Description

Chandni film poster for sale.

Featured here is an original Bollywood poster of the 2025 re-release of the blockbuster 1989 Hindi film produced and directed by the “King of Romance” Yash Chopra that starred Sridevi in the titular role as “Chandni.”

Chandni (1989) was a love triangle featuring Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna playing Sridevi’s love interests. Waheeda Rehman, Sushma Seth, Mita Vasisht, Anant Mahadevan, Achala Sachdev, Anupam Kher and Juhi Chawla played supporting roles in the film.

On Valentine’s Day, February 14th 2025, a digitally restored 4K version of the film was released in theaters. The print was restored to better than original quality by the National Film Archive of India under it’s National Film Heritage Mission.

Printed and circulated for this re-release run of the film in theaters (somewhere in late 2024), this Chandni film poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

Chandni (1989) was the first film that actress Sridevi signed with Yash Chopra. The two worked again together in Lamhe (1991). The film was a massive critical and commercial success, becoming the highest grossing film of the year. It established Sridevi as the top Bollywood actress of her time and is widely regarded as Yash Chopra’s finest work.

Chandni (1989) bagged the National Film Award for Best Popular and was a landmark film. It’s massive success together with its chart topping soundtrack album brought back the era of romantic musicals, ending the era of violent action films in Indian cinema, making this Chandni film poster, highly collectible!

This old Bollywood poster was originally designed using mixed media techniques (i.e. photographic collage as well as hand painted oil on canvas format) by noted Bombay-based film poster painter, Yashwant. His signature is seen printed on the bottom left of this Chandni film poster.

Yashwant has used an interesting combination of hand painted artwork as well as photographic collage to create this old Sridevi poster. A soothing hand drawn illustration of the delicate petals of a rose flower moist with morning dew is seen in the background.

A stunning full length still photograph of actress Sridevi in a beautiful pose with her hands in the air is seen at the center. The photo has been over painted by artist Yashwant, giving it an illustrated effect.

The minimal but compelling artwork in this Chandni film poster captures the beauty and sensuality of actress Sridevi perfectly.

The title of the film appears in striking typography in a 3D font in white accentuated with a black border. Lettering in this old Sridevi movie poster appears entirely in English, with an announcement on the top that reads, “Brand New Digital Restoration.”

The soundtrack of Chandni was the best selling album of 1989 as well as the decade with more than 10 million copies sold. Composed by Shiv Kumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia, known together as Shiv-Hari, lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi. Songs like “Mere Haathon Mein” sung by Lata Mangeshkar, “Chandni O Meri Chandni” sung by Jolly Mukherjee and “Mitwa (Tere Mere Honton Pe)” sung by Lata Mangeshkar became a rage throughout the nation and are fondly remembered and played till date.
