Bollywood Movie Pressbooks / Synopsis / Songbooks
Art365 India
Song booklets are slim pamphlets that carry miniaturized versions of the film poster on the cover, complete cast and crew credits, the films's synopsis, production still, and most importantly, the lyrics of the songs. Booklets were often meant as publicity targeted at distributors and exhibitors, but were sold directly to spectators as can be gauged from the printed price of 4 or 5 annas on the cover.
The song booklet, with its rich information and illustration is often the only evidence we have to reconstruct a lost history of Indian cinema, making them important archival & research material.
