Yudh

Old hand painted Bollywood poster of the Hindi action drama, Yudh (1985) for sale.

This is an actual surviving old Bollywood poster of the 1985 film directed by Rajiv Rai starring Anil Kapoor (of Slumdog Millionaire fame) and Jackie Shroff in lead roles.

This beautiful hand painted Bollywood poster has been designed by the greatest calendar artist in India, JP Singhal and bears his printed signature in the name of his studio “Singhals” on the bottom right hand corner, making this poster highly collectible!

Printed and circulated a few years after the first release of the film (Late 1980s), this old hand painted Bollywood movie poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

This beautiful hand drawn Bollywood movie poster features tell tale signs of calendar artist JP Singhal’s superb brush strokes. A brilliantly painted large close up of Anil Kapoor smoking a cigarette and holding a gun is seen on the left of the poster. Another highly realistic hand painted portrait of Jackie Shroff is seen with broad visible brush strokes on the right. A smaller hand painted portrait of villain Danny Denzongpa holding a pistol is seen on the top. The three independent portraits display a fantastic sense of synergy and merge flawlessly.

Yudh is a 1985 Indian Bollywood action thriller produced by Gulshan Rai and directed by his debutante son Rajiv Rai. The film had an impressive star cast including Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor (in a dual role), Tina Munim, Pran, Danny Denzongpa, Nutan, Shatrughan Sinha and Hema Malini.
