Aftab Pictures

(October 28, 1983-2000)
Logo: On a yellow set, we see a dark platform with something around it. The platform rotates 90 degrees to the right and reveals the dark numbers "786". Then the lightning of the set changes, making the background black and the rest of the logo revealed. There's a rectangle below the logo with "AFTAB PICTURES (P) LTD." in front.

Variant: There's an older variant, used on Balidaan and Qayamat, where the platform does the same movements, like in the normal logo. However, the set is dark and being illuminated by a purple light (a la BR FIlms). Also, there's a rectangle below the logo, with "CITIZEN PICTURES".

Technique: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: An Indian man speaking, then a short mysterious theme after the logo is revealed. On Mehndi, there's another person reciting the line.

Availability: Very rare. In addition to the movies mentioned on the "Variant" section, it's also seen on Loha, Aa Gale Lag Jaa, Qatil, Baazi, Police Officer and Mehndi.
