, introduces him to her DCP dad, Vijay Singh Rawat, who is grateful to James for coming to his daughter's rescue. What James does not know is that he is just opened up a Pandora's box as Radhey is none other than the only brother of the State Chief Politician, Shankar Narayan, and as the DCP puts it "The police are employed by the Government, and Shankar owns the Government". Looks like it is the end of the road for James, as he has taken on more than he can handle, as neither Shankar nor Radhey will rest until he is killed.

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.

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.
