Prince

Prince film poster for sale.

Featured here is an actual surviving old Bollywood poster of the old super hit 1969 Hindi film directed by Lekh Tandon that featured the Elvis Presley of Indian cinema, Shammi Kapoor in the lead role opposite Vyjayanthimala.

Prince is the Hindi film that featured the smash hit song, “Badan Pe Sitare Lapete Hue” sung by Mohammad Rafi, making this poster highly collectible.

Printed and circulated during the release run of the film in north Indian theaters (somewhere in the 1970s), this Prince film poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This beautifully hand drawn vintage Bollywood movie poster features a quirky portrait of the lead couple Shammi Kapoor and Vyjayanthimala. The poster has its title and credits written in Devanagari Hindi as well as English. It capitalizes on the popularity of the song, “Badan Pe Sitare Lapete Hue” by announcing its lyrics on the top.

The soundtrack album of Prince (1969) was composed by the hit duo Shankar-Jaikishan was a huge success, with songs sung by Mohammad Rafi, particularly “Badan Pe Sitare Lapete Hue” becoming a rage throughout the nation.
