This work brings to light the previously uncharted history of female playback singers
in the South-Indian (Telugu) film industry between 1945 and 1955. Playback singers
such as R. Balasaraswati Devi, K. Jamuna Rani, Jikki Krishnaveni, P. Leela, and the
singing actress P. Bhanumati's contribution to playback singing have been studied
in order to arrive at a more cohesive history of Indian cinema
