And I can’t leave CHINGARI behind without a picture of one particularly stunning interior.

Not to be outdone, those talented molders on the art team came up with some obvious - yet still chaste - references to Khajuraho in a romantic scene complete with not just circular but REVOLVING bed.

This breaks the mold a bit though. Someone had a lot of fun painting this.

In a battle of art sensibilities (and virtue presumably?) with Tiwari, Durga Khote has ginormous reproductions of god posters on her wall.

Tiwari evidently likes vividly colored paintings of rural women.

From @tooreluctantacademic​ some inspiration from the extraordinary CHINGARI (1971) starring Sanjay Khan. Tiwari’s frou-frou nightie is somewhat at odds with his minimalist staircase and taste in modern art.

Yaar Gaddar (1994) The mind-bending painting on the wall in Gulshan Grover’s bar, plus the epic semi-circular, textured wall treatments in his lair, are standouts. Heroine Somy Ali’s (as Shashi) family’s art collection is eclectic, but memorably features overwrought landscapes to suit her father’s taste for melodrama. And while a portrait of Nehru presides over the court scene, I don’t know who the worthy is behind Mithunda at the police station.

https://twitter.com/bethlovesbolly reminded me of the creepy painting of the old Raja with the roving eyes in the classic 1984 Ramsay brothers horror film, Purana Mandir. Here’s lookin’ at you, Aarti Gupta!

Who would have guessed that Rehman and Sadhana’s family would have the same taste in moody black and white mountain pictures? (Waqt 1965).

Bhoot (2003). The art work features very prominently in the film, and adds such a disturbing sub-current to all the goings on that you wonder why Ajay Devgn didn’t take it down when Urmila started going nuts.

This is a tumblr dedicated to the art work - paintings, posters, photographs - that adorn walls in Hindi films. I’m following in the giant footsteps of friends with fabulous tumblrs on many subjects, so excuse any goofs as I get up to speed
