A printed poster for Chan Cheeta (1984), a Punjabi action film directed by Masood Asghar. The composition features a fierce protagonist (Sultan Rahi) surrounded by roaring faces and a leopard, channeling the rural justice fantasies of 1980s Lollywood. With hand-painted detail and high theatricality, the poster captures the genre’s themes of masculinity, vengeance, and loyalty. Chan Cheeta remains emblematic of Pakistan’s gritty action cinema era.

Exhibited in “Spasial Program” at SculptureCenter, New York, June 18 –July 28, 2025.
