A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Milana Prakash
A former investment banker at London, Prakash gave up his lucrative job in order to pursue his career in the film industry. Making his debut as a director in 2003, Prakash directed the Vijay Raghavendra-starrer Kannada movie Khushi, which opened to a fantastic start and ran in cinemas for over 100 days. After the success of his debut movie, Prakash collaborated with Vijay on three occasions on movies like Rishi, Shree, and Gokula. His most successful movie continues to remain Milana, which he roped in his cousin, Puneeth Rajkumar, for the lead. The movie ran for 450 days in PVR, winning him the Udaya Film Award for Best Director. In 2017, Prakash directed the action drama Tarak, which features Darshan, Sruthi Hariharan and Shanvi Srivastava in lead roles.
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.
