Atithee

Old hand painted Bollywood poster of the romantic Hindi film Atithee (1978) for sale.

This is an actual surviving vintage Bollywood poster of the 1978 Hindi movie directed by Arabind Sen that featured Shashi Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha & Shabana Azmi in lead roles.

Printed and circulated prior to the original first release of the film in the late 1970s, this old Bollywood movie poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This vintage Bollywood poster was originally designed on a hand painted canvas by one of the most talented Bollywood poster designers of all time, Parchure. The poster bears the printed signature of Parchure in the name of his art studio, i.e. Pamart on the center right hand corner.

Bollywood poster painter Parchure’s flair for realism is seen clearly in this superbly painted movie poster. Highly realistic hand painted portraits of actors Shashi Kapoor, Utpal Dutt, Shatrughan Sinha, Deven Verma, Shabana Azmi & Vidya Sinha are seen at the bottom of the poster. A beautiful romantic scene taken from a song in the film is seen painted on the top.
