Place of origin |
The English title of the film is printed in bold white three-dimensional lettering across the bottom of the poster, it is drawn as if it is part of a road and serves as a platform for the two 'friends' of the film to perform their street act. There are two children, one seated playing a harmonica with a pair of crutches placed behind him, and the other standing with a white stick in his hand indicating his blindness. This poster is unusual in that it has a background scene in which these characters are set. There is a street scene with many other children watching the two perform. This along with the overlying grey shades of the poster indicate the poverty of the situation. The Hindi title is written in the top left hand corner and the Urdu in the bottom right hand corner.
