Aftab Pictures

Logo (October 28, 1983-February 11, 2000)
Visuals: On a yellow set, we see a dark platform with something around it. The platform rotates 90 degrees to the right and reveals the dark numbers "786". Then the lightning of the set changes, making the background black and the rest of the logo revealed. There's a rectangle below the logo with "AFTAB PICTURES (P) LTD." in front.

Variant: There's an older variant, used on Balidaan and Qayamat, where the platform does the same movements, like in the normal logo. However, the set is dark and being illuminated by a purple light (a la BR FIlms). Also, there's a rectangle below the logo, with "CITIZEN PICTURES".

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: An Indian man saying "नूर-ए-हक़ शम्मे इलाही को बुझा सकता है कौन, जिसका हामी हो ख़ुदा उसको मिटा सकता है कौन, then a short mysterious lyre theme after the logo is revealed. On Mehndi, there's another person reciting the line.

Availability: In addition to the movies mentioned on the "Variant" section, it's also seen on Loha, Aa Gale Lag Jaa, Izzat, Qatil, Baazi, The Don, Police Officer and Mehndi.
