Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Ab Dilli Dur Nahin' (translation: The Destination Is Not Too Far), released in the year 1957.

The card depicts an important plot point, which sets the base for murder accusations on Hariram (Motilal), later in the film/sets the pace and events for the rest of the film. The scene is from the point where Sethji, the moneylender is describing the event of beating Hariram's son Rattan (Master Romi) to Mukundlal and a drunken Hariram shows up to beat/kill Sethji (unidentified actor) as revenge. In the frame, Mukundlal (Anwar Hussain) is holding back Hariram and Sethji is laying fallen on stairs outside his house.

On the card's bottom left is a logogram of the Parliament with text reading 'RAJ KAPOOR'S' and 'Ab Dilli Dur Nahin' (Devnagri) under it. Below it reads 'DIRECTION' and AMAR KUMAR' under. RK Films' company logo is printed on the bottom right.
