Manish Films

1st Logo (July 1, 1981)


Logo: We see on a dark room a supposed big circle. When the candle, above the table, is turned up, we see that the big circle is part of a statue; the statue is a Goddess with lots of weapons (sword, bow and arrows, tridents...) in her arms, and riding a tiger. Below the statue we see yellow flowers and one red rose and other pink one, which are behind the candle. All that mentioned before is above a table with red altar roth. Suddenly, we see "MANISH FILMS" zooming in after appearing with a blur effect.

Trivia: This woman is Durga, the Goddess of Victory of Good over Evil.

Technique: The candle turned up and the text blurring in.

Music/Sounds: After 4 seconds of silence, we hear a very ominous orchestra fanfare which gets more sinister towards the ending. The same fanfare plays during the beginning of the opening credits of the film.

Availability: Rare. Only seen on Paanch Qaidi.

2nd Logo (1985, 1989)
JXTub8qP0_g x4ZTGz2KX-Q Logo: We see a different statue of Durga on a tiger, but now on a podium on a stage or something like that (instead on a dark room). Then the text "MANISH FILMS" fades under the goddess.

Variant: In Meri Zabaan, the lights are white and illuminate intensely, and the text appear in a blur effect, like the previous logo. The text also says "MANISH MOVIES" instead of "MANISH FILMS"

Technique: The red lights turning up slowly and the fade-in of the text.

Music/Sounds:
 * Maa Kasam: A relaxing flute melody, which is followed by other chord instrument.
 * Meri Zabaan: A fragment from the Sham Ralhan Pictures logo music, which would be used lately by Baldevjiu Productions and Kalamat Productions.

Availability: The Manish Movies variant is seen on Meri Zabaan and the original Manish Films variant is seen on Maa Kasam.

Logo (October 12, 2001)

Music/Sounds: A happy melody made by a synth.
