Razia Sultan

Old hand painted Bollywood poster for sale of the historical classic film Razia Sultan (1983).

This is an actual surviving hand drawn movie poster of the 1983 film written and directed by Kamal Amrohi, starring Hema Malini, Parveen Babi and Dharmendra in lead roles.

Printed and circulated during the original first release of the film (early 1980s), this hand painted Hindi movie poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This hand drawn Bollywood poster was originally designed in hand painted oil on canvas format by one of the greatest Bollywood poster painters of all time, Pandit Ram Kumar Sharma. The printed signature of master Bollywood poster painter Pandit Ram Kumar Sharma is seen on the bottom left hand corner of this hand painted Bollywood poster.

True to his mastery over the paint brush, a stunning portrait of lead actress Hema Malini in a warrior pose wearing a veil and riding a horse is seen prominently in this hand drawn movie poster. Pandit Ram Kumar Sharma’s spectacular compositions and brush work are apparent in the background of this hand painted Bollywood movie poster which shows an army of soldiers being led into battle.

Razia Sultan is remembered for Hema Malini’s stellar performance. The song “Aye Dil-e Nadaan” sung by Lata Mangeshkar became a hit at the time of the film’s release.
