Photographic lobby still for the film 'Halaku'

Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Halaku' (proper noun), released in the year 1956.

The still shows two dancers (played by Helen and Minoo Mumtaz) who are sent by Parvez (Ajit) to kill Halaku, by serving him water laced with poison. The frame from the song 'Aji Chale Aao' (sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle) shows the two dancers sitting on the floor, ornately dressed in a blouse, skirt and jewellery, holding a tambourine each, with their left hand.

The bottom border has an interesting combination of illustration and text. Placed centrally aligned to the print, starting from left to right, there is an illustrated logogram of the movie showing a man (possibly Halaku) taking away a woman (possibly Nilofer) on a speeding horse. Towards the left of the logogram near the baseline, there is text reading 'Shangrila'. To the right of the logogram, aligned to its baseline is 'PRODUCED BY: P.N. ARORA D.D. KASHYAP'. This is followed by 'MUSIC: SHANKER JAIKISHAN' and 'DIRECTED BY: D.D. KASHYAP'. Above the baseline level, to the right of the logogram is the name of the movie 'HALAKU' (English) followed by 'Halaku' (Devanagari). The names overlap with a rectangle with fillet corners, which bears the names of the producer and the production company, along with the production company's logo. From top, it reads 'P.N. ARORA', next line; 'Presents', next line; 'AN ALL INDIA PICTURES' ', next line; 'PRODUCTION'. Towards the right of the rectangular background is the logo of All India Picures.
