Then, the drawing zooms and fades and appears by zooming the border of Karnataka (an Indian state). Suddenly, we see the face of a male (inside the border of Karnataka) smiling and showing his teeth while he's roaring like a lion (a la MGM Lion). While that happens, below the face of the guy some text in Kannada appears (ದ್ವಾರಕೀಶ್ಚಿತ್ರ). After that, the guy laughs out loud, and it disappears.Trivia: The man in the logo is Dwarakish.Variants:On Singaporenalli Raja Kulla, a red and blue negative color is used.Prachanda Kulla: On a dark background, we see a drawing of the India. Then the background turns blue and the India appears with the different states in different colors. There's a zoom into the state of Karnataka. Then, the color yellow of the state and the blue of the background become in black, while the border of Karnataka turns yellow. We see inside it a shot of Dwarakish (older than the the other logos, and he's not yellow) in a circular spot inside Karnataka smiling, roaring and doing a military salute instead of laughing, and appears a different text in Kannada.FX/SFX: The drawing of South Asia, the zoom out, the face of Dwarakish.Music/Sounds: A loud trumpet fanfare before it transcends to a 5-note xylophone followed by sitar tune. During the sitar sequence, Dwarakish roars like a lion twice as mentioned before. After that, he laughs hysterically. Vishnuvardhana uses a computer sound with the music of the logo, meaning the Hindustan is being drawn.Music/Sounds variant: On <a href="https://youtu.be/_k0i4YtXqrw?t=111" target="_self">Vishnuvardhana</a>, the zaps and whooshes sound is used on the drawing of the India and zooms in.Availability: Can be found on movies like Mayor Muthanna,<a href="https://youtu.be/n56WOVDw7bE?t=74" target="_self">Jai Karnataka</a>,Singaporenalli Raja Kulla, Kulla Pulli, and others.Editor's Note: This logo is one of the longest-running film logos of all time, being used for around 50 years, possibly due to the simplicity.2nd Logo(1977)Logo: TBAFX/SFX: The background, the globe rotating, the lights and the flag waving.Music/Sounds: A sharp fanfare, made with trumpet, drum, and a small portions of violin.
