Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Laila', released in the year 1954.

The image is of a young woman (possibly Kammo) dancing in a clear area on the floor. Her arms are spread wide with her right arm slightly above her shoulder and her left below her shoulder. Her palms are facing down with her fingers spread in a sort of pyramid shape. She is wearing an ornamented outfit along with a necklace and earrings, and a hat. Behind her are two men playing chess, some plants and another table and chairs set up with a teapot on it. Behind them is what looks like a wall with a mural of some buildings painted on it.

Bottom right corner has text that reads (from top to bottom), 'Shah Picture PRESENTS' 'Laila' (in Devanagari, then in English, and then in Urdu), followed by 'PRODUCED BY RAMNIKLAL N. SHAH', and 'DIRECTED BY Naseem SIDDIQUI'.
