Beautiful movie poster design for sale: Jhutha Sach (1984).

Featured here is an actual surviving original Bollywood poster of the old 1984 Hindi film directed by Esmayeel Shroff that starred Dharmendra in a double role opposite Rekha.

Produced by A.G. Nadiadwala and presented under his A.G. Films banner, Jhutha Sach (1984) also starred Amrish Puri, Aruna Irani, Asrani, Prema Narayan, Lalita Pawar, Manik Irani, Jugal Hansraj, Baby Pinky, Bhagwan, Mukri, Birbal, Azad, Viju Khote and Piloo Wadia in supporting roles.

Jhutha Sach (1984) told the story of a wealthy widower called Vijay (Dharmendra) with two kids called Binny (Jugal Hansraj) and Chinki (Baby Pinky) who are taken care of by a live-in nanny called Madam (Lalita Pawar). Vijay is afraid to remarry as he fears his children will not accept a stepmother. However, his children convince him otherwise and pick a singer called Alka (Rekha) as the woman they want as their mother. Vijay remarries and heads with Alka for his honeymoon. A tragic road accident occurs on the way that ends up killing Vijay. Knowing well that the kids will be completely devastated on learning that both their biological parents are now dead, Alka hires a ruthless dacoit called Tiger (Dharmendra) who is Vijay’s doppelganger. She thinks that over a period of one month that he has been hired to play dad, the kids will begin to abhor him, giving her the opportunity to stage a separation from him and raise the kids by herself.

Printed and circulated during the first release of the film (somewhere in 1984), this Jhutha Sach poster was designed and printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This beautiful movie poster was originally designed in hand painted oil on canvas format by Bollywood’s greatest and highest-paid movie poster artist, Diwakar Karkare of Studio Diwakar fame.

Typical of Bollywood poster painter Diwakar’s brilliant art style, this vintage Bollywood poster features stunning hand painted artwork. The original He-Man of Bollywood, Dharmendra is seen prominently in this vintage Bollywood poster in a striking pose. The artwork appears illustrated in pop art style, with superb lines. An explosion is depicted behind him in black against a bright red background.

Typography used in this beautiful movie poster design is a mix of both English as well as Devanagari Hindi. The two word title of the film is illustrated in separate colors – green and yellow. Lie is depicted in green and truth in yellow. The 3D styled lettering stands out against the striking red background.

The soundtrack album of Jhutha Sach (1984) was composed by music maestro R.D. Burman, while lyrics were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri. It featured the popular duet “Kaisi Lag Rahi Hoon Main, Kahiye Kya Khayal Hai” sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar.
