Prerna is the only daughter of the local school's headmaster. She gets to meet her childhood friend, Kumar, who is now one of the teachers at the same school. Prerna is attracted to Kumar, and admires his courage and determination to stand-up against the local and cruel zamindar, who had severely beaten-up Kumar's father several years ago. Soon both get married. Kumar is ambitious, and wants to become the head of this town. He organizes his campaign and successfully gets himself elected, not without creating some enemies. After this election, Kumar keeps busy with his new-found duties, but Prerna notices a change in him - as he is fast becoming the man he hated the most - the former zamindar.
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.
