Help Identify These Unknown Singers
HMV released four cassette set of Vintage Favourites From Films – The Earliest Hindi Film Hits from 1932 – 1942 long time ago. It was a good collection of rare and old Hindi film songs from 30s and early 40s. The covers of this 4 cassette set had pictures of 14 vintage singers from that era. HMV didn’t provide any information on who is who on these covers… I was able to identify most of them except few.. and I need yours help to identify them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2 is Parul Ghosh as far as my opinion is concerned. Your first photo (who is she?) may be…Kalyani, perhaps.
Could you please list the songs they included in this cassete set? Seems really interesting
2 is Juthika Roy. 5 is Pankaj Mullick.
In the 2 photographs, the last one is Chand Usmani actress in the competetion of Kolynos smile where she was selected as an actress by A.R.Kardar for his film “Jeevan Jyoti”
Sami,
Thanks a lot for identifying them. It is time to move Chand Usmani picture to picture gallery
Are you sure number 2 is Juthika Roy? I am asking this because they didn’t include any song of hers in 4 cassette set, then why would they have her picture on cassette sleeve. But then anything is possible as far as HMV is concerned ‘;)
I think the second last photo is most probably singer Meena Kapoor in her early days
