Film poster for the Hindi film 'Khilona' (Toy), released in the year 1970.

The poster uses a combination of hand-painting and photographic cut outs along with text, featuring the male lead Sanjeev Kumar, female lead Mumtaz and the negative lead Shatrughan Sinha. In the frame of the poster, a bust-length painting of the character Vijayakamal (Sanjeev Kumar) behind prison bars, occupies most of the space. Towards the right half, there is an overlapping painting of the courtesan Chand (Mumtaz) in which she is shown dancing. There is slight depiction of the space, with chandeliers and arches visible in the background. Towards the bottom left of Sanjeev Kumar's image, there is a black and white, bust-length cut out of the character Bihari (Shatrughan Sinha). Towards the top left corner is the logo of the production banner Prasad Productions and the text 'Prasad Productions Krit' (Devanagari) is printed next to it.

Right below the logo is the name of the film in English. Aligned with the logo along the length are the names of the characters featured in the poster as 'Mumtaz . Sanjeev Kumar . Shatrughan Sinha' (Devanagari). At the bottom of this composition of imagery and text is the name of the film printed in Devanagari. Below the name are the credits printed as 'Nirmata L.V. Prasad' (Producer L.V. Prasad), 'Nirdeshak Chander Vohra' (Director Chander Vohra) , 'Sangeet Laxmikant Pyarelal' (Music Laxmikant Pyarelal).
