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

The frame shows the villager (Raj Kapoor) inside another house after
constantly running away from the residents where he meets an
innocent little girl (Daisy Irani), who later gives him the courage to
stick with his truth. In the frame, the setting is that of the girl's house.
The girl is standing towards the left of the frame, looking at the
villager in curiosity, pointing a finger at him, possibly asking him
if he is a thief. The villager is sitting on the floor next to her, with
one hand on the a toy bicycle.

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.
