Surel Chitra

(1959-1965, 1975, 1984)


Logo: On a grey background, we see a drum set on the right, a tampura on the centre and a microphone on the left. 11 seconds later, we see a woman fading it with a sun-like accessory on her head, seemingly playing something. All throughout the logo, we see smoke

FX/SFX: Live action, except for the woman fading in.

Music/Sounds: A man singing in Hindi whilst a tampura played in the background of it. Later, a woman sings.

Availability: Seen on Shikleli Baiko, Kanyadaan, Manasala Pankh Astat, Baykocha Bhau, Laxmi Aali Ghara, Gruhadevta and Thoratanchi Kamala. All them can be seen on YouTube.

Editor's Note: Interestingly, despite their last film (as we know at least) was released in 1984, the film was still in B&W. This was heavily outdated even at the time as studios moved to colour films during the 60s and 70s and by the 80s (when this film was released), almost all films have been released in colour.
