Vishwanath movie poster for sale.

This is an actual surviving vintage Bollywood poster of the 1978 Hindi action film that starred Shatrughan Sinha opposite actress Reena Roy.

Directed by Subhash Ghai, Vishwanath (1978) also starred Bharat Bhushan, Rita Bhaduri, Sulochana Latkar, Parikshit Sahni, Prem Nath, Sudhir, Pran, Madan Puri, Satyendra Kapoor, Iftikhar, D. K. Sapru, Mukri, Ranjeet, Lalita Pawar and Viju Khote in supporting roles.

Printed and circulated during the initial release run of the film in theaters (somewhere in the late 1970s), this old Bollywood movie poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

Vishwanath is known for actor Shatrughan Sinha’s most iconic Bollywood dialogue, “Jali Ko Aag Kehte Hain, Bhuji ko Raakh Kehte Hain, Aur Jis Raakh Se Barood Bane, Usse Vishwanath Kehte Hain!” (That Which Is Burnt Is Called Fire, That Which Is Extinguished Is Called Ash, And The Ash With Which Gunpowder Is Made, Is Called Vishwanath), making this old Bollywood poster, highly collectible!

This Vishwanath movie poster was originally designed in mixed media format, using a combination of both hand painted as well as photographic collage techniques. A superbly hand painted close up of “Shotgun” Shatrughan Sinha is seen on the top right of this original vintage Bollywood poster. Hand painted portraits of actors Prem Nath and Pran appear alongside.

A stunning portrait of actress Reena Roy dancing is seen at the bottom of this Vishwanath movie poster. Two black and white photographic stills are seen at the bottom left and right respectively – one depicting Shatrughan Sinha holding on to temple bells and the other a fight scene between Shatrughan Sinha and Ranjit.

This Vishwanath movie poster is set against a minimal green and black background. Typography used in this old Bollywood poster is entirely in Devanagari Hindi, with a translation of the title appearing on the top left in English.

The soundtrack album of Vishwanath was composed by Rajesh Roshan, while lyrics were penned by Anjaan and songs sung by Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle and Manna Dey.
