Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Jagte Raho' (translation: Stay Awake), released in the year 1956.

The still is an up-close portrait of the drunken resident's wife (Sumitra Devi). In the frame, she is holding a melacholic expression on her face, with tear drops in her eyes, looking sideways, tilting her head slightly backwards. On the bottom border, towards the left, is a composition of illustration and text. Starting from the left is a silhouette of a man (possibly Raj Kapoor's character of the villager), next to this is 'Raj Kapoor's', overlapping with the name of the movie 'JAGTE RAHO' (English). Right under the movie's name is 'Written and Directed by-' followed by 'SOMBHU MITRA . AMIT MAITRA'. The text is followed by an illustration of a street lamp and a builiding. Towards the bottom right corner is the logo of the production company R.K. Films.
