Old vintage Bollywood movie poster of the Hindi film Kasauti (1974) for sale.
This is an actual surviving publicity poster of the 1974 Hindi film that featured the greatest superstar of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role opposite Dreamgirl Hema Malini.
Printed and circulated a few years after the first release of the film (somewhere in the late 1970s), this movie poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

The vintage movie poster features a still photo of Dreamgirl Hema Malini wearing a suit and a hat. A large cut out face of Amitabh Bachchan appears alongside. Pran is also seen in a still photo paste at the bottom.
