The poster features a spectacular hand drawn portrait of Rekha in a scantily clad avatar – very bold and risque for the period.
This poster was originally designed on a hand painted canvas, making it very collectable.
Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye is a 1974 Hindi film starring Sunil Dutt, Rekha, Iftekhar, Premnath, Jeevan, Bindu, Madan Puri, Ranjeet and Jayshree T. The film is widely remembered for a scandalous scene where actress Rekha appears bathing in a river in a semi-nude avatar. The almost naked appearance of Rekha in the film created widespread publicity and scandal. The scene is depicted on the poster in classic old movie, vintage hand painted format.
