Yes Boss

Yes Boss poster for sale.

Featured here is an actual surviving original Bollywood poster of the old 1997 super hit Hindi film directed by Aziz Mirza that featured the “King of Bollywood” Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role opposite Juhi Chawla.

Produced by Ratan Jain, Yes Boss (1997) also starred Aditya Pancholi, Kashmera Shah, Gulshan Grover, Johnny Lever, Reema Lagoo, Rakesh Bedi, Anant Mahadevan and Kulbhushan Kharbanda in supporting roles.

Inspired by the Michael J Fox Hollywood film For Love Or Money (1993), Yes Boss (1997) told the story of an ambitious young man called Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) who finds employment with a married womanizer called Siddharth (Aditya Pancholi). When Siddharth seeks Rahul’s help to trap an aspiring model called Seema (Juhi Chawla) into his lust net, he agrees. However, things begin to change when Rahul starts developing feelings for Seema.

Printed and circulated during the first release of the film (somewhere in 1997), this Shah Rukh Khan poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is seen a stunning close up on the top of this Yes Boss poster. Dark eyeglasses are seen on his nose. A smaller still photograph featuring the lead couple Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla running on a street is seen below. The image is taken from a hit song from the film called “Main Koi Aisa Geet,” which was shot in Bern, Switzerland. Typography used in this Shah Rukh Khan poster is entirely in Devanagari Hindi.

The soundtrack album of Yes Boss (1997) was composed by duo Jatin-Lalit, while lyrics were penned by Javed Akhtar. It was a blockbuster upon it’s release and catapulted singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya to superstardom, winning him his first Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the song “Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon”.

His other tracks from the film, “Chaand Taare,” “Suniye To” and “Jaata Hai Tu Kahan” are also fondly remembered and played till today.
