Lakhon Me Ek

Bollywood comedy movies poster 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.

Madan Puri made a special appearance, while Radha Saluja made her debut in the film.

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

This Bollywood comedy movies poster was designed using a combination of both photographic collage as well as hand painted oil techniques by a poster art studio.

The two lead stars who play brothers in the film, Mehmood and Pran are seen prominently in a black and white photographic still at the center of this Lakhon Me Ek poster. The camaraderie between them is evident from the expressions in their faces. An announcement at the top celebrates the successful completion of a milestone seven week run of the film in theaters.

An orange background is used in this Bollywood comedy movies poster, giving it an eye catchy appearance. Typography used in this Lakhon Me Ek poster is primarily in Devanagari Hindi, with a translation of the title seen in English as well.

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).
