In 2016, Ritu Kaushik, a homemaker from the fringes of New Delhi, started selling bags on Flipkart under her brand name Ritupal Collection.Born and raised in a small village in Sonipat (Haryana), Ritu had to discontinue her studies at the age of 16. A year later, she was married off under familial pressure. Newlywed Ritu began cattle rearing and farming and invested all her time in her family. As her children grew up, she felt a need to create an identity for herself. She waited 15 years to finish her education. Ritu single-mindedly negotiated the patriarchal mind-sets of those around her in order to set up her own business.
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.
