Film poster for the Hindi film 'Naseeb' (Destiny), released in the year 1981.

The poster, made with the cut and paste technique shows multiple characters from the film. In the centre of the poster, there is a half-length image of the character Johnny, played by Amitabh Bachchan, in which he is holding a pose of defense, like in boxing, rolling his left palm into a fist. To his left, along the left border, there are bust-length cut outs of three characters. From the top, first comes the character Vicky, Johnny's friend, played by Shatrughan Sinha. Below this image is the character Sunny's image, Johnny's younger brother, played by Rishi Kapoor. Below this image is an image of the character Asha, Johnny and Vicky's common love interest, played by Hema Malini. To the right of Johnny's image, there are face/bust-length cut outs of six male characters.

From the top, first comes an image of the villainous character Raghu, played by Kader Khan. Below his image is a face cut out of the character Namdev, Sunny's father, played by Pran. Below this image is a face cut out of the character Damodar, a photographer, played by Amjad Khan. Below the image of Damodar is an image of the Don, played by Amrish Puri. To the left of this image is a face cut out of possibly Prem Chopra and of Mukri next to it, who playes the character Mehboob Bhai in the film. Below the composition of these images is the producer's name as 'MANMOHAN DESAI'S', next line; 'Naseeb' (Devanagari). Below the film title in Devanagari, towards the left, possibly the film title is written in Urdu. Right below the film title in Devanagari, 'music LAXMIKANT PYARELAL' is written in English.
