Geet

Black and white movie posters for sale.

Featured here is an original vintage Bollywood movie poster of the old romantic Hindi musical, Geet (1970).

Directed by Ramanand Sagar, the film starred Rajendra Kumar, Mala Sinha, Kumkum and Sujit Kumar in key roles. Nasir Hussain, Manmohan Krishna, Daisy Irani, Bhagwan, Keshto Mukherjee and Tun Tun played supporting roles in the film.

Printed and circulated during the theatrical run of the film in Kolkata (somewhere in the 1970s), this black and white movie poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This Geet movie poster was originally designed using photographic collage techniques. A stunning black and white photograph of actress Mala Sinha is seen at the bottom of this old Bollywood poster. Rajendra Kumar appears crouching alongside. An announcement on the top of this old black and white movie poster reads, “Now Showing.”

Typography used in this Geet poster is in English with a translation of the title appearing in Devanagari Hindi and Bengali as well.

The soundtrack album of Geet was composed by Kalyanji Anandji and had some memorable songs such as “Tere Naina Kyon Bhar Aaye” sung by Lata Mangeshkar and “Jiske Sapne Humen Roj Aate Hai” sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mahendra Kapoor. The film was later remade in Telugu as Aradhana.
