Long 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.
