Kajal

Black and white old Bollywood still photo of the Hindi film, Kajal (1948) for sale.

This is an actual surviving old Bollywood lobby card of the 1948 Hindi film that was produced by Ratan Pictures, starring actress Suraiya in the lead role.

Bollywood actress Suraiya was also an established singer. She is remembered as the first Bollywood singer to receive the prestigious title, “Malika-e-Tarannum” (Queen of Melody).

Printed and circulated during the original first release of the film (late 1940s), this old Bollywood black and white picture was printed for publicity of the film inside a cinema hall. The corners of the lobby card display visible pin hole markings – tell tale signs of being pinned on the notice board of a movie theater.
