Asli Naqli movie poster for sale.

Featured here is a rare surviving old Bollywood poster of the 1962 black and white Hindi movie directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee that starred Dev Anand and Sadhana Shivdasani in pivotal roles.

Printed and circulated several years after the first release of the film (somewhere in the 1980s), this old school Bollywood poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

Asli-Naqli (1962) was one of the early successes of noted film director Hrishikesh Mukherjee, making this old Bollywood poster highly collectible!

This old school Bollywood poster was originally designed in oil on canvas format by an art studio in Kolkata, giving it a very quirky appearance. The artwork is typical of old school Bollywood posters of the past.

Dev Anand is seen prominently in the poster wearing his trademark cap in a very quirky hand drawn avatar. Sadhana appears alongside in an equally quirky hand drawn portrait. This old school Bollywood poster features a slogan at the bottom that reads, “Old is Gold” to capitalize on screening the black and white film in an era of color films. The use of bright yellow and red colors gives this old school Bollywood poster a stunning visual appearance.

Asli Naqli is fondly remembered for its amazing soundtrack composed by Shankar Jaikishan. A song from the film “Tera Mera Pyar Amar” sung by Lata Mangeshkar is played till today.
