Autobiography(AB) is a type of literature which has a limited, selective and captive readership. Only those who are connected with the writer, personally or professionally will be interested in reading it. It can not have a widespread readership. A Doctor’s AB may be read by members of his profession or by those who are connected personally with him. Others who are unconnected may not even buy that book.

Ps-Mr Harish Raghuwanshi, the compiler of Mukesh Geetkosh and a regular of this blog informs me that this movie in fact was the debut movie of the famous Raj Kumar. So this Raj Kumar is in fact the well known “Jaani” Raj Kumar.
