Screen Gems (Madras) (India)

Not to be confused with the Sony-owned film production and distribution studio and a television subsidiary of the same name, although they stole its name.

(1968-1971)



Logo : On a red surface, we see a defocused view of a shining emerald. The camera then focuses into view and moves behind the emerald. We then fade into another view of the red surface from before, however, there's more emeralds seen around and the yellow words "SCREEN GEMS" and "(MADRAS)" zoom into view.

FX/SFX : The shining of the emeralds, the text zooming.

Cheesy Factor : The low-budget aesthetic of the background is really obvious since they had to use live-action emeralds for the background, but the text and music are actually fine.

Music/Sounds : A dramatic string note with some mallet notes.

Availability : Seen only on Aansoo Aur Muskan.

Scare Factor : Minimal to medium. It's actually harmless, but the unsettling music and red atmosphere would get to a few.
