Hindi Talkie Filmography (1951-60) in HINDI

हिन्दी सवाक् फ़िल्मोग्राफ़ी  (1951-1960)

Har Mandir Singh 'Hamraaz'
and
Professor 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. 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. Books on the Censor Certificate Information in English and HINDI were published earlier.

This is a reference book on the above subject. It has the title, the censor year, producer, director, lyricist, music director, other music credits, cast, additional cast consisting of the Junior Artists and Background dancers. People researching Hindi films will find this book useful.

The book is in HINDI, 6" by 9", 301 pages, Table of Contents.  English Edition was published earlier.

A few pages may be read here

RMIM Articles 3. Music Directors

Prof Surjit Singh

As I have mentioned before, classic RMIMers ran many series for many years, there content generated at least 6,000 pages.

I had thought of compiling a big book, but considering the sheer size of the work wrote a Minibus on the 25th anniversary.

Now I am coming back to compiling books on different series.

[I think it will take about 20 books of about 300 pages each to do the job properly.]

Paperback, US Letter, 225 pages.

The book may be downloaded from here
