Photographic lobby card for the Hindi film 'Kundan' (proper noun), released in the year 1955.

The card shows characters Kundan (Sohrab Modi), self-renamed as Seth Deendayal in the film and his grand-niece (check) Uma (Nimmi). In the frame, Kundan is standig towards the left in a half-length, side profile view. Uma is standing across him in half-length, side profile view as well. Both of them are holding on to two fully-lit diya stands, which are a strong prominent symbolic element in the film.
On the bottom border are the credits for the film. Starting from left to right, first comes Minerva Mocietone's logo followed by text reading 'MINERVA', next line; 'MOVIETONE', next line; 'PRESENTS'. This is followed by the name of the movie 'Kundan'. This is followed by 'PRODUCED & DIRECTED BY', next line; 'SOHRAB MODI'. The image is surrounded by a hand-painted red-colored border.
