Film poster for the Hindi film 'Pakeezah' (Pure), released in the year 1972.

The poster uses photographs and cut outs featuring the male and female leads of the film. The main image in the poster shows the character Nargis, a courtesan and dancer in Lucknow, played by Meena Kumari. In the image, she is shown performing in the 'kotha' or brothel. Overlapping with this image on the bottom right corner of the image is a bust length cut out of the male lead Salim Ahmed Khan, a forest ranger, played by Raaj Kumar. Below this image, first comes the director's name on the left as 'KAMAL AMROHI'S', next line; 'PAKEEZAH'. In the next line from the left, first comes the film title in Devanagari. Next to the film title, 'CINEMASCOPE' is written and in the end, the film title is also written in Urdu. Below this text on the right, the printer's credits are present, starting with their logo. Next to the logo, there is text reading 'Processing and Printing By PERFECT PRINTERS'. There is some more text ahead, but is illegible because of fading (possibly reads Bombay).
