The story of ‘Pangira’ is all about how rapidly Indian villages have changed, over a period of time. Old rural hospitality and contented, peaceful village life – is now a History! Right from natural resources to local politics – ‘Indian village’ has changed and IS still changing from every aspect. Miss-use …of drinking and farming water, un-imaginable destruction of natural resources by cutting down trees in and around villages is normal. Development is happening, but with ‘Jilha Parishads’ and ‘Panchayat Samitees’, politics and courruption has become integral part of the system. At the end, a farmer, a common man, still does not get the price he deserves for his hard work.
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.
