Suchitra Films

Logo (1970)
Logo: We see 2 flares from 2 candles and a what appears to be a red window and a black square, on a wall. A light illuminates from above to reveal a icon of Venkateswara, a form of the Hindu god Vishnu, near some flowers. The wall becomes blue. The logo stays still for 28 seconds before fading out. The company name doesn't appear.

FX/SFX: The light illuminating and the candle flares moving.

Music/Sounds: A choir of women and men singing the first 2 lines of the Suprabhatam, accompanied by a sitar tune.

Availability: Only seen on Mastana.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo (1971-1985)
Logo: Same concept, except with major differences:

• The icon is replaced by a statue of Venkateswara

• It zooms out instead of staying still, to reveal the statue is in a location that looks like a palace room (à la Dhandayuthapani Films' last logo)

• There are now 10 candles

• A small black pedestal with the text "SUCHITRA" is below the statue

Then, the camera zooms into the bottom of the statue.

Variants: Dushman and Dost had the company name and "PRESENTS" in red appear after the camera zooms into the bottom of the statue. On Imaan Dharam, the statue of Venkateshwara is different, there are 4 candles instead of 10 (2 of those looking entirely different from those used in the normal version of the logo), and the logo is on a pedestal with the text "SUCHITRA".

FX/SFX: All live action.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Music/sounds Variant: On Imaan Dharam the choir singing is followed by a short orchestral tune.

Availability: Seen on Dushmun, Dost, Imaan Dharam, Majboor, and Jawaab.

Editor's Note: None.
