description: Mukti movie poster for sale. Featured here is an original vintage movie poster of the 1937 old black and white Bengali film directed by legendary filmmaker Pramathesh Barua that featured him in the lead role. Produced by New Theatres Ltd., Mukti (1937) also starred Amar Mullik, Kanan Devi, Indu Mukhopadhyay, Sailen Chowdhury, Pankaj Mullick, Menoka Devi, Debabala, Ahi Sanyal, Kanaknarayan, Bibhuti Chakraborty, Saradeb Ray and Nabab Khan in supporting roles. Shot against Assam’s picturesque backdrop, Mukti (1937) was a modernized version of the legendary story of Devdas. The film was shot largely outdoors, which was pioneering in itself. It told the story of a passionate and eccentric artist called Prasanta (played by Pramathesh Chandra Barua) who is married to a wealthy woman Chitra (Kanan Devi). Prasanta’s paintings often feature female nude figures which angers his conservative father-in-law. Although Chitra loves Prasanta deeply, their differences are too large to reconcile. The marriage falls apart and the couple gets divorced. Prasanta leaves for the jungles of Assam where he raises a wild elephant calf. Chitra marries a wealthy businessman called Bipul. Fate brings the separated couple together once again when Chitra and Bipul go on a hunt in the jungle and end up killing Prasanta’s pet elephant. Printed and circulated during a subsequent release of the film in theaters (somewhere in the 1960s/1970s), this vintage Bengali movie poster was designed and printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used. This old Mukti movie poster was originally designed in hand painted oil on canvas format by a poster art studio in Kolkata and features stunning artwork. A striking large close up illustration of lead actor PC Barua is seen dominating the poster. Kanan Devi is seen in a beautiful smaller portrait alongside. A herd of elephants is seen at the bottom. The entire poster is illustrated in a single shade of red, giving it a very quirky appearance. Typogr…
