Mawaali

Hand painted Bollywood poster of the classic Hindi film, Mawaali (1983) for sale.

This is an actual surviving hand painted Bollywood movie poster of the 1983 Hindi film that starred the Jumping Jack of Bollywood Jeetendra in a double role opposite Sridevi and Jaya Pradha.

Printed and circulated somewhere in the 1980s, this classic hand drawn movie poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This classic hand drawn Bollywood movie poster was originally created on canvas by a small time art studio in Kolkata, giving it a very quirky appearance. Jeetendra is seen prominently in the center holding a spear in his hand. His hand drawn portrait is flanked by beautifully sketched portraits of actresses Sridevi and Jaya Pradha. Three supporting actors (Kader Khan, Aruna Irani and Shakti Kapoor) are seen hand drawn at the bottom in black and white.

The combination of yellow, orange and red used in this classic hand drawn movie poster make it very appealing and eye catching. The line drawing techniques used in the past by old school Bollywood poster painters is very evident in this classic hand drawn movie poster.

This classic hand drawn movie poster is a two sheeter. Two sheet posters comprise two separate individual single sheet posters measuring approximately 40″x30″ inches each. When pasted together they line up perfectly and together form one single two sheet poster. In the image provided, there may be a slight gap visible between the two – as the images of the top and bottom half have been photographed individually and then joined together digitally. When framed or pasted, there will be no gap visible between the two sheets and the appearance of the poster would be seamless – i.e. just like a single sheet poster.
