Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon

Old vintage Bollywood movie poster of the hit Hindi film Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon (1963) for sale.

This is an actual poster of the 1963 romantic film written, produced and directed by Nasir Hussain.

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

This poster was originally designed by cutting out images of actors from separate still photographs (shot on set location) and pasting them on a board. The background as well as typography are hand drawn / hand painted, which makes this poster an interesting mix of two very different design techniques.

In the poster, Joy Mukherjee is seen holding a guitar with Asha Parekh by his side in a dancing pose. The villain of the film, Pran is represented on the poster by a lazy passport styled photo pasted on the bottom. The typography of the poster is entirely in English, except for a translation of the title into Devanagari Hindi.

Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon (I'm Back With the Same Heart) is a 1963 hit Hindi film produced and directed by Nasir Hussain. The film starred Joy Mukherjee and Asha Parekh in lead roles. Pran played the villain in the film.
