Photographic lobby still for the film 'Ab Dilli Dur Nahin'

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 'Bhej Chhana Chhan' sung by Mohammed Rafi and S. Balbir. The song is shown as a prayer to God by the pickpockets Masita (Om Prakash) and Ghasita (unidentified actor), requesting for money/customers as their business has gone down. The frame shows a graveyard's setting in which Ghasita is sitting cros-legged on the ground towards the bottom right corner of the print, left hand on the left ear and the other held out in a singing gesture. Masita is standing to his right in an animated posture, holding an earthen pot on the left side of his waist with the left hand resting on the pot. His right hand is held out in a conversational gesture, as if addressing God. He is standing on a woven mat.
