Nastik

Amitabh Bachchan posters for sale: Nastik (1983).

Featured here is an actual surviving vintage Bollywood movie poster of the 1983 Hindi action film directed by Pramod Chakravorty that starred the greatest superstar of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role opposite actress Hema Malini.

Produced by Vinod Doshi, Nastik (1983) also starred Pran, Raju Shrestha, Sarika, Amjad Khan, Kamal Kapoor, Nalini Jaywant, Bharat Bhushan, Deven Verma, Jayshree T., Rita Bhaduri, Viju Khote, Lalita Pawar, Tom Alter and Madan Puri in supporting roles.

Nastik (1983) was the last film to feature the hit pair of Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini together (who previously appeared in films such as Satte Pe Satta, Kasauti, Naseeb, Desh Premee, Gehri Chaal, Andha Kanoon and Geraftaar) before they made a comeback 20 years later in Baghban (2003).

Printed and circulated a few years after the first release of the film (somewhere in the late 1980s), this Amitabh Bachchan poster was originally designed for publicity of the subsequent re-release of the film but never ended up being used.

This old Bollywood poster features quirky hand painted artwork. A large hand painted portrait of superstar Amitabh Bachchan is seen prominently on the poster. An idol radiating divine light is painted at the top, giving away the underlying theme of the film.

This Amitabh Bachchan poster has been paper backed, i.e. glued on thick poster paper in order to safeguard it from wear and tear.

The soundtrack album of Nastik (1983) was composed by Kalyanji Anandji, while lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi. It contained the hit song “Aaj Ka Yeh Din Kal Ban Jaayega Kal” by Kishore Kumar. The devotional song “Sagre Jagat Ka Ek Rakhwala” also became popular at the time of it’s release.
