These funny and quirky posters of evergreen Bollywood classics will definitely delight you.
Think of Sholay, Deewar, Mother India, Amar Akbar Anthony, Mera Naam Joker, Don and what comes to your mind, clearly a lot of things, a lot of catchy dialogues and iconic characters. Scroll Droll, a media company, has created some amazing posters of these Bollywood classics focusing on that one thing, which etched them in the memory of the audience for decades to come. Not just for the older generations, these movies became a cult for the millenials as well. Coming back to the posters, they are bang on!
Sholay was synonymous with a lot of things and people, who can forget the iconic Gabbar Singh, Thakur Sahab, the Jai-Veeru friendship, the overly-energetic Basanti, to name a few. Here’s the poster of Sholay in Scroll Droll’s style and it is so funny that we can’t stop laughing. We’re sure you can’t miss the joke if you’ve seen the movie:
Coming to Deewar, we all remember that iconic scene where Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) and Ravi (Shashi Kapoor) fight over Maa (Nirupama Roy), and the argument ends with ‘Mere paas Maa hai’, now check out this poster:
As soon as the movie hit the theaters, Mother India was a blockbuster. And, for generations to come, Radha (Nargis) ploughing the fields in scorching heat has become a scene that everyone identifies Mother India with.
Manmohan Desai’s Amar Akbar Anthony depicting the diversity of the nation in the title itself was a superhit then and even now, never fails to entertain the masses.
Angry young man, Amitabh Bachchan’s Don is another classic which was remade by Farhan Akhtar with Shah Rukh Khan but the magic that Big B created with his dialogue ‘Don ka intezaar toh 11 mulkon ki police kar rahi hai, magar Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi na-mumkin hai’, is unmatchable.
And, last but not the least, Raj Kapoor starrer Mera Naam Joker which touched the heart of millions as it told the heart-rending story of a circus joker, who makes everyone laugh, despite his own sorrows.
