Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Pehli Jhalak' (First Glimpse), released in the
year 1955.

by Lata Mangeshkar. The song features lead character Beena (Vyjayanthimala) in a
three quarter length view. She is dressed in the traditional style of Kathak dancers,
with a kurta, a dupatta and beautiful jewellery. In the frame, her left hand is held out
on her side, and the right hand is held over her forehead in a melancholic expression.
Her head is tilted slightly backwards and her eyes are closed, with the overall emotion
of despair/disappointment.

name of the film 'PEHLI JHALAK' (English) followed by "DIRECTOR' and "M.V. RAMAN'
