Originally we had no plans to publish books based on the Hindi Film Geet Kosh Database Website. But some friends insisted that we do. So we started publishing books based on the information in the database. Frankly, there is nothing new in the books, all the info is already on the website. In addition, books probably are never going to be revised whereas the database is updated as soon as I receive new information, e g the recent Sabita Chatterjee case. Be that as it may, books have been published and will continue to be published.

Inadvertently, the book prices were not fixed properly and that led to some complaints. The problem has been corrected. The new prices are as below.

I had always thought that there was only one actress of that name in Hindi films. The singer with the same name, I thought was different. Yesterday when Vibhenu asked about the singer on the RMIM group, Shefali Gandhi mentioned that the Sabita Chatterjee from Parivar (1956) looked different from Miss Marina in the song from 12 O'Clock. Much discussion went on and many photos were posted. The final conclusion was that the one in Parivar (1956) acted only in that film. It was a different one who acted in many other films. Finally Arunkumar Deshmukh reminded us of an old post of M N Sardana on Facebbok (from 2014) making the same assertions.

I have added  a comment on the Database Website. Here the two ladies.

In Parivar (1956), thanks Pavan Jha.

 In 12 O'Clock, thanks Upendra Samaranayake.
