.jpg)
Logo: TBA.
Variants:
- The trailer for the film Sultan has the logo be brown, to represent the earthy wrestling arena.
- Starting around the 2010s, the background turns white, with the exception of the glass Yash Raj logo, and "yash raj films" fades in on the white space.
FX/SFX: All in nice CGI.
Music/Sounds: The 16mm film projector sound with a dreamy sounder with some bells at the beginning, the single sitar pluck followed by the repetitive "squelching" bassline played on Roland TB-303, increasing in the low-pass filter frequency for the reminder of the logo, then some harp strums followed by the timpani roll and the reversed cymbal crash.
Availability: Seen on post-2004 releases from the company. Sometimes, it would plaster older logos, like in the case of Dil To Pagal Hai.
Editor's Note: None.
