Benche Thakar Gaan is set in an old age home where Paromita, a young gerontologist lands up leaving a lucrative career as a psychiatrist in the city. In this home, she faces her boss Dr. Partho Sinha, a strict disciplinarian, who has built this home for all those who can afford to live well but are not able to live either with their families or alone due to certain circumstances. According to Dr. Sinha, the inmates are here to spend the sunset years of their lives in peacebut Paromita feels otherwise, she believes there is still a lot to live for in the sunset years too. To Paromita, even the seniors have a right to enjoy, and peace can only come when the mind is happy - - An old age home is not where you are thrown out, but it can be a home where new bonds can be forged even in later years of life. Benche Thakar Gaan or song of life is a positive look at the age which to us is just a number, and its all in the mind.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
