Kharag Singh
and
Professor Surjit Singh

How many times have you wanted to know how the actors in old movies looked like? Of course, we are all familiar with the famous ones, Saigal, Ashok Kumar, Lila Chitnis, Madhubala. But how about many others whose names appear in the film cast and filmographies? And what about Junior Artists such as Pandit Chand, Rajkumar, and Darshan. Hardly anybody notices them. This book is an attempt to highlight the career of one unsung Junior Artist. We have captured more than 335 photos of him from Anadi (1959) to Aap Ke Saath (1986) in more than 135 different roles.

We hope you will enjoy this attempt o highlight an unknown Junior Artist.

Hindi Talkie Filmography (1981-85)

Har Mandir Singh 'Hamraaz'
and
Prof Surjit Singh

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 1981 to 1985.
