Osian's Auction Catalogue Celebrating Cinematic Heritage | June 2018

70 Osian’s in association with IIFA 38 Munimji.1955 Filmistan Ltd. / Subodh Kumar Half-sheet Poster (POS) Oriental Offset & Litho Works, Bombay-7 30.1 x 19.9 in (76.5 x 50.5 cm) INR 20,000 – 30,000 USD 296 – 444 I liked Nalini Jaywant and Dev Anand as Roopa and Raj/Amar. She is beautiful; he is handsome. But more than that, they’re also great together: flirtatious, gentle, emotional, playful. I love the way their relationship passes through different phases, beginning with him getting on her nerves, then the realisation that they’re falling in love, followed by Raj’s trying to break free from her—and Roopa’s playful teasing to get him back. And, though I did say that Munimji doesn’t allow Nalini Jaywant much scope for histrionics, she does get to act something more than just irritated or charming or playful. The obstacles in the way of her romance may drive Roopa into deepest sorrow, but they also bring forth a wealth of emotions— and Nalini Jaywant portrays them beautifully.
