SUBRAMANIYAPURAM

This striking (no pun intended) matchbox image is a likeness
of Swathi, the star of the Tamil hit film, Subramaniyapuram.

MOTHER INDIA

The famous image from Mehboob Khan's 1957 film.

TEEN EKKA

Three aces, featuring my favourite Bollywood star, 
Shahrukh Khan on the left, I don't recognize the 
heart-throb in the middle but it looks a lot like a 
young Salman Khan on the right.

PORTER (COOLIE)

Another example of Bollywood imagery, featuring a likeness 
of Amitabh Bachan from the film 'Coolie'. This matchbox seems
to have been trough quite a lot, from the looks of it.

BIG BOSS

Ganesh as the 'Big Boss'. Of the multitude of Indian deities, 
he is the one who will help get you out of a jam. Definitely
the biggest star in India.

MEGASTAR

An awesome example of Bollywood imagery on matchbox art.
