Babil Khan, an Indian Bollywood actor, has been garnering attention in the entertainment sphere with his innate talent and captivating performances. He is the son of the late legendary actor Irrfan Khan and screenwriter-producer Sutapa Sikdar. Irrfan Khan, Babil's father, was a renowned actor celebrated for his roles in critically acclaimed films such as "Life of Pi" (2012) and "Slumdog Millionaire" (2008). Babil pursued his schooling at Tridha School in Mumbai and furthered his studies at the University of Westminster in London. Upon completing his education, he embarked on his Bollywood journey as a camera assistant in the movie "Qarib Qarib Single" (2017). His acting debut came with the web series "The Railway Men: The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984" (2023), alongside Divyendu Sharma, Kay Kay Menon, and Madhavan. Prior to this, in 2021, he appeared in the English short film "The Mattress Man: A Yawn to Action." Babil received acclaim for his performance in "Qala" (2022), a psychological drama in which Triptii Dimri, Swastika Mukherjee, and Varun Grover also delivered noteworthy performances. His second film, directed by Shoojit Sircar, is eagerly anticipated.
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.
