dressed in a black attire and is carrying a suitcase with his left hand. Next to this image is
a cut-out of the female character Geeta Chaudhary's (Vidya Sinha) face. Under Vinod

Dali' (check translation), sung by Usha Mangeshkar. The image features Helen, dressed
in a checkered blouse and a short dhoti (loin cloth), sitting by a pole. A man is laying on her
lap. Between Helen's and Amjad Khan's image, a cut-out of a hand holding a revolver is
appearing outwards, overlapping with the rest of the images. Under this image is the
name of the film in big, bold, yellow type, reading 'INKAAR' (English). There is a
hand-painted train running right on top of the bold type of the film's name towards the right.
