Background: Vauhini Studios was a Telugu language Indian company, which made films between 1939 and 1966.


(1939-1966)

• Opening variant: We see a coast in the sunset. Suddenly, a drawing of a girl holding a torch and riding a pegasus, below a set of mountains,appears from the lower part of the coast. The mountains then scroll down to show:

VAUHInI

Pictures Ltd.

presents

• Closing variant: On a dark background (or the closing background of the movie), there's a circle where we read "VAUHINI PICTURES, LTD · MADRAS ·", "THEVAUHINI PICTURES, LTD · MADRAS ·", "VAUHINI PICTURES (PRIVATE) LTD · MADRAS ·", depending of the movie. Inside the circle, we see the girls with the torch above the pegasus.

Trivia: That background of the sea, and the way everything appears in the drawing, is taken from the intro of the first film of this company: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHPoh0jSBtc" target="_self">Vande Mataram</a>.

Variant: In the company's future films, the part in which the text appears is cut out, but it appears very briefly and is cut rather cheapily in Bhakta Potana.

FX/SFX: The drawing of the Goddess riding the pegasus with the mountains.

Music/Sounds:

Availability: Seen on films like Vandee Mataram, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHURxBhEDbo" target="_self">Bhakta Potana</a>, and<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnVaqr1sq9U" target="_self">Rangula Ratman</a>.
