Himmatwala

Vintage Indian film poster of the blockbuster Bollywood movie Himmatwala (1983) for sale.

This is an actual surviving original Bollywood film poster of the 1983 Hindi film that catapulted actress Sridevi into Bollywood stardom. Printed and circulated during the initial first release of the film (somewhere in the early 1980s), this vintage Hindi film poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This fabulous vintage Indian film poster contains a stunning still photograph taken from the iconic song in the film “Nainon Mein Sapna.” Jeetendra and Sridevi are seen in a dancing pose prominently in the center. A striking array of backup dancers is seen in the background of this original Bollywood film poster. The entire poster is encased in a solid black border.

Himmatwala (The Brave) is a 1983 action Hindi film starring Jeetendra and Sridevi. The film is credited with turning actress Sridevi into a star in Hindi cinema. The film was the highest grosser of the year it was released in and declared a blockbuster.

A couple of songs from the film composed by Bappi Lahiri became hugely popular – “Nainon Mein Sapna” (sung by Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar) and “Taki O Taki” ( sung by Kishore Kumar & Asha Bhosle).

Inspired by the huge success of the film in 1983, Sajid Khan directed a recent remake of the film starring Ajay Devgan. The remake however, released in the year 2013, was a disaster at the box office.
