Forgotten Artists of Early Cinema and The Same Name Confusion Book 5

Arunkumar Deshmukh

Tens of thousands of artists have contributed to Hindi cinema since 1931. Barring a few famous ones, other are long forgotten and are destined for obscurity. By sheer determination the author has obtained information on many such artists.
There are scores of others with similar names. Their biographies and filmographies are often mixed up even in well-known books and popular websites. By deep research the author has distinguished between a lot of such cases. This is his fifth book on these topics. Another new chapter about some unknown facts about Hindi cinema has also been added.

Paperback, 6 by 9 in, 147 pages.
