Background

R.K. Films was an Indian Hindi-language film company founded by Indian actor and director Raj Kapoor in 1948. They have made a total of 21 films between the year of the company starting (1948) and 1999.

1st Logo (August 6, 1948)

Logo: We see a small altar with some tins surrounding it, including a candle. A flame burns in the centre of the altar. After about 30 seconds, a pair of hands throw a powder into the flame.

Trivia: The powder thrown into the fire is part of a ritual called Homa, where Hindus offer sacrifice to the fire.

FX/SFX: The fire burning, the hands throwing the powder; all live action.

Music/Sounds: A small group of men chanting in Hindi in unison.

Availability: Extremely rare, only seen on Aag.

Editor’s Note: None.

2nd Logo (April 22, 1949)

Notice: this template has been replaced by {{Guidance}} and {{Guidance detail}}

Logo: We slowly fade into a dark forest with a man sitting, legs crossed, in front of a black altar (called a Shiva Linga). There is also a shape of a Trishul (a Trident) behind the altar. Two scintillating white glares can be seen behind the man, and on the right of the altar.

FX/SFX: Live action.

Music/Sounds: A series of loud clangs with a ominous sitar throughout, followed by the man chanting in Hindi. A large choir of men can be heard chanting with the man in the background.

Availability: Extremely rare, only seen on Barsaat.

Editor’s Note: The ominous theme, along with the darkness can put people on edge, but this may be considered boring due to its long length.

3rd Logo (December 14, 1951 - January 22, 1999)

Nicknames: "The Barsaat Logo", "Pran and Reshma Statues"
