Nastik

Old Bollywood movie showcard of the Hindi film, Nastik (1983) for sale.

This is an actual surviving vintage Bollywood showcard of the 1983 film that starred the greatest superstar of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role.

Printed and circulated during the first release of the film (somewhere in the early 1980s), this old Bollywood showcard was designed and printed for publicity of the film inside a cinema hall.

Showcards were used as pin ups on notice boards inside foyers of cinema halls. Printed on photo paper, they were often mounted on cardboard to make them easy to display. This rare surviving showcard was actually issued to a cinema hall that screened the film Nastik, making it highly collectible!
