Directed by S.V. Rajendra Singh and co-produced by RJ Chakravarti, Sharara (1984) also starred Raaj Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Mithun Chakraborty, Tina Munim, Vijayendra Ghatge, Ranjeet, Shakti Kapoor and Kader Khan.
An action packed drama featuring a stellar start cast, Sharara is believed to be inspired by the 1980 political thriller novel, “The Second Lady” written by Irving Wallace.
Printed and circulated during the debut release of the film in theaters (somewhere in 1984), this old showcard Bollywood poster of the movie Sharara was originally designed for publicity of the film inside the foyer of a cinema.
Bollywood showcards were used as pin ups on notice boards inside foyers of cinema halls. Printed on photo paper, they are mounted on cardboard to make them easy to display.
This rare surviving old Bollywood showcard was actually issued to a cinema hall that screened the film Sharara in 1984, making it highly collectible!
This old Bollywood poster of the movie Sharara was originally designed using both hand painted as well as photographic collage techniques by the greatest and highest paid Bollywood poster artist of all time, Diwakar Karkare of Studio Diwakar fame.
This illustrated showcard captures Bollywood poster art at its finest. True to Diwakar’s command over the paint brush, this Bollywood poster movie showcard features three stunning hand painted illustrations of Raaj Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha and Hema Malini. Their close up portraits appear fused together, giving the idea that their destinies are intertwined.
A stunning small still photo of Dreamgirl Hema Malini is seen at the center. She appears wearing a blue saree and pointing a carbine while lying down. Mithun Chakraborty and Tina Munim are seen dancing together from a song in the film on the right of this Bollywood poster movie showcard.
Villain Ranjeet is seen forcibly covering the mouth of actress Tina Munim with his hand in a still photo pasted on the left. An army along with barbed wire is painted in the background. The title appears at the top in a catchy blue font. Typography used in this Bollywood poster collage showcard is entirely in English.
The soundtrack album of Sharara was composed by the hit duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal, while lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi. Two songs from the film became very popular at the time of it’s release, namely “Shabnam Ka Yeh Katra Hai” sung by Lata Mangeshkar and “Maine Kiya, Tumne Kiya” sung by Asha Bhosle and Suresh Wadkar.
