Abirami Enterprises (India)

(June 24, 1979)


Nicknames: "Is this a Logo or an Introduction?", "1 minute and 49 seconds of talking", "The Long Testament of the Indian Logo"

Logo: In a blue room, we see an Indian statue on a table. The camera then zooms out and then zooms in to the man. It then suddenly cuts to the man.

FX/SFX: The camera zooming out from the statue and the different positions of the camera while the man is speaking.

Music/Sounds: A 4-note melody with a xylophone with some notes from a sitar. Then, the man speaks in Tamil throughout the rest of the logo. Some seconds later, while he speaks, we hear a melody with a tanpura, sitar and some other Indian instruments, which makes the logo less boring.

Availability: Seen only on Gnana Kuzhanthai.

Editor's Note: This is one of the longest film company logos of all time, clocking in at around 1 minute and 49 seconds.
