In the 1970s and 1980s, several Russian films were exported by Russia’s premier film distributor, Sovexportfilm to India. These films were locally dubbed in Hindi and released in theaters with Indian film titles. Posters for these films were also localized to suit the Indian flavor and were hand painted by leading Bollywood poster painters.
Featured here for sale is one such rare surviving hand painted Russian Bollywood movie poster.
Sovexportfilm was a Soviet film distributor engaged in the business of export and import of Soviet films. The company was subordinate to the Soviet trade representation and held a virtual monopoly on the import of foreign films to the Soviet Union for several years.
