Akruti Films International

1st Logo (December 22, 1989)


Logo: We slowly zoom in through a starfield. As we continue to zoom in, the background slowly crossfades to a set of astronomical objects which includes a galaxy and the Rosette nebula. It then crossfades to a bunch of multi-colored Om symbols, and another set of multi-colored om symbols appears as we continue to zoom in. After that, we then fade to a stock space background with a starfield behind it. It goes on for 25 seconds until a yellow Om symbol wipes in, along with the company name in white wiping in below the symbol, with the word "INTERNATIONAL" being below "AKRUTI FILMS.

Technique: Cel animation and camera-controlled animation.

Audio: We first hear the sound of a horn, which then transitions to a xylophone arpeggio with bells dinging along with a droning tampura, then a man starts to sing 13 seconds in until the Om symbol appears. At the very end, we hear even more vibrant ringing of the bells with another horn when the text wipes in.

Availability: Only known to appear on Ghar Ka Chiraag.
