Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Raj Hath', released in the year 1956.

The still shows the king of Satnapur, Rana Bhaktawar Singh (Ulhas) in an argument with a messenger from Jagmer, Sangram Singh (Murad). Both men are visibly aggravated, and Bhaktawar Singh is seen holding a dagger in his hand. Sangram Singh is aware of this but has his hands behind his back, not expecting an attack.

Bhaktawar Singh reveals the history of how his family was humiliated by the Jagmer family, and how he proposed the marriage of his son to the princess of Jagmer as a ploy to humiliate them.

On the bottom left of the frame is text that reads (from left to right) 'MINERVA movietone PRESENTS', followed by the name of the movie 'RAJ HATH', and then 'Produced & Directed by SOHRAB MODI'.
