Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Five young Indian people stand on grass under a blue sky. From left, a young woman wearing a short black-and-white dress stands with her right leg slightly twisted. A man wearing glasses is jumping with his hands on back of the next person. A second man stares ahead, putting his hands on the shoulders of the fourth man. The third man wears a hat and a scarf, with his hands crossed in front. On the right is a woman wearing a short dress; her right leg is twisted backwards and she holds her elbow stretched out and her left arm to her right.
