Background
R.K. Films was an Indian Hindi-language film company founded by Indian actor and director Raj Kapoor.
1st Logo (August 6, 1948)
Logo: We see a small altar with some tins surrounding it, including a candle. A flame burns in the center 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)
 | This logo and/or capture may be too loud for comfortable viewing.
Please ensure your volume is turned down before watching videos of this logo. |
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 (1950-1999)
Nicknames: "The Barsaat Logo", "Pran and Reshma Statues"
TBA.
