(2009-)
Logo: We pan through various black shapes and zoom out to reveal that the shapes are the text "MADDOCK". As we are in a comfortable distance, the "A" gets squished by the "M" and "DDOCK", turning it into a crudely-drawn star. Underneath, "FILMS" in spaced-out letters fades in letter-by-letter. The logo ends on an iris zoom-out transition which zooms into the star.

Technique: Nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: A heroic fanfare. A loud bang is heard once the "A" gets squished, and a creaking sound as the star appears. A piano is then played once each letter of "FILMS" fades in. Music/Sounds Variant: On Badlapur, the remaining last note of the Eros International fanfare is heard on the very start of the logo.

Availability: Current. First debuted on Love Aaj Kal and seen on all of their productions since then.

Legacy: While the animation may be decent, some may be surprised with the "A" being squished.
