    Frequent users of MySwar would have noticed a significant slowdown of MySwar as well as some erratic behaviour over the last few weeks. At the outset, let me apologize for these issues.

  • New, Improved Song Recommender on MySwar

    By Abhishek Gupta On MySwar, every song has a Similar Songs section that shows songs related to the one you’re browsing.

While they enjoy MySwar for the level of detail it provides and the many ways in which it allows them to explore Hindi film music, many have expressed an interest in extracting information from our database so that they can…

  • Text Search Feature – Now On MySwar

    Films, songs and artists are the most important elements in the MySwar database and so these are the elements that drive the existing search functionality on MySwar. This search feature, along with the powerful Advanced Search and Browse features, serves the needs of most users on MySwar. However, other data elements on MySwar have remained relatively inaccessible to users. Among…
