Thanks for hosing Top Rated Indian Movies

RE: https://www.imdb.com/india/top-rated-indian-movies/?ref_=nv_mv_250_in_7

In your seemingly never-ending quest to make IMDb as useless as possible, have to say that removing movies seen/rated data from this page takes the cake! Really? Are you THAT desperate to increase clicks that you now expect me to open every single title to figure out which one's I've seen. Sorry, but there is so little improvement with any of these horrible changes, and I really don't care what you choose to blame. Blame the sky being blue, it doesn't make the changes any less infuriating nor diminish the decline in the site's usefulness. Guess you really want to shoo everyone to Letterboxd or something, right?

At this rate, it's looking doubtful that I'll make it to my 25 year anniversary, but what do you care, right?

@xianjiro  Thanks for the problem report.  This is actually a bug and the page should not have been launched without the ratings display and the ability to filter based on rating status.  We have flagged this for the appropriate team.

@Col_Needham​ That's a relief! (for now) Forgive the churlishness, but I've not been enjoying the recent spate of changes to a website I used more than before the 'improvements'. Thus, I just took this "unfinished" version of the Top Indian list as par for the course.

I see we can now hide rated films. Is this the 'finished' version of the page or an interim?

@xianjiro​ It is not the finished version of the page.  This is only a quick fix to restore customers' own rating display and to provide a very simple seen filter.  It was all we could to get it back this week. 

The final version will support "x/250 seen" and various sort options and filters -- actually more than the old page supported.  The background here is that we are simultaneously working on updates to the various ratings views under /charts/  (like the Top 250) and also what we call special sections (like India and Cannes).  The Top 250s under India really belong under the charts section, and so the reduced functionality was accidentally missed and launched early because special sections were ready before charts. 

Hope this helps.
