Chashme Buddoor

Old Bollywood poster for sale of the cult Hindi comedy Chashme Buddoor (1981) for sale.

This is an actual surviving old Bollywood poster of the 1981 film considered one of the finest romantic comedy films ever made in Bollywood.

Directed by Sai Paranjpye, Chashme Buddoor starred Farooq Sheikh, Deepti Naval, Rakesh Bedi, Ravi Baswani and Saeed Jaffrey in prominent roles.

Printed and circulated a few years after the first release of the film (mid 1980s), this Chashme Buddoor movie poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This old Bollywood poster for sale was originally designed in hand painted oil on canvas format by an art studio in Delhi. The printed signature of Bollywood poster painter O.P. Bangali is seen on the bottom right hand corner of this Chashme Buddoor movie poster.

A simple but beautiful hand painted portrait of lead actors Farooq Sheikh and Deepti Naval is seen prominently in this Chashme Buddoor movie poster. The poster is set against a minimal plain white background with typography appearing at the bottom in red.

Chashme Buddoor was a silver jubilee hit and is counted as a memorable film in the history of Indian cinema. The success of the film spawned two subsequent remakes in Malayalam and Hindi respectively. A couple of songs from the film,”Kahan Se Aaye Badra” and “Kali Ghori Dwar Khari” became instant hits due to their unique lyrics and classical style composition.
