Mohan Babu, is an Indian individual with diverse professional roles, including being a film critic, obscurity expert specializing in anti-piracy efforts, podcast host, and entrepreneur. Born on May 6, 1998, in Erode, India, He embarked on his career at a young age of 13, initially focusing on anti-piracy research. He expanded his reach by sharing his research on piracy through audio content on Spotify in 2023, subsequently broadening his podcast distribution to various international platforms such as YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. As he gained prominence in the realm of obscurity, Mohan Babu established a YouTube channel to provide valuable advice, guidance, and support to fellow producers.
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.
