Hand drawn Bollywood poster of the classic Hindi film, Shatranj (1993) for sale.

This is an actual surviving hand drawn movie poster of the 1993 Hindi film that starred Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Juhi Chawla and Divya Bharti in pivotal roles.

Shatranj marked the last film appearance of noted actress Divya Bharti, making this hand drawn movie poster highly collectible!

Divya Bharti’s sudden demise in April 1993 came a full eight months prior to the film’s release in December. Although she had completed filming her scenes before her death, a dubbing artist was used to dub her voice.

Printed and circulated somewhere in the 1990s, this hand drawn movie poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This hand drawn movie poster was originally created on canvas by a small time art studio in Kolkata, giving it a very quirky appearance. Large hand drawn faces of Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff are seen in blue, blending into the background. A quirky hand drawn portrait of actors Mithun Chakraborty and Juhi Chawla locked in a passionate embrace is seen in the center. A monkey riding a bicycle is seen alongside in red. Actress Divya Bharti is seen in a hand drawn avatar at the bottom of this old movie poster.

The title of the film appears in white, standing out against the blue background in this old hand drawn movie poster.
