deRivaz & Ives Auction Vintage Film Memorabilia with The Barsaat and Bharat Auction

New Delhi (India), August 15: As the nation prepares to commemorate its Independence Day, deRivaz & Ives, India’s pioneering auction house, is excited to announce the much-anticipated Barsaat and Bharat rare and vintage film memorabilia auction. This exceptional event pays tribute to India’s glorious cinematic past by offering an extraordinary collection of film memorabilia that reflects the nation’s spirit of valour, love, and sacrifice.

The driving force behind deRivaz & Ives, Neville Tuli, elucidates his vision for the event, “This auction marks a deepening commitment to developing the Indian film memorabilia market. Both the Indian art and film memorabilia markets are barely 1% of the global markets. This must change radically.”

The auction lineup showcases an eclectic assortment, encompassing artefacts from timeless classics such as Barsaat Ki Raat, Shaheed, Haqeeqat, and Mughal-e-Azam. These artefacts, ranging from original release posters to silver gelatin photographic prints, encapsulate the essence of their respective eras.

Adds film historian SMM Ausaja, Senior Vice President at deRivaz & Ives, “Such auctions not just celebrate cinema, give impetus to the cause of preserving cinema heritage, but also serve as an opportunity to galvanise the film fraternity to participate and be proactive towards the larger cause.”
