Very rare old Bollywood poster for sale of the adventure Hindi film, Zimbo (1958).
This is an actual surviving old Bollywood poster for sale of the 1958 Hindi film that was styled along the lines of Tarzan of the Apes. Noted film director Homi Wadia modeled his character “Zimbo” along the lines of the popular icon Tarzan, adding an “Indianized taste” to the adventure film.
The main attraction of the film was Pedro the chimpanzee also referred to as the Ape Bomb. Called “Dada” in the film, Pedro the chimpanzee was dressed in female clothes to add humor to the film and was even trained to handle a gun in the climax.
Printed and circulated during the original first release run of the film in the 1950s, this very rare old Bollywood poster was designed and printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.
