What are some of the best Bollywood movie posters you have seen and why?

 This one deserves a special mention.

PARINDA:

At first instance you will not find anything special in it. Ever thought why the movie was named Parinda? I watched it when the film released and that time I was under the impression that as it had a scene where Anil Kapoor's friends Anupam Kher is killed in Kabootar Khana (a circle point in Mumbai) surrounded by pigeons, it's named Parinda as it was a very important scene in

aspect to the storyline. But one day I just looked at the cassette cover and noticed something. The pigeon shown in the poster is set as target. Pigeon being a symbol of peace, the idea behind it was to show that peace is at target and that's Parinda was all about. Sheer excellence of Vidhu Vinod Chopra and his team to represent the subject of the film.

AASHIQUI :

This poster played an important part in the success of the film. It generated curiosity about the faces covered by the jacket. The music was a smash hit before the release of the film.

Revealing the faces of Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal would not have given the buzz to the movie to such great extent. Both had normal looks and therefore covering their faces and generating curiosity was a good move indeed.

MOHABBATEIN:

The poster gives us a clear idea about the fight between the antagonist and the protagonist and between them, as the name suggests, tender love is ready to blossom.

HEROINE:

Kareena Kapoor as Heroine but the poster could have been much better if the tags behind “EXPOSED" and “CAUGHT" were not repeated. Some other related tags like “GLAMOUR", “SCANDALS”, “FAME" etc would have covered the entire concept.

DEVDAS:

We all are familiar about the tragic story of Devdas. On one side there is Paro who was Shahrukh's childhood love and on the other side there is Chandramukhi who loved Devdas. Between them is Devdas who finds the “bottle" that ruins his life.
