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

The still shows resident Shashank Babu (Pahari Sanyal), his wife Meenu (Sulochana Chatterjee) and the villager (Raj Kapoor) from the point where they discover the presence of the hidden villager in their house, while violently fighting with each other and then turn to the villager to catch him. In the frame, the villager is standing towards the extreme left in the background of Shashank Babu's house, scared to his wits. To his right is Meenu, holding a knife in her hand aimed in the villager's direction. Shashank Babu is standing towards the extreme right, back facing the camera, holding a wooden log high with both his hands. 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.
