Summary
A doll based on the Bollywood star, Hrithik Roshana (circa 2006), in his original clear plastic box. The box has a colour-printed insert - illustrated with images of the actor and 'Bollywood Legends' on the front and part of an interview with him on the back. Printed in gold-coloured ink on the box are his name and a copy of his autograph. The doll is made of plastic and has moulded and painted facial features, including stubble, and moulded dark brown hair in a fairly long, floppy style. He is in a mildly aggressive pose but is appears to be jointed at all joints (like an Action Man doll), with a swivel head. He is wearing an open, large-collared white silk shirt over blue denim jeans (with a brown belt) and a black T-shirt. His shoes are black and grey plastic. Sewn to the cardboard behind the doll is the type of costume he would probably wear in a Bollywood film - a cream cotton suit of plain trousers and a long tunic with long sleeves and high neck which is decorated with gold-coloured braid at the neck and cuffs.
