Original Pakistani Urdu poster for Munna Bhai (منّا بھائی), directed by Shahid Rana and produced by Umer Shahzad. Not to be confused with its Bollywood namesake, this Munna Bhai unfolds in a parallel Lollywood universe, where gangsters, dancers, and paperback “Law Books” collide in a fever dream of justice and revenge. With its hyper-saturated photo montage and courtroom melodrama aesthetics, the poster captures the raw energy of Pakistan’s direct-to-video/YouTube film circuit.

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

Availability: Free pickup on July 29, or worldwide shipping (price excludes shipping).
