About Classic Bollywood & Movie Poster Art
I do not use computers for my work; every poster, banner, and cut-out is a result of pure brushwork. For my premium portraits, I use the traditional gridding method to ensure the likeness is precise, allowing me to capture realistic expressions and skin tones that digital prints cannot replicate. Whether it is a film-style hoarding or a life-sized cut-out on 18mm ply, the finish is always high-gloss, weather-resistant, and designed to last for years.
The Art of Old-School Cinema
My studio in Bazar Matia Mahal is dedicated to keeping the old Bollywood aesthetic alive. When I paint a movie poster or a film-style backdrop, I am not just creating a sign; I am recreating a piece of history. My process is tactile and rooted in the techniques of the original hoarding artists of Delhi.
Why Hand-Painted Matters
Unlike modern flex printing, which fades and feels flat, my hand-painted posters have texture and depth. I use high-quality synthetic enamel paints that are glossy, wipeable, and capable of withstanding the Indian climate. For outdoor hoardings or event cut-outs, this durability is key.
My Custom Process
- Portraits & Realism: For premium work, I limit my daily output to 15-20 sq ft. This ensures that the shading, blending, and detailing on faces remain consistent and high-quality.
- Structural Support: If you need a life-sized cut-out for a wedding, a promotional event, or a cafe display, I provide custom jigsaw-cut boards with sturdy, hinged wooden back-stands for easy setup.
- Language & Typography: Beyond just portraits, I integrate hand-lettered 3D typography in any script you require—Hindi, Urdu, English, or Farsi—to give your poster that true retro cinema feel.
Everything I create is an offering of my craft. Whether you are looking to decorate a restaurant with a 'Bombay to Goa' vibe or want a life-sized cut-out of a loved one for a special celebration, I am here to serve you with the integrity of an artist who values his roots.
