Chamatkar movie poster for sale.
Featured here is an actual surviving old Bollywood movie poster of the 1992 Hindi film directed by Rajiv Mehra that featured the “King of Bollywood” superstar Shah Rukh Khan in his very first lead role.

Chamatkar (1992) is an Indian fantasy comedy inspired from the 1968 Hollywood film, Blackbeard’s Ghost. It told the story of a simpleton with a generous heart called Sunder (Shah Rukh Khan) who comes across a ghost called Marco (Naseeruddin Shah). Sunder wants to fulfill his father’s dream of starting a school in his village, while Marco needs help attaining salvation. The two decide to help each other out.
After his Bollywood debut in Deewana (1992) in which he played the second lead, Chamatkar (1992) was superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s second film and the very first film that featured him in a lead role, making this SRK poster, highly collectible!
Printed and circulated during the release of the film in north Indian theaters (somewhere in the 1990s), this Shah Rukh Khan poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.
This Chamatkar movie poster features an interesting design technique. Superstar Shahrukh Khan is seen in a large close up still, with his face over painted. Highlights of blue, red and yellow have been added to his hair and dripping red blood to his face. Actress Urmila Matondkar appears in a sizzling photograph alongside.
Supporting actors Naseeruddin Shah and Tinnu Anand are seen on the top along with a smaller still of Shah Rukh Khan in this Bollywood poster. The ghost Marco appears in a white silhouette on the top, giving away the theme of the film. The title of the film is seen in stunning two color font in Devanagari Hindi in this Shah Rukh Khan movie poster.
The soundtrack album of Chamatkar (1992) was composed by Anu Malik, while lyrics penned by Anand Bakshi. Tracks such as “Is Pyar Se Meri Taraf Na Dekho” sung by Kumar Sanu & Alka Yagnik are still fondly remembered and played today.
