Balakrishna Movies

(November 2, 1965-1973)
Logo: In front of a red curtain, we see a Hindu god in some sort of monument. After about five seconds, he throws a choppy-looking "beam" at the screen, and, when it disappears, BALAKRISHNA MOVIES PRESENTS appears under the monument in yellow text.

Variant: The logo was colorized in 1973.

Technique: Live action combined with hand-drawn animation.

Music/Sounds: There are two music versions:
 * On the Tamil film Thayin Karunai (1965) and Rani Mera Naam (1972), a quiet melody with a sitar.
 * On Hifazat, A loud dramatic note that is abruptly used, after almost 5 seconds of silence.

Availability: Extremely rare due to the logo being short-lived. Only seen on Thayin Karunai, Rani Mera Naam and Hifazat.
