Logo: On a blue background, we see a multicolored "star" sending it's lights changing color very rapidly. The star zooms out to unveil a gold-to-orange paper background. Then, two silhouettes of bricks zoom in diagonally from their direction, clashing into each other too soon and then reveals themselves as the abstract letters "MR" in color yellow, with it's shadow still being black. On the bottom of it, we see the text "PRODUCTIONS" on a red-black Microgramma font.

Variant: On Mehboobha, the text "PRIVATE LIMITED" in red wipes in below the word "PRODUCTIONS".

FX/SFX: Really bad and dated animation as expected from something in the 70's.

Music/Sounds: A soft tampura with low-pitched xylophones and some high-pitched bells at the begginning, and then we hear a dramatic violin solo along with trumpets and if you listen closely you can hear also a group of women singing.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On Apne Paraye, the theme has it lower-pitched.
On Zabardast, half of the violin solo is cut-off.

Availability: Uncommon. Not counting the films mentioned in the Variants and Music/Sounds section, this was also seen on Bairaag, Rajput, Safar and Samundar.

Editor's Note: None.
