Padosan movie poster for sale.

Featured here is an actual surviving original vintage Bollywood poster of the 1968 musical comedy directed by Jyoti Swaroop that starred Sunil Dutt and Saira Banu in lead roles.

Produced by N.C. Sippy and Bollywood’s legendary comedian Mehmood (who also starred in the film in an unforgettable comic role), Padosan (1968) also featured legendary playback singer Kishore Kumar. Om Prakash, Mukri, Keshto Mukherjee, Raj Kishore and Agha played supporting roles in this cult classic.

Shot extensively in Brindavan Gardens near Mysore, Padosan (1968) is regarded as one of the finest soundtrack albums ever made in Indian cinema.

Padosan (1968) finds mention among must see Bollywood film rankings across the world, making this old movie poster, highly collectible!

Printed and circulated during a subsequent release run of the film (somewhere in the 1980s), this Padosan movie poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This old Bollywood poster features photographic artwork and was originally designed in collage format by cutting still photos with a blade and pasting them on a canvas board.

The artwork of this old Padosan movie poster is based on two classic unforgettable songs from the film, “Mere Samne Wali Khidki Mein” and “Ek Chatur Naar.” A large close up still photograph of Saira Banu is seen on the top right. A smaller still photo of Sunil Dutt is seen alongside on the left.

Still photographs of Saira Banu, Raj Kishore, Mukri, Sunil Dutt, Kishore Kumar and Mehmood are seen arranged in a row from left to right at the bottom of this Padosan movie poster.

Typography used in this old Bollywood poster is in Devanagari Hindi, with the title appearing in a mix of yellow and orange accentuated with a black border at the center.

The soundtrack album of Padosan (1968) was composed by legendary composer R.D. Burman, while lyrics were written by Rajendra Krishan. It was a blockbuster hit, giving Indian cinema unforgettable songs such as “Ek Chatur Naar Karke Sringar” sung by Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey & Mehmood, “Mere Samnewali Khidki Mein,” “Kehna Hai Kehna Hai” & “Mere Bhole Balam” all sung by Kishore Kumar and “Main Chali Main Chali” sung by Asha Bhosle & Lata Mangeshkar.
