Bollywood Cinema Showcards – A Lost World
By Lavina Melwani • Jul 4th, 2011 • Category: 24/7 Talk is Cheap - The BlogLong before Hindi cinema was rechristened Bollywood, there were film posters and showcards under glass in the lobbies of the theaters in India.
As you bought your tickets to enter a magic world, you sauntered by the display cases to check out these show cards, a collage of hand painted photographs which whetted your appetite for the treat to come.
Most of these old markers have disappeared but recently cinema fans got a chance to see a cache of vintage cards, lovingly preserved.
