Baarish

Spectacular hand painted vintage Bollywood movie poster of the old Hindi film Baarish (1957) for sale.

This is an actual surviving old Hindi movie poster of the 1957 film that featured Nutan and Dev Anand in lead roles.

Printed and circulated during the first release of the film (1957), this Baarish poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This old Hindi film poster was originally designed in hand painted format on canvas by one of the finest Bollywood movie poster artists of all time, Parchure of Pamart design studio. Parchure’s signature style of mastery can be seen in this superbly hand painted old Indian movie poster, making it highly collectible.

Actress Nutan is captured in a brilliant hand painted rendition in the poster. Bearing an innocent smile, Nutan appears in a sensuous avatar wearing a saree drenched in the rains. The title of the film uses an interesting typeset comprising fine brush strokes to give it a “rainy” look to reflect the name of the film.

Artist V.G. Parchure’s original signature appears on the bottom right of this old Nutan movie poster, signed as “Pamart” – i.e. the name of his art studio.

The typography used in this poster is completely in English with the title translated into both Devanagari Hindi as well as Urdu.
