John Matthew Matthan

Classic Bollywood movie poster of the memorable old Hindi film, Sarfarosh (1999) for sale.

This is an actual surviving classic Bollywood poster of the 1999 action drama written, produced and directed by John Matthew Matthan, starring Aamir Khan Naseeruddin Shah and Sonali Bendre in pivotal roles.

Printed and circulated somewhere in the early 2000s, this classic Bollywood poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

John Matthew Matthan reportedly spent seven years on making Sarfarosh. The film was a stellar success – winning both critical and commercial acclaim.

Sarfarosh won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment and several Filmfare awards including the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Movie, the Filmfare Award for Best Editing, Filmfare Award for Best Screenplay and Filmfare Award for Best Dialogues. Sarfarosh was also screened at the International Film Festival of India, making this classic Bollywood film poster highly collectible!

This Aamir Khan movie poster features the lead actor twice – one in a close up photograph and the second as an imposing full length figure. A tag line on the top of this Aamir Khan poster reads, “Reason To Live.”

The film’s music composed by Jatin Lalit was a stellar success. Songs like “Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya” sung by Jagjit Singh, “Is Deewane Ladke Ko” and “Jo Haal Dil Ka” sung by Alka Yagnik, and “Zindagi Maut Na Ban Jaye” sung by Sonu Nigam are remembered and played till today.
