Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Akeli Mat Jaiyo' (Don't Go Alone), released in the year 1963.

The still shows the lead characters Seema (Meena Kumari) and Prince Amardeep (Rajendra Kumar). The lobby card's orientation is landscape but the image of the characters in portrait orientation has also been placed in a landscape fashion. In the frame, the top half is occupied by Seema, in side profile, bust-length view where she is looking at Prince Amardeep. Prince Amardeep is towards the lower half of the frame,
with only three quarter of his face visible in front profile view in which he is looking in Seema's direction. The bottom left corner of the printed image is cut out like a cloud, which gives space for another photomontaged image of Meena Kumari or Seema's face merged with a cloud. Towards the right of the frame on the bottom border, the credits are printed. Starting from left to right, in the first line, first comes the logo of Ranjit Films.

Next to it is the name of the film 'Akeli Mat Jaiyo' in English, which is followed by a diagonally placed black, rectangular shape. On that shape, the name of the director is printed reading 'DIRECTOR', next line 'NANDLAL JASHWANTLAL'. In the second line, beginning from the left again, the
text reads as follows. First comes 'MUSIC MADAN MOHAN PRODUCED BY GOHAR K. MAMAJIWALA & CHANDULAL SHAH LYRICS MAJROOH SULTANPURI'.
