Some kind Brit Asian soul has posted a cornucopia of record covers from Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Punjabi film soundtracks of the ’60s-’80s (via Boing Boing). Groovy, baby!

The perfect gift for all the Malayalee Christian-Muslim acid droppers in your family.
The unfortunate combination of a beehive and a chunni gives Snehlata a profile out of Mars Attacks!
Those aren’t flowers he’s reaching for.
I’m gonna name my kid Darling Darling. That way she can never accuse me of repeating myself.
If I had a bedroom like this, I’d never leave the house. Wait, both of those are true.
It’s Peter SuperPan and SpiderWendy!
Now is the time in Sprocketstan when we must dance.
‘Can I just say how much I love broody men of color?’
Ummm, I see Malayalam and Telugu here in the selection, but no Tamil.
Hereafter, every time I am forced to go to an extended-family function replete with naach-gana and pestering adults (I’ll never grow up – never!), I’m going to have insist that the guys dance like our hero in Ladki Pasand Hai. At the least, it will keep me chuckling the whole time.
Why, god, why? Why does every Rajni movie poster or record cover have to blow up his enraged mug for autorickshaw and cab drivers to cut and paste all over their vehicles?? The last time I was in Madras, I was a victim of serious Rajni overexposure. (Then, he was at a party I went to. D-oh!)
The author of this post is an ignorant northie. Kundithala! Kompolu koolchenakodu!
JM,
Do you really want Manish to call attention to the awkward moments captured on the covers of Unmakkai Vetri and Mallikai Mohini towards the bottom of the collage?
OMG..she’s in a Spiderman Costume!! What the hell is that all about?!
I know! Did they do some sort of bootleg DC vs Marvel superheros movie?
Maitri:
Having not seen them myself, I am now curious. Come on, spill the beans! I want to see these stupendous works of art.
JM,
The entire collage is in the link provided by Manish at the beginning of his post.
Scroll down until you see Unmakai Vetri and Mallikai Mohini. The look on what I presume is Mohini’s face is priceless.
Ah, I see. In Unmaikke (Satyameva Jayate?), the background on the cover is a little spooky resembling propaganda art from Imperial Japan. Maybe the lady doesn’t like the dude’s eagerness to shout banzai? Mohini, on the other hand, even while unladen with Malligai, could use a bit of Slimfast.
Meanwhile, on SA…
