Background

Dharma Productions Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian production and distribution company established by Yash Johar in 1979. It was taken over in 2004 after his death by his son Karan Johar. Based in Mumbai, it mainly produces and distributes Hindi films. In November 2018, a new sector of the company was created called Dharmatic, which will focus on producing digital content for online distribution platforms.

2nd Logo (December 14, 2001-August 11, 2006)

3rd Logo (November 14, 2008-)


Visuals: Over a dark red and yellow background, multiple transparent, yellow stylized sunbeams appear moving in a circle, forming a rotating sun. Larger sunbeams are visible in the background, moving in a similar way, and the large, faded yellow letters "DHARMA" are shown sliding from the right to the left. The sun moves away from the camera and towards the left center of the screen, stopping as the text "DHARMA PRODUCTIONS" appears in yellow letters. The screen slowly darkens as it fades out.

  • On Bhoot: Part One, the logo is reworked. It starts with a camera panning across the dark interior of a ship, with lights flickering on and off. After moving past a "no smoking" notice and a fire extinguisher, a door with a smashed window is shown, before it opens to reveal two red eyes in darkness. After this, the Dharma Productions logo is shown, with the sun being a drawing on a piece of paper and the text being scratched into the wall, with someone's hand shown making the finishing scratch.

Technique: CGI.
