Janta Chitra

Logo (1959-1960)


Logo: We first see a Hindu temple. It then zooms to the doors of the temple with the company name fading in. We zoom in to what's inside the temple where we see a statue of Durga riding a tiger. We then zoom in further to the statue where it holds for 10 seconds before fading to black.

FX/SFX: The zoom-in towards the temple and the text.

Music/Sounds: A simple repeating eight note bell tune with a male chanting in Hindi.

Availability: Seen on Nache Nagin Baje Been and Kali Topi Lal Rumal.

Legacy: None.

Logo (1964-1974)


Logo: Against a smoky background with two candles faintly visible to the side, a silhouette of a different statue of Durga fades in and out a few times, getting more and more clear. Eventually, it finally fades in altogether and we slowly zoom into it. It fades out eventually. Like many Indian logos there is no indicator of the company name.

FX/SFX: The light effects, the smoke and the camera zooming into Durga. All live-action.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of thunder, and some bells accompanying a lady singing in Hindi with a trumpet fanfare playing once the flashing stops all together.

Availability: Seen on Ganga Ki Lahren, Guhanon Ka Devta, Hamara Adhikar and Gaal Gulabi Nain Sharabi.

Legacy: None.
