Sadly, only 40 movies are available to watch for this decade and we have provided song picturization info for the main actors and also others present in the 393 songs from these 40 movies by watching them carefully.
Happily, 'Hamraaz' had collected thousands of film booklets and many of them have song picturization information. That has been used for 3,546 songs from 436 films.

Beete Hue Din Part-2
Forgotten Memories of Hindi Cinema)
Interviews with Actors of the Golden Era of Hindi Cinema
Shishir Krishna Sharma
Huge amount of information is available about Hindi films on the internet. Unfortunately, not all of it is reliable. Mistakes range from honest clerical errors to outright made-up interviews with famous people. In this book the author describes his real interactions with Hindi film actresses who were active in the 40s to 60s. Most had been away from the industry for a long time and were living anonymously. The author made great effort to seek them out and interviewed them. He has obtained much rare and authentic information, clarifying many misconceptions and finding elaborations of other well-known facts about them. We hope that the readers will enjoy reading about them as much as the author has writing about the interviews.
Paperback, black and white, 134 pages, 6 by 9 size.

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.
Paperback, 6 by 9 in, 243 pages.
