A hit revenge action drama, Badle Ki Aag (1982) starred an ensemble supporting star cast comprising Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Madan Puri, Pran, Om Prakash, Sulochana Latkar, Rajeev Anand (Rajiv Anand), Armaan Kohli, Murad, Rajan Haksar and Trilok Kapoor

Printed and circulated during the initial release run of the film (somewhere in the early 1980s), this old movie poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This Badle Ki Aag movie poster was originally designed in mixed media format, using both photographic collage as well as hand painted techniques by a leading Bollywood poster studio based in Bombay called Selbest.

A striking arrangement of still photographs of the three lead actors is seen in this old movie poster. Actor Dharmendra is seen on the top in the largest photo. Sunil Dutt is seen below, brandishing a sword in a smaller still, while Jeetendra is seen in a police uniform pointing a pistol below in the smallest of the three photos. Actress Reena Roy is seen alongside pointing a pistol in a somewhat symmetrical arrangement.

Actress Smita Patil is seen in a bandit avatar, taking aim from a rifle on the bottom of this old movie poster Bollywood. Sarika is seen romancing Rajeev Anand taken from a song on the bottom right. Their t shirts appear over painted in sky blue.

Typography used in this old Dharmendra movie poster is primarily in English, with the title translated to both Devanagari Hindi as well as Urdu at the bottom. The film’s title appears in stunning slanted 3D styled typography at the bottom center of this original Badle Ki Aag poster. Flames are seen dramatically engulfing the title, while an action scene comprising galloping horses is captured below in black and white.

The background is a minimal white, except for splashes of sky blue seen behind the key characters of the film, making the foreground of this old movie poster stand out in contrast.

The soundtrack album of Badle Ki Aag (1982) was composed by hit duo Laxmikant–Pyarelal. It featured classic gems such as “Teri Mehfil Mein Hi” sung by Asha Bhosle and “Tum Saamne Ho Mere” sung by melody queen Lata Mangeshkar.
