Re-issue Bollywood movie poster of the 1970 Hindi film directed by Raj Kapoor, Mera Naam Joker for sale.

This is a re-release Bollywood poster of the 1970 film that was produced and directed by the showman of Indian cinema, Raj Kapoor.

This film, like many others released under the banner of RK Productions, starred Raj Kapoor in the lead role. In this classic, Raj Kapoor essayed the role of a circus clown who must make his audience laugh at the cost of his own sorrows. Mera Naam Joker also marked the debut of Rishi Kapoor.

Printed and circulated several years after the first release of the film (Late 1990s), this Mera Naam Joker movie poster was originally designed for publicity of a recent re-release film but never ended up being used.

This Bollywood poster features a close up still photograph of Raj Kapoor dressed as a circus clown, holding a stuffed toy in his hand. Simi Garewal is seen in a scintillating avatar on the left.

Mera Naam Joker reportedly took six years to make and was funded by Raj Kapoor’s personal savings. The film was declared a flop at the box office but has attained cult status over the years and earned the praise of critics.
