Rajaram, youngest of three brothers, owns up to another's crime in order to fund his middle brother's education. He is shattered when he learns about the culprits behind his eldest brother's murder.
Vijay lives a poor lifestyle in the Southern part of India. As he is unable to secure any job for his livelihood he takes to petty crime such as picking peoples pockets and theft. As a result of this he becomes known to the police, who instead of arresting him ask him to go underground and seek out some criminal elements. Vijay does so, only to find out that he has been tricked by the police and ends up hating them. Word of this gets out and a gangster named Teja asks Vijay to join him, which Vijay accepts. Then when Teja finds out that Vijay is not a police informer nor a gangster of repute but a mere pick-pocket, he sends one of his men to inquire about him, and to their surprise they find out that he working undercover for the police. His men abduct Munni, Vijay's sweetheart and hold her captive. The question remains is Vijay really an agent of the police; a gang leader; or merely a pick-pocket.
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.
