N.  Ramaswamy and I have been trying to find information about Film Geet Koshes other than the ones we already know. For example we know about Geet Koshes in Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Rajasthani. We have found a few more. I will be mentioning them here.

He is working on other volumes.

It is in Tamil, sample pages and ordering information follows.
