"Give 'Em Props!" -- "The Gold Medal" by ActionHero
"My favorite piece that I have hanging on my wall is my very first Bollywood poster called 'The Gold Medal' (1975). I did get it 4 years ago from my wife for my 25th birthday and from that moment I did start collecting Bollywood posters and stuff. And it's still one of the most beautifull posters I have: the composition is very strong and clean. The actors are so nice painted, with stunning colours. And I felt immediately in love with the girl (Raakhee) on the poster! She got the most beautifull eyes I know in Bollywood. After that I did rent the film on video, but there wasn't a videocover with it... :- ((I still try to find that rare cover;-) anyway, I did make some screenshots of the film and put them on the front page of my Bollywood-site like the poster. And this year there happened something special; I found the very rare original LP record and one set of 4 original showcards somewhere in Mumbai!!! So actually it is not one piece anymore that's special to me, but one -almost complete- set of 'The Gold Medal'...
