Film Posters Exhibition Showcases Bengali and Hindi Cinema
Imagine a cool art show called "Salaam Cinema" that showed off old movie posters and pictures from Bengali and Hindi films.
People of all ages, even from far away places, came to see it.
They saw posters of famous movies like "Ajantrik" and "Do Bigha Zameen."
The show reminded them of a time when movies were made differently.
The people organizing the show also sold mugs and t-shirts to help pay for it, since they didn't get any help from others.
An exhibition titled "Salaam Cinema" showcased Bengali and Hindi film posters and memorabilia.
The event, organized by Sensorium and Art Inn, was held at the ICCR complex.
Exhibits included posters, stills, and lobby cards from the 1950s to the 1990s.
Attendees came from various areas, including far-flung suburbs.
