Hindi Song Picturizations (1941-1950) by

Har Mandir Singh 'Hamraaz'

Prof Surjit Singh

Sadly, only 143 movies are available to watch for this decade and we have provided song picturization info for the main actors and also others present from these movies by watching them carefully.

Happily, 'Hamraaz' had collected thousands of film booklets and many of them have song picturization information. That has provided additional information.

Hindi Talkies (1941-1950) 78RPM Records (All But N) HINDI and ENGLISH

Har Mandir Singh 'Hamraaz'

Prof Surjit Singh

When we looked at all the 78RPM records available in this decade, we found that the file is too big, so we have decided this to divide into two books. This book is a listing of all the records that start with the letters other than N and has information about the record number, year, film, song title and singers as mentioned on the record.

A4 Size, Paperback.

हिन्दी सवाक् फ़िल्मोग्राफ़ी (1941-1950)

This book is a sister project, part of the much larger project undertaken by the two of us, with the help of many volunteers. Full details of the project can be seen on the main website

http://hamraaz.org/hfgk/index.php

The project is an outgrowth of the massive Hindi Film Geet Kosh (1980-) series of books compiled by the first author. The website is planned to contain all the data in the Geet Kosh, suitably expanded and revised by including the latest information. 
The whole history of the Geet Kosh may be read in the My Story section of the above-mentioned website. Suffice it to say that after the pioneering work of Firoze Rangoonwalla and BV Dharap, Geet Kosh was a unique and original compilation work expanding the earlier work in many directions.
The database on the website is divided into three section for convenience. The Censor Certificate section has the information about the censored films. The Filmography section has the information about film production and other details. The Song section has detailed information about the songs. 
It is a work in progress.
This book is based on the Filmography Section of Hindi Talkies Feature Films from 1941 to 1950 in HINDI.
