Heera Moti

Quirky hand painted old Bollywood movie poster of the Hindi film Heera Moti (1979) for sale.

This is an actual surviving poster of the 1979 film, which featured lead actress Reena Roy in a Charlie’s Angels like avatar.

Printed and circulated after the release of the film, this quirky hand drawn old Bollywood movie poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This poster was originally designed on a hand drawn canvas by a small time poster art studio in Delhi, making it very collectable. A large hand painted portrait of the lead actress Reena Roy is seen at the center of the poster wielding a sword. Hand drawn faces of the other two key characters of the film, Shatrughan Sinha & Danny Denzongpa appear on either side of her.

Very few hand drawn, old Indian cinema movie posters feature women as action figures. Heera Moti is one of the rare few, making it very collectable!

Typography in the poster is seen both in English on the top, as well as Devanagari Hindi at the bottom.
