year 1954.
The still shows a frame from the song 'Chin Se Aya Chini Baba' (check translation),
sung by Sunder and Laxmi Shankar. In the frame, there is a man sitting in the
centre of the frame, dressed in a lose garment. He is playing a small wind instrument.
To his left and right, there are three women on each side, dressed in loose robes and
pants, hair tied in buns and two knitting needles placed in the buns. They are all holding
the same pose. The ones on the left are bent to their left, with one hand on the waist
and the other held up. The women on the right are bent to their left and posing in the
same manner as described earlier. Two more women dressed similarly are sitting
on the carpeted floor in front of the male character. They are both holding fans.

On the bottom towards the extreme left, the credits are printed inside a rectangular
shape. From the top towards the left, first comes the logo of Black & White movies.

within smaller black rectangles. First comes 'Produced by KHUSHI & SETHI''. Under this
