Logo[]
(1968-1976): We see a statue of two kids holding a flag which contains Maruti drawn on it. "SM" and "SURESH MOVIES" are seen stacked on top of this statue. There are quite a lot of searchlights moving around and smoke is working its way throughout the bottom.
Variant[]
A few movies had the logo shortened before the last note of the fanfare plays.
Music/Sounds[]
- A dramatic sustained string chord and a cacophonous drum while being followed with a high-pitched string note.
- Sepoy Chinnaiah uses the Vijaya Productions music.
Scare Factor[]
- Original: Medium to nightmare. The darkness, the added smoke/searchlights and the eerie, ominous music, among others, might startle and scare some people who are unaware.
- With the Vijaya theme: Low to medium. While the darkness, the smoke/searchlights might still be an issue, at least the music is much less creepy.
