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.

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.
