Swades, Brahmastra: Thread on Internet Lists Best Movie Posters of All Times

Movie posters are more important than people take it to be. These posters offer us the first ever glimpse to our favourite movies and then excite us and peak our interest without telling us more than we should know going into a movie. The poster is not just an ordinary picture but an art form. Now, an ‘X’ thread which is currently going viral lists the best movie posters as per the fans.

‘X’ user ‘Movie Quotes’ took to the micro blogging site and shared a poster from Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Swades’. “Probably the best movie poster of all time,” read the caption. Swades is considered to be one of SRK’s most critically-acclaimed films. He played the character of scientist Mohan Bhargava and was paired alongside Gayatri Joshi, who played the role of Gita. Even after all these years, the movie is remembered as a masterpiece.

While many agreed with the post, some also shared their top choices. People shared posters from ‘Brahmastra’, ‘Lagaan’, and much more. The post has gathered over 326K views. “True. These days hardly there are photographic posters like these. Mostly heavy graphics and typography types. How beautiful and poetically one can convey using photography. But we end up seeing heavily edited ones mostly,” wrote an ‘X’ user.
