The Burning Train

Hand painted Bollywood movie poster for sale of the old Hindi film, The Burning Train (1980).

This is an actual surviving original vintage movie poster of the 1980 action drama that featured a stellar star cast comprising Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Vinod Khanna, Parveen Babi, Neetu Singh, Vinod Mehra, Jeetendra and Simi Garewal, besides others. Produced by B. R. Chopra and directed by Ravi Chopra, The Burning Train was an action packed thriller inspired from a Japanese movie called The Bullet Train (1975).

Printed and circulated during the theatrical release of the film somewhere in the 1980s, this The Burning Train poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This hand painted Bollywood movie poster was originally designed on canvas by an art studio. It has a very dramatic and striking appearance. Actor Dharmendra is seen carrying actress Hema Malini in his arms. They are surrounded by flames in a mix of orange, red and yellow in the background. The burning train is seen at the bottom of this hand painted Bollywood movie poster. Also seen in the background are a couple of helicopters and explosions, suggesting the action theme of the film.

The soundtrack album of The Burning Train was composed by music maestro R. D. Burman.
