Mythology posters for sale: Hari Darshan (1972).

This is an actual surviving vintage Indian Hindu mythology poster of the 1972 Hindi film produced and directed by Chandrakant that featured B. Saroja Devi, Randhawa, Satyajeet Puri (Master Satyajit), Mehmood Junior, Jayshree Gadkar and Dara Singh in key roles.

Released under the Joy Films’ banner, Hari Darshan (1972) also starred Sujata, Sanjana, Kalpana Diwan, Sadhana Khote, Sarla Dund, Anwari Bai, Rekha Chauhan, Abhi Bhattacharya, Shahu Modak, Asit Sen, Babu Raje, Hercules, Shree Bhagwan, Ram Mohan, Dilip Dutt, Radhe Shyam, Baby Rupa, Ali Akbar, Salim, Sunil, Dinanath, Dalpat and Waseem in supporting roles.

Hari Darshan is based on the story of Bhakt Prahlad who was a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu.

Printed and circulated subsequent to the first release of the film (somewhere in the 1970s), this mythology poster for sale was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This Hari Darshan poster was originally designed in hand painted oil on canvas format by a poster art studio in Delhi. Devotee Prahlad (played by Satyajeet Puri) is seen in this vintage poster praying while seated inside a pot of boiling oil. He has been sentenced to death by his wicked father Hiranyakasipu (played by actor Randhawa) seen on the top left. A close up of actress Jayshree Gadkar who plays Devi Lakshmi is seen on the top of this mythology poster for sale.

Typography used in this hand drawn Bollywood poster is in both English as well as Devanagari Hindi.

The soundtrack album of Hari Darshan (1972) was composed by noted music composer duo Kalyanji-Anandji. It featured memorable devotional songs such as “Jai Jai Narayan” sung by Mahendra Kapoor & Lata Mangeshkar and “Karo Hari Darshan” sung by Mahendra Kapoor, which are fondly played in religious festivals till today.
