Detailed Description

This oldest surviving hand painted movie poster in Indian cinema is of the 1924 Marathi movie, Kalyan Khajina.Kalyan Khajina was released on January 1, 1924. Kalyan Khajina is a quasi-historical adventure movie based on the exploits of the 17th century Maratha emperor Shivaji (Bhosle). Most of the film was shot in a cave where Shivaji meets the Subedar of Kalyan (Bhave). This film's dramatic highlight occurs when, inspecting stolen Mughal wealth, Shivaji suddenly confronts not a box-full of coins but a fair maiden (Sultana) emerging from one of the crates full of treasure.
