Saleem Productions

Background
Saleem Productions was an Indian film production company.

1st Logo (1967)


Nicknames: "Lightning Squiggles", "The Hands", "Chessy Hands", "Squiggles of Doom", "Squiggles From Hell", "Squiggly Thunderstorm"

Logo: It starts off with a thunderstorm, with the lightning being drawn like squiggles. Then we cut to footage of two people shaking hands against a black background. Then, the company name "Saleem Productions" with 3 lines under the word "Saleem fades in.

FX/SFX: The thunderstorm animation, and the hands, which are live-action, then the fading of the text.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of a thunderstorm, and then a man saying something in Hindi.

Availability: Only seen on Pyar Ki Baazi.

Legacy: The logo may be scary to some due to the lightning, but the rest is pretty much tame.

2nd Logo (1971)
Nicknames: "No Thunderstorm?", "The Hands II", "Chessy Hands II", "Hands of Doom", "Off-Killer Hands", "The Brass"

Logo: We see the hand formation from the first logo, but more dark and in close-up. The company name appears in front of the hands, and in a different font.

FX/SFX: The hands and the text.

Music/Sounds: After 2 seconds of silence, a sudden brass note is heard.

Availability: Only seen on Gehra Raaz.

Legacy: The logo is tamer without the thunderstorm, but the bass can catch someone off-guard.
