Movie posters drawn for sale: Devi (1970).

This is an actual surviving original Bollywood poster of the 1970 Hindi film directed by V. Madhusudhana Rao that starred Nutan in the titular role as “Devi” opposite actor Sanjeev Kumar.

Produced by A.V. Subramaniam and T.M. Kittu under the Olympic Pictures’ banner, Devi (1970) also starred Rehman, Madan Puri, Manmohan Krishna, Mukri, Aruna Irani, Farida Jalal, Lalita Pawar and Sulochana Latkar in supporting roles. Mehmood made a guest appearance in the film.

The story of a poor village girl called Devi (essayed by Nutan) who gets married to a highly educated and wealthy city doctor (played by Sanjeev Kumar), Devi (1970) explored the age old conflict of virtue v/s wealth in Indian marriages.

Printed and circulated during the original first release of the film (somewhere in 1970), this vintage Bollywood poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This vintage Devi poster was originally designed in hand painted oil on canvas format by master Bollywood poster artist V.G. Parchure of Pamart Studio fame, making it highly collectible. The printed signature of movie poster designer V.G. Parchure in the name of his art studio Pamart is seen on the bottom left of this old hand drawn movie poster.

Bollywood poster painter V.G. Parchure depicts lead actress Nutan in a stunning side profile portrait in this original Devi poster. A smaller overpainted portrait of actor Sanjeev Kumar holding a child is seen at the bottom. The poster is set against a soothing background with eye catching typography.

The soundtrack album of Devi (1970) was composed by hit music composer duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal, while lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi. It featured the timeless song, “Shaadi Ke Liye” sung by Mohammed Rafi.
