Gypsy

Most rare movie posters for sale: Gypsy (1957).

Featured here is an original vintage Bollywood poster of the Hindi drama, Gypsy (1957).

Written and directed by Sultan, the film starred Kamran and Naazi in lead roles. Sheela, Sheikh & Sham played supporting roles in Gypsy. Produced by Dindayal Vyas and Pravin Maniar, the film was released under the Premchand Shah, Fancy Films production banner.

Printed and circulated during the debut release of the film in theaters (somewhere in the late 1950s), this most rare movie poster was made 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 poster design studio in Bombay called Cine Studio. The printed signature of Bollywood poster artist Kandalkar is seen on the bottom left of this Gypsy movie poster.

A stunning hand drawn close up portrait of actress Naazi is seen prominently in this superbly illustrated vintage Bollywood poster. She is seen in her avatar of a gypsy girl. The innocence in her face has been captured by the artist perfectly. Actor Kamran is seen in a smaller waist length portrait below. Gypsies riding on camels are seen in the background of this most rare movie poster.

The typography used in this poster is completely in English, with a translation of the title appearing in both Devanagari Hindi as well as Urdu. The English title of the film appears in a soothing green shade at the bottom.

The 1957 classic was based on the story of a wandering gypsy girl who comes to Bombay and becomes a sensational star. Subsequently, her life takes a turn when she gets mixed up with gangsters and caught in a love triangle.
