BOLLYWOOD MEMORABILIA - A SET OF FIVE AMITABH BACHCHAN MOVIE SYNOPSES
This collection is a must-have for film aficionados. These booklets feature blockbuster 70s and 80s films starring Amitabh Bachchan, who continues to be one of Bollywood’s most popular and respected figures.The covers follow the design of cult posters, functioning to draw audiences to cinema halls. Film titles and credits, along with the names of important cast members, were often included on posters to attract crowds, and their characteristic kitschy design was used astutely to portray the hero and heroine in a larger-than-life format, while the villain was often seen in his most sinister pose, in a corner. Important supporting characters also feature on these covers.
While posters played an important role in marketing films, film synopses acted as the decisive bait. The booklets in this set of five includefilm synopses, artfully written to give the reader a glimpse into the plot, in English and Hindi. Along with the synopses is an added bonus—the lyrics of the songs featuring in the films.
