Nickname: "Super Star Rajni"
Logo: On a black background, the text "SUPER STAR" is seen writing itself. Once the text is complete, three-dimensional gold letters such as "R", "A", "J", "N", and "I", are seen flying itself by letter-by-letter. "RAJNI" zooms backward to put a place between "SUPER" and "STAR". It flashes itself. The text zooms out and the Tamil translation does the same motion as before. It flashes the same as before.
FX/SFX: Pretty cool 2D Indian traditional animation.
Music/Sounds: The movie's theme song with people constantly cheering "Hey!". The sound of a laser from Star Wars is played when "RAJNI" flies in letter-by-letter, along with it zooming in backwards and it flashing by itself.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On Veera, a synth fanfare is heard instead, along with whooshes.
- On Sathya Movies' HD remaster of Baashha, the music is dubstep-remixed with whooshes being replaced with sparkles.
Availability: Seen on some movies from the period, starting with Annamalai.
Editor's Note: None.
