Taal

Old Bollywood poster of the blockbuster Hindi film, Taal (1999) for sale.

This is an actual surviving Bollywood movie poster of the 1999 musical romance that starred Anil Kapoor (of Slumdog Millionaire fame), Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai in lead roles.

Taal was the highest grossing film of the year in overseas markets – becoming a massive success in both the US and UK. It became the first Indian film to reach the top 20 on Variety’s box office list, making this Taal movie poster highly collectible!

Taal won several Filmfare awards – most notably the Best Music Director Award for AR Rahman’s brilliant compositions in the film. Songs from the film became a rage throughout the nation at the time of the film’s release. The soundtrack of the film made it to the “Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks of All Time” list. Tracks like “Taal Se Taal Mila” and “Ramta Jogi” are counted as AR Rahman’s finest and played till today.

Printed and circulated during the initial release run of the film somewhere in the late 1990s, this old Bollywood poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

Large photographic close ups of Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai are seen on the top in this old Bollywood poster in black and white. Akshaye Khanna is seen in a smaller still colored photograph at the bottom of this glossy Bollywood movie poster.

The title of the film appears in striking typography in Devanagari Hindi font at the bottom. This Bollywood film poster appears predominantly in black and white (except for the title and the colored photograph at the bottom).
