The series, inspired by true events, takes you through the medical entrance exam scam in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The Shiksha Mandal story is of a medical aspirant, Vidya and many others like her who are caught in a web of corruption, manipulation and crimes at a tender age only because they are good students. Vidya and many other well-scoring students are made to take the medical entrance exam, not for themselves but on fake IDs. From the coaching centres to university deans, from examination boards to the police, from media to top government officials all are involved in this corrupt system producing fake doctors and medical students with no merit every year. The scammers are exposed only when a special STF officer, Anuradha, is assigned to the task. But with so many players involved the game is not easy. Will Anuradha be able to get to the top of the scam or will the scam unveil become bigger than everything else?

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
