Mumbai: That historical era of the golden screen, where there was the simplicity of acting in power, where there was a veil of haya on the face, and there was a heart-catching look in the eyes. Yes, such great films of the fifties and sixties, which are still unmatched in themselves, in front of whose light the brightness of today’s films have faded. So why not relive the old times? So why not keep some memories of those unforgettable movies with you? Yes, this opportunity has come, where we can have the first original posters of selected films of Indian history. These are such priceless treasures that will now be auctioned. From Awara to Mother India, Mughal-e-Azam to Junglee, and Khamoshi to Majboor, the original posters of the first releases of historical films are being auctioned.
Let us tell you that online auction house Derivaz & Ives announced that on 8-9 April 2022 its auction website www.derivaz-ives.com. But the largest collection of original posters from the first releases of Indian films will be put up for public sale exactly 20 years after Ocean’s historic auction fair. Nothing like this had been seen since the start of Ocean’s historic fair sale in 2002.
Various live events and exhibitions will be organized in Mumbai and Delhi in the coming days. Where many legends and superstars of Indian cinema – Satyajit Ray, Dilip Kumar, Bimal Roy, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Saira Banu, and Palmer Studios will be remembered for their unforgettable contributions and the cinema of Satyajit Ray and Bimal Roy.
For the ABC series – which began to build and honor a reliable financial market for Indian film promotional materials and memorabilia, this Diriwas & Ives auction may have been small in size and ambitious, but it is still a part of many of the designs, which still remain the global internet. Presents the finest collection of original rare posters including the first releases of films from India’s vast cinematic history.
Ambassador (Retd) Niranjan Desai, Chief Spokesperson, Diriwaj & Ives said, “Nothing will change until the Indian film fraternity takes more responsibility to preserve and retain an interest in our paper-based cinematic heritage. In the past, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Anil Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Dia Mirza, and a few others have shopped at Ocean’s auction, but there is a need to show interest at a large scale and collective level to bring about lasting change. We hope Diriwas & Ives can take this sensitive art form to the next financial level.
