BALAKRISHNA MOVIES PRESENTS appears under the monument in yellow text.

FX/SFX: Pretty much a live-action shot edited with hand-drawn animation. The logo was colorized starting in 1973.

Music/Sounds:

 * On Hifazat, A loud dramatic note that is abruptly used, after almost 5 seconds of silence.

Availability: Seen on Thayin Karunai and Hifazat.

Editor's Note: The god's hand throwing the "beam" may catch viewers off guard, especially on Hifazat, where the loud accompanying fanfare makes it look very surprising. Others may not be affected by this.
