A short-tempered man falls in love with a woman, who is also pursued by a gangster that wants to marry her. As the man sets out to take on the mighty mob, his estranged family gets drawn into the fight.
Impulsive and aggressive auto-mechanic Ashok always stands up for his family and friends, but his father has banished from the family home. Meanwhile, KK, an expert assassin and aspiring politician, is leading a bloody gang war in the city. When KK's brother carelessly harms Ashok's sister, Ashok beats him so badly he has to be hospitalized. KK vows vengeance; and when he later falls for Anjali --the beautiful dancer who has also captured Ashok's heart-- his reasons for wanting Ashok out of the way double. How will Ashok stand against KK's army of goons, will he ever reconcile with his father, and what malicious plot will KK's mother hatch to insure her son is wed to Anjali?

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.
