Dastan-e-Laila Majnu (1974) poster for sale.
Featured here is an actual surviving original Bollywood poster of the 1974 Hindi romantic drama that starred Anamika and Kanwaljit Singh as star crossed lovers “Laila” and “Majnu” respectively.
Produced and directed by R.L. Desai, Dastan-e-Laila Majnu (1974) also starred K.N. Singh, Jayshree Talpade, Satyajit and Dulari in supporting roles. Released under the Chandra Art productions banner and presented by S.G. Laad, Dheeraj Kumar made a special appearance in the film.
Shot extensively in Bikaner, Rajasthan, Dastan-e-Laila Majnu (1974) was based on the ancient legendary Arabic love story of Layla and Majnun (Romeo and Juliet).
Printed and circulated a few years after the first release of the film (somewhere in the 1970s), this old Bollywood movie poster for sale was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.
This old Bollywood poster was originally designed in hand painted oil on canvas format by a small time art studio in Kolkata. Brilliant hand drawn portraits of Laila and Majnu (Anamika and Kanwaljit Singh respectively) are seen in this old Bollywood poster. The poster is set against a yellow green background with the lettering at the bottom appearing in a stunning calligraphy style font.
Typography in this vintage Dastan-e-Laila Majnu (1974) poster is primarily in English, with a translation of the title seen in Devanagari Hindi as well as in Urdu.
The soundtrack album of Dastan-e-Laila Majnu (1974) was composed by Iqbal Qureshi. It featured the popular song, “Ae Jaan-e-Tamanna Aa Bhi Jaa” sung by legendary signer Mohammed Rafi.
