Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Aakhri Raat' (The Last Letter), released in the year 1966.

The still shows the setting of a restaurant, possibly a frame from the song 'Rut Jawaan Jawaan Raat Meherbaan' (check translation), sung by Bhupinder Singh. In the frame, there is a female character (Naqi Jehan) sitting at a dining table towards the left of the frame. She seems to be lost in thought, staring blankly in the distance. On the right side of the frame, there is a male musician playing a guitar while looking at the female character. There are other tables and chairs set up in the background. On the bottom border, the credits of the film are printed in the following manner. From the top first comes 'Chetan Anand's', next line; 'AAKHRI KHAT', next line; 'A Himalaya films presentation'. Under this text, from the left, first comes 'WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY', next line; 'CHETAN ANAND'. This is followed by 'MUSIC', next line; 'KHAYYAM'. Next comes 'LYRICS', next line; 'KAIFI AZMI'. The last credit in the line is 'PHOTOGRAPHY', next line; 'JAL MISTRY'.
