Ralhan Productions

Note: Not to be confused with Sham Ralhan Productions.

Background
Ralhan Productions Pvt. Ltd. was an Indian movie production company founded by Indian film director O.P. Ralhan, which made several hit movies between the 1960s to the 1980s.

1st Logo (January 1, 1963)
Logo: On a dark setting, we see a statue of a person holding a torch with two hands and leaning against a giant R. Below the structure, The company's name appears to be there, with the word "RALHAN" in a cartoonish-like font, and the word "PRODUCTIONS" in a different font, and in a smaller size. The logo then transitions to main movie.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: A single brass note.

Availability: Rare, only seen in Gehra Daag.

2nd Logo (August 14, 1966-1983)
Logo: On a dark background, we see two pink spotlights moving away each other at the beginning, what's in front of the spotlights appears to be a dark silhouette of a statue we saw in the 1st Logo. When the spotlights reach towards each other, the torch lights up on its own, revealing the same statue wfrom the previous. Lastly, the company's name in pink appears from the bottom and zooms out until it fits the screen. Once again, the word "RALHAN" is in a cartoonish-like font, and the word "PRODUCTIONS" is in a normal-looking font. The logo then fades to black.

Variants: All of the variants have different tints due to film conditions.

Technique: Live-action for the background and cel animation for the text.

Music/Sounds:  A guitar tune for the beginning, a quiet shrill string tune plays when the torch is lit up, and it ends with a note being held by brass instruments.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Hulchul: A repetitive high-pitched lyre sound at the beginning, followed by notes of a vibraphone, then a shrill string ditty plays. It gets constantly louder and louder until the text zooms out, where a proud 3-note fanfare plays.
 * Bandhe Haathg, Paapi and Pyaas: Some lyre strums which is played throughout the whole logo. When the text zooms out, a different yet less ear-piercing version of the 3-note fanfare plays.
 * Maari Bena: Same as the Hulchul variant, but the 2nd note is abrputly cut out.

Availability: Uncommon, the original version can be spotted on Phool Aur Phattar and Talash. The rest can be seen in the aforementioned Hulchul, Bandhe Haath, Paapi, Maari Bena and Pyaas.

Legacy: This logo is well known for Indians due to it having some hit movies during the time, up to this day.
