Old Bengali movie poster for sale: Shubhodrishti (2005).

This is an actual surviving original movie poster of the super hit 2005 Bengali romance directed by Prabhat Roy and produced under the banner of Rajshri Productions.

Subhodrishti, which translates as “Auspicious Sight” is a ritual in Bengali weddings performed when the bride and groom see each other for the first time during the wedding ceremony. The film is remembered for capturing the essence of Bengali culture and traditions through the lens of marriage.
