Film poster for the Hindi film 'Vishwanath' (proper noun), released in the year 1978.
The hand-painted poster shows multiple characters from the film. Starting from the top most area of the
poster, first comes a two line text in Devanagari reading 'Jali Ko Aag Kehte Hai, Bujhi Ko Raakh Kehte
Hai' (What's burning is called fire, what's extinguished is called ash), next line; 'Jis Raakh Se Baarood
Bane, Use Vishwanath Kehte Hai' (The ash which is used to make explosives, Is what is called Vishwanath).
Below this text, towards the left is a bust-length painting of the character Golu Gawah (Pran), holding
a knife in his right hand. Below his image is a bust-length painting of the main villain GNK (Premnath),
who is holding a revolver in his right hand. To the right of his painted image is an image of the
