the lighting is soft, and from the top and side, there is a bit of "rembrandt" style lighting on these images often, it's designed to highlight jawlines, cheekbones,etc... Bollywood movie posters seem to be made from well-lit photographs.
so just "photoshopping' a random image shot in bright sunlight may not give you the same effect.
- there also often seems to be backlight on hair or the sides of a face, probably shot on a lit setvaxorcist

The fields of colour are quite distinct and consistent. Almost like renaissance paintings (no bounced light). Try isolating each colour field as contrasty a black and white and build up the colour using blend modes (color/multiply/overlay/etc).
