Asha Kale is an actress in India's Marathi Language film industry. She was given the V. Shantaram lifetime achievement award by the State Government of Maharashtra in 2010. She started acting at the young age of 14 with Marathi plays. She has completed formal education in Kathak, and used to conduct dance performances. Her name after marriage is Gauri Madhav Naik, but she continued with the same onstage name. Her early education happened in Kolhapur and Pune. 'Tambdi Mati' was her first movie and 'Seemevarun Parat Jaa' was her first commercial theatre play.
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.
