Mini movie posters for sale: Lakhon Me Ek (1971).

This is an actual surviving original vintage Bollywood poster of the old 1971 Hindi comedy directed by S.S. Balan that starred Mehmood and Pran in key roles.

Released under the Gemini Pictures banner, Lakhon Me Ek (1971) also starred Ramesh Deo, Nazir Hussain, Mohan Choti, Keshto Mukherjee, David, Mukri, Kanhaiyalal, Jalal Agha, Viju Khote, Aruna Irani, Lalita Pawar, Shubha Khote, Sulochana Chatterjee and Radha Saluja in supporting roles. Madan Puri made a special appearance, while Radha Saluja made her debut in the film.

Printed and circulated during the initial release of the film (somewhere in 1971), this old Bollywood poster was originally designed for publicity of the film in theaters but never ended up being used.

This mini movie poster was designed using over painted techniques by a poster art studio in Madras.

Actress Radha Saluja is seen in a striking over painted still photo at the center of this vintage Bollywood poster. She is seen smiling shyly, draped in an elegant gold embroidered saree with her head covered. Comedian Mehmood is seen in a smaller full length still photograph in the background of this Lakhon Me Ek movie poster.

The minimal background seen in this mini movie poster features broad strokes of light texture, giving it depth. Typography used in this vintage Bollywood poster is primarily in Devanagari Hindi, with a translation of the title seen in English as well as in Urdu at the top. The main Devanagari Hindi title on the top is seen in a striking shade of red with a white border.

The soundtrack album of Lakhon Me Ek (1971) was composed by one of the greatest music composers in Indian cinema, R. D. Burman. It featured the memorable classic, “Chanda O Chanda” sung by both Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar.

A hilarious song from the film, “Mere Samnewale Kamre Mein Ek Bhade Ka Tattoo Rehta Hai” sung by Asha Bhosle and Manna Dey was a spoof on R. D. Burman’s all time greatest hit, “Mere Samne Wali Khidki Mein” from Padosan (1968).
