Ningalkkum Aakaam Kodeeshwaran is a popular Indian television show that airs on Asianet based on the UK's hit game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The show first aired on 9 April 2012. Season one was completed on 23 August 2012 While the Second Season ended on 18 July 2013. It offers contestants 1 Crore Indian rupees if they answer all 15 questions correctly. The show is primarily in the Malayalam language with translated English questions; and is hosted by Suresh Gopi, a popular movie star from Malayalam cinema. Siddhartha Basu, KBC's brainchild, is the creative head of the NAK show. Key sponsors are Confident Group, Nissan and Vodafone. A show titled Coat Eeswaran was broadcast by Surya TV in the same time slot as a parody to the program, but this actually helped to enhance the popularity of Kodeeshwaran further.
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.
