Do Hawaldar

Old black and white movie posters for sale: Do Hawaldar (1979).

This is an actual surviving original vintage Bollywood poster of the 1979 comedy that starred Asrani and Jagdeep in lead roles, playing good cop and bad cop respectively. Directed by Kedar Kapoor, Do Hawaldar also starred Zarina Wahab, Farida Jalal, Anjana, Jayshree, Viju Khote, Rajendra Nath, Mohan Choti, Dhumal, Nazir Hussain and Agha.

Printed and circulated during the release of the film in theaters (somewhere in the late 1970s / early 1980s), this old black and white movie poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

Do Hawaldar  was a remake of the blockbuster Marathi film, Pandu Hawaldar (1975) that starred Marathi film industry’s biggest star, Dada Kondke along with Ashok Saraf.

This Do Hawaldar poster was originally hand painted on canvas by a poster design studio in Bombay. Actress Zarina Wahab is seen wearing a police constable uniform in a large hand drawn portrait prominently at the center. The two lead stars of the film, Asrani and Jagdeep are also seen in constable uniform in the background of this rare black and white movie poster.

The poster is set against a minimal white background. Typography used in this Do Hawaldar movie poster is in English with a translation of the tile in Devanagari Hindi script at the top. The grayscale tone used in its design gives this old black and white movie poster a very vintage and dated look.
