First glance at the title will make you guess what it is about. Does 'Shanghai' mean the actual city from china, or name is being used metaphorically, or does it mean something else? You see a few characters from the movie standing with their back towards each other, which tells you that there will be an one-up-manship kind of drama on screen in the movie. Movie is getting released on 18 June 2012. It features Abhay Deol and Emraan Hashmi, and both them are on the peak of their career.
Stills in the poster
Abhay deol and Emraan Hashmi have their back towards each other with Kalki on Emraan's side and Prasenjit Chatterjee on Abhay's side. Abhay is in a suit, wearing specs and mustache, and have a serious clerk like look on his face. Emraan Hashmi is wearing casuals, a smirth along with a mustache and is having a cigerete in his mouth. Kalki is looking shocked and Prasenjit looks as if calm about hiding something. Just below these characters there is a scene still shown in which a man is getting run over by a vehicle (having lights on).
Choice of colors
Very few colors being used. Background is shown dark to suggest that movie will have a dark murder mystrery, something related to the meaning of Shanghai. Dark shading is used aptly conveying what kind of drama movie might have. But, it is not something that will get you thinking or even talking.
Text in the poster
Only the movie name and some credits have been mentioned. Even the text used in the promos are not mentioned in the poster. But it doesn't hurt the appeal of the poster. In fact, it is difficult to imagine making this poster as appealing with some text on the poster.
This concludes the review for this poster. If you want to get any other poster reviewed, please share the name of the movie along with the link to the poster in the comments below
