Obituary :

Feroze Rangoonwala :
—————————
Eminent film historian Feroze Rangoonwala, credited with having written the highest number of books on Indian cinema, is no more.
He has left behind a wealth of information on Indian cinema, particularly at a time when efforts are on to save cinematic material for archival purposes.
Rangoonwala was best known for creating the first book of Indian filmography in 1969, Indian Film Index, and his magnum opus, Pictorial History of Indian Cinema.
He started as a film publicist in Mumbai in the early 1950s. Then Rangoonwala wrote 15 major books spanning a career of five decades. These included Indian cinema, Past and Present in 1983, and several monographs on different film personalities including those on filmmakers Guru Dutt and Bimal Roy – some written for the National Film Archives of India. Other books include Satyajit Ray’s Art, Seventy-five years of Indian cinema, and Bharatiya Chalchitra Itihas.
Rangoonwala finally called it a day in 2006, as illness dogged him. He died on August 04, 2015 at the age of 82.
Unfortunately Rangoonwala remained least acknowledged by the Indian government circles and did not receive any accolades.
