This is an actual surviving set of eight old Bollywood lobby cards of the 1984 Hindi film directed by Mahesh Bhatt that starred Anupam Kher, Rohini Hattangadi, Soni Razdan, Madan Jain and Nilu Phule.

Saaransh marked the Bollywood debut of noted Indian actor Anupam Kher, who won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his remarkable performance in the film.

The film received widespread critical acclaim and was chosen as India’s official entry for the 1985 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, making this set of old Bollywood photos highly collectible!
