This Amitabh Bachchan film poster was originally designed in oil on canvas format by one of the greatest Bollywood poster designers of his time, B. Vishwanath. His printed signature is seen on the top right of this old Bollywood poster.

A stunning close up illustration of “One-Man Industry” Amitabh Bachchan is seen prominently in this hand painted Bollywood poster. True to his character of a love-obsessed killer, artist B. Vishwanath has used light shades of green in illustrating his face to bring out a negative, villainous emotion.

Lettering used in this Amitabh Bachchan film poster is entirely in English, with a translation of the title appearing in Devanagari Hindi as well.

The soundtrack album of Parwana was composed by Madan Mohan while lyrics were penned by Kaifi Azmi. One of the songs from the film, “Yun Na Sharma, Phaila De Apni Gori Gori Baahen” was jointly sung by two of the greatest singers of Indian cinema, Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi in their own contrasting signature styles.
