Mahmood Productions

(November 29, 1968)


Nickname: "Mehboob, you've got competition"

Logo: Under a dark, cloudy sky, we see a silhouette of a structure with the company name, MAHMOOD PRODUCTIONS, with layers of real clouds scattering around it. After a few seconds, lightning bolts strike the structure and the silhouette gradually fades, revealing the company name.

Technique: The clouds forming around the structure, lightning striking, and the reveal. All live action.

Music/Sounds: Wind howling, followed by 2 loud thunderclaps and a male announcer speaking in Hindi (the same line as Sultan Productions).

Availability: Rare. This was only seen on Padosan.

Editor’s Note: The darkness at the beginning of the logo would haunt unexpected viewers, although the animation ends up calmer afterwards.
