Whenever I perused Volume 1 of the Hindi Film Geet Kosh, I found the name Dilip in the cast in a few movies of the thirties. For example,

It could not be the famous Dilip Kumar. The mystery was solved by Shahid Pardesi of Lahore who pointed out that the actor Nazir had acted in a few movies with this name. Then, Sheo Khetan pointed to a page in filmindia confirming it for the film 'Flame of Love'. Lastly an internet search provided an image from Sharafee Loot when we have an actor looking like Nazir and we have a Dilip in the cast. WE still need to verify this hypothesis for the other three films, but my guess is that even there, Nazir acted under the name Dilip.

The USENET Newsgroup rec.music.indian.misc (=RMIM) group was formed with the efforts of Ketan Dholakia, Prince Kohli, Rajan Parrikar, Samiuddin Mohammed, and Preetham Gopalaswamy and others They tried hard to get the word film into the name but were not successful. In any case, the first post, on January 1, 1992, was just the announcement that the group has been formed. Regular posts started the next day.

On its 25th anniversary I compiled a history and published a book. If you want to want to know more and buy it, or, read it online, see here
