Chitralaya

(January 26, 1962-May 1, 1986)

Logo: On a sunset background, we see a boat from the front, on a lake with some plants. Then, the boat turns 90 degrees to show us a statue of a man paddling and a woman posing. On the boat we read "CHITHRALAYA", which is reflected in the water, along with the boat and the statues.

Variants:

On its early years, the logo is slightly different and in black and white.
On its Tamil language films released by the same company, "CHITHRALAYA"´ is in Tamil. In addition, in some of these movies, the background is different, the text is in red, and the camera shoots the same logo from a higher angle.

Technique: Live action.

Music/Sounds: A melody made by a flute.

Music/Sounds Variant: The Tamil variant uses 2 lyre glissandos heard at the start and end of the logo.
