Aanandam Arts

(1982)

Nicknames: "Sham Ralhan Productions' Even Scarier Uncle", "Aarti Pictures' Long Lost Grandfather"

Logo: On a black background, there's a white flare illuminating to the right-center. The space background is seen appearing, along with the moon. The thunderstorms appear flashing. They disappear to show the moon in a space background. The screen stands still while the announcer says something in Hindi. The background turns red and the stars disappear, leaving the moon. "Aanandam aRts" in a comedy font suddenly appears below the moon. "PRESENTS" zooms in. The rest of the logo wipes out as the movie starts to play.

FX/SFX: 2-D animation.

Music/Sounds: The same lyra fanfare as Aarti Pictures, but with the sounds of thunder and the glass breaking. The announcer says "The bangles have been removed and the gun is held. (pause as the gunshot is heard) The emotions are suppressed. This is that power which has bowed down the world." in Hindi. When he finishes, another gunshot is heard. A dramatic sinister fanfare is heard, which segues to the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Seen only on Taqaat, which proceeds to the Seema Enterprises logo.

Editor's Note: None.
