Preface

Movies are given year wise and in each year in alphabetical order. Usually movies are known by Titles rather than Years. For that reason an Index of Titles is given first. In this Titles (with the year in brackets) and the corresponding page numbers are given. From this the details for any Film can be found easily. For each Film, the information included are: Banner, Producer, Director, Story Writer, Dialogues Writer, Songs Writers (Lyricists), Screenplay Writer, Music Director, Playback Singers, Cast, Popular Songs, Censor Date, Release Date, Awards, Further Reading Material. The spelling for Titles is as given in the Censor Certificates if available. Otherwise, the words have been transliterated in phonetic spelling. All other words have been transliterated in phonetic spelling. The information has been gathered from various sources such as the movies available in VHS Tapes, VCDs and DVDs and movies screened on various TV Channels. That is why the Titles are incomplete. Even in the available Movies some information is missing. Enjoy the book. Any constructive remarks would be very much appreciated. 27 April 2011 V S Vutukuri
