Sharaabi

Amitabh Bachchan old movies posters for sale: Sharaabi (1984).

Featured here is an old Bollywood poster of the 1984 blockbuster Hindi film directed by Prakash Mehra that starred the greatest superstar of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role.

Produced by Satyendra Pal under the Chaudhry Enterprises banner, Sharaabi (1984) also starred Jaya Prada, Om Prakash, Pran, Ranjeet, Deepak Parashar, Mukri, A.K. Hangal, Suresh Oberoi, Satyen Kappu, Viju Khote, Bharat Bhushan and Vikas Anand in supporting roles. Actress Smita Patil made a special appearance in the song, “Jahan Chaar Yaar Mil Jaye, Wahi Raat Ho Gulzar,” while Kader Khan wrote the dialogues of the film.

Sharaabi (1984) was Prakash Mehra’s last hit and sixth in a row with superstar Amitabh Bachchan, the other five being Zanjeer, Hera Pheri, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Laawaris and Namak Halaal. A silver jubilee “blockbuster” at the box office, Sharaabi (1984) was one of superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s last films before he temporarily gave up acting to venture into politics, making this Bollywood poster, highly collectible!

Printed and circulated subsequent to the first release of the film (somewhere in the late 1990s), this Amitabh Bachchan old movies poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This Sharaabi poster features a striking photo of superstar Amitabh Bachchan at the center. Actress Jaya Prada is seen alongside dancing to the super hit song, “Mujhe Naulakha Manga De Re, O Saiya Deewane.” Close up stills of actor Pran, Satyen Kappu, Rakhee, Jaya Prada and Om Prakash are seen below.

This Amitabh Bachchan old movies poster erroneously features the superstar in a still photo taken from Laawaris (1981) instead of Sharaabi (1984). Actress Rakhee has been added to the poster mistakenly as well, when she has no role to play in the film.

Typography used in this Sharaabi poster is entirely in English. This Bollywood poster for sale is an ideal purchase for bar display!

The soundtrack album of Sharaabi (1984) was composed by music maestro Bappi Lahiri, while lyrics of the songs were written by Anjaan and Prakash Mehra. It was a blockbuster upon it’s release, giving Indian cinema unforgettable tracks like “Inteha Ho Gayi Intezaar Ki” sung by Kishore Kumar & Asha Bhosle, “De De Pyaar De,” “Manzilen Apni Jagah Hai” & “Log Kehte Hain” sung by Kishore Kumar, “Jahan Chaar Yaar Mil Jaye, Wahi Raat Ho Gulzar” sung by Amitabh Bachchan & Kishore Kumar and “Mujhe Naulakha Manga De Re, O Saiya Deewane” sung by Kishore Kumar & Asha Bhosle.

The film’s super hit music bagged Bappi Lahiri the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director and Kishore Kumar his 7th Best Male Playback Singer award for the song, “Manzilen Apni Jagah Hai.”

Inspired by the classic Hollywood romcom, Arthur (1981), Sharaabi (1984) was remade in Kannada as Nee Thanda Kanike (1985).
