Sita Swayamvar

Old Bollywood movie showcard of the mythological Hindi film Sita Swayamvar (1976) for sale.

This is an actual surviving vintage Bollywood showcard of the 1976 Hindu mythology film which featured Ravi Kumar and Jayapradha in lead roles.

Printed and circulated during the first release of the film (somewhere in the mid 1970s), 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 Sita Swayamvar (1976), making it highly collectible!

This old Bollywood showcard features a combination of both hand painted as well as photographic artwork.
