IMDB Movie analysis

Chiti Agarwal
Approach Examine the data carefully and look for outliers, missing values,
errors, or duplicate data and develop a strategy for data handling and
cleaning. Remove all outliers that could impact the analysis.

Explore the data to understand the relationship between the different

data variables and correlations between movie ratings and other factors
like budget, genre, etc. Use the 5 why method to understand the root
cause of the given problem.

Draw insights by using queries and functions.

Visualize the insights with the help of charts/pivot charts or graphs

using data visualization tools and techniques.
