Prabhat Film Company (India)

Background
Prabhat Film Company was an Indian film production company formed by director V. Shantaram, along with V.G. Damle, Keshav Rao Dhaibar, S. Fatelal, and S. Kulkarni. It existed between 1929 and 1953, but produced films between 1929 and 1949. It was an important studio during its time.

(1932-1949)


Logo: On a grey sunburst background, a girl with a white dress is seen standing on top of a monument with a shringa (Sanskrit for "horn"). She then raises the shringa and blows on it. Like many logos from India, the company name doesn't appear.

Trivia: The concept of a girl blowing a horn during a sunrise was the idea of S. Fatelal.

FX/SFX: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: A somber melody made by a shringa with a sitar. The closing variant uses a rearrangement of this melody, which would be used on the opening of the movies produced by the company from 1945 to 1949.

Availability: Seen on several films from Prabhat from 1932 to 1949. A few examples are Aage Badho,(March Ahead), Gopal Krishna, Sant Dnyaneshwar, Hum EK Hai, and Duniya Na Mane (The Unexpected). The last film release was Sant Janna Bai. ..
