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 a scene from the song 'Lo har cheez lelo (check translation)', which the street kids in Delhi are shown singing for advertising their products. The frame shows a street scene where one kid is holding a doll on the center of the frame, another kid to his left is playing the harmonica and two other kids are standing with their carts hanging around their necks on either sides of the two kids. Other onlookers are standing around.

On the card's bottom left is a logogram of the Parliament with textreading '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.
