Favourite handwritings from letters in Hindi films. 📝

First up, this impressively written note in Hum Tum Aur Woh (1971). Too bad it’s about Helen dumping Ashok Kumar for being poor and even taking away her photograph from him. Image Superb penmanship in this poster of Bimal Roy’s Prem Patra (1962) where the titular entity is both the cause of conflict and its resolution. Image

A thread about random animal posters/ paintings in Hindi film frames:

While Gulshan Grover gets reprimanded by Pinchoo Kapoor in Avtaar (1983), a chow chow family photo hanging in the latter’s office is hard to miss. Three Maltese(?) puppers are witness to Kunika’s blackmail bid in Khiladi (1992).

A thread on my favourite houses in Hindi films.

The magnificent and mystifying mansion-in-mourning in Trikal (1985). Rakhee's eclectic apartment in Doosra Aadmi (1977).

Love her embossed name plate.
