A Hindu mythology movie, the story of Hari Darshan (1972) was based on Bhakt Prahlad i.e. devotee Prahlad and his faith in lord Vishnu.
Printed and circulated several years after the first release of the film (somewhere in the 1980s), this Indian mythological poster was printed for publicity of the re-release of the film but never ended up being used.
This hand painted poster was originally designed on a hand drawn canvas by noted Bollywood movie poster artist G.R. Kareker, and bears his signature on the bottom right hand corner, making the poster highly collectible.
Devotee Prahlad is seen in the poster in a pot of boiling oil subject to an attempted assassination by his father Hiranyakasipu. Lord Vishnu, his savior is seen in the background on the top.
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.
