The still shows a frame from the song 'O Gori Aaja Gadi Wich Baith Ja' (Hey Girl, Come Sit in the Car), sung by Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar. The frame features Jamuna (Geeta Bali) in an outdoor natural setting. She is dressed as a village belle, wearing a ghaghra (flared skirt), short kurta, dupatta and jewellery. She is standing in the middle of the frame, captured in half-length view, with her arms spread wide open, her head tilted up with cheer on her face and her veil (dupatta) flying wildly with the wind behind her head. On the bottom border, aligned to the extreme left and extreme right, credits for the film are printed. On the left, it started with the logo of the production company K.R. Films. Next to the logo is the name of the film 'Sapan Suhane' (English). Under 'Sapan' is the name of the film in Devanagari script and under 'Suhane' is 'DIRECTION' 'KIDAR KAPOOR'. The print is irregularly cut on the bottom and some text seems to have been lost. On the extreme right corner, the text is as follows starting from the top, 'WRITTEN BY', next line; 'Pt. MUKHRAM SHARMA', nextl line; 'MUSIC', next line; 'SALIL CHOWDHURY', next line; 'PRODUCED BY', next line; 'KIDAR KAPOOR'.
