This poster is a piece of cinematic history, reflecting the style of film promotion in the 1950s in India.
This hand coloured lithograph poster for the 1957 Hindi film "Ab Dilli Dur Nahin" directed by Amar Kumar and starring Romi, Yakub, and Motilal, is designed with a painted aesthetic, typical of Bollywood film posters from that era.
It features the title prominently in Hindi and English, with the names of the director and music composer, Dattaram, also mentioned. The artwork depicts a young boy being carried on the shoulders of a man, with a cityscape visible in the background, possibly representing Delhi. The faces of a man and woman are shown at the top, likely the lead actors, adding to the poster's character.
This film poster is a unique art piece, crafted from a key print that serves as the foundation for creating multiple variations of the design. The key print acts as the central, defining image, establishing the core visual elements that are then reproduced in a series of posters, each maintaining a consistent theme while allowing for slight variations in color or composition.
