Hindi Films: Pictures of the Cast 1971 Part A

Kharag Singh
and
Professor Surjit Singh

In November 2022, I was surprised by an email from Kharag Singh from Ghatsila, Jharkhand informing me that he had captured thousands of pictures of Junior Artists and Background Dancers from hundreds of movies. He asked for my help in identifying them. I sent him books on these people published by me. He was very happy.

Naturally I asked him if he would help me with a similar project, he gladly agreed.I requested him to capture pictures of the cast from 1971-1980. Within days he stared sending me a large number of photos from movies. I realized that he is capturing so many photos that a book on 1971 alone will run to more than 500 pages! So we decided to split 1971 into three parts. This first one is for movies beginning with the letters A to H.

When you peruse the book you will realize that he has become an expert on recognizing obscure and small faces; obviously he has studied the books I sent him on Junior Artists and Group Dancers very thoroughly. I am proud to say that he can recognize people better and faster than me.

Radio Transcripts
Volume – 2
(Vividh Bharati: Aaj Ke Fankaar-I)

Sujoy Chatterjee

When N Ramaswamy recently mentioned that Sujoy Chatterjee has transcribed about 1,000 radio and TV programs from various sources, the first thought that came to my mind was that this a gold mine! It must be published. Luckily, Sujoy agreed. This is the first of a series.

From his preface:

    Listening to radio has been the author's favourite pastime since childhood. From early 21st century, with the arrival of the personal computer and the traditional mobile phone, he took his hobby to the next level, that is, he started making transcripts of radio and television programmes that were somehow related to film music. The transcribed information mostly comprises of biographies and interviews of artists, transcripts of programmes presented by them, and record of trivia and interesting incidents related to the making of film songs, and other additional details.
   Over the years, the number of transcripts crossed the thousandth mark. The information base thus created is massive. This book is the first Volume of the Series entitled ‘Radio Transcripts’ that includes transcripts of programmes broadcast over Vividh Bharati Service (VBS) on special occasions and those broadcast or telecast over few other radio and television channels.

   If you are looking for some never-heard-before and at the same time reliable information about film-related Radio Programmes, you will enjoy the series.

Pages 314, 6 in by 9 in, transcripts in Roman script and Hindi/Urdu language.
