Sagar Films International

(January 1, 1998)

Logo: We see a bay with seagulls flying, all sepia toned. After 8 seconds, we see lightning strike flash on a cloudy blue background (which is stock). We then see a scene of the Indian Ocean with a few ships going by with green smoke covering the scene. We then see the same scene, but without the smoke before it pauses to reveal an on-print logo (which consists of a filmstrip in white making the letter "F" & ocean waves are seen below) flip upwards. Then the text "Sagar Film International" also in white appears below the on-print logo. Then, everything slowly fades.

Trivia: The same ship scene was also seen in the film Khofnak Mahal, which could potentially mean that the footage was stock.

Technique: Live-action, as well as 2D animation for the print logo and the text.

Music/Sounds: We first hear a squabble of seagulls making noise, which is slightly distorted. Then a thunder noise is heard, along with an echoing announcer and the sounds of wind. At the end, a loud distorted chime theme is heard.

Availability: Only seen on Pyar Ki Umang.

Legacy: The distorted & uncanny sounds, as well as the dark smoke can make this one of the scariest Indian logos. The quality is also horrible and dated for 1998 standards.
