Ramkali

Old vintage black and white Hindi movie poster of the Bollywood film Ramkali (1985) for sale.

This is an actual surviving vintage poster of the classic Bollywood movie Ramkali that featured the dream girl of Indian cinema, Hema Malini in a bandit avatar. Printed and circulated a few years after the release of the film (late 1980s), this classic black and white Hindi movie poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This poster was originally designed by cutting out still black and white photos and pasting them on a board. The background and text are hand painted, making this poster an interesting mix of two different design techniques.

Ramkali is a bandit film released in 1985 featuring Hema Malini, Shatrughan Sinha, Nirupa Roy, Ranjeet, Kader Khan and Suresh Oberoi. This photographic old black and white Indian cinema poster features the bandit couple, Shatrughan Sinha and Hema Malini prominently on the top, while villain Ranjeet and other supporting characters are seen in smaller sized still photos at the bottom.
