Dwarakish Chirta (1969 - present)

Description

Nicknames: "Indian Face From Hell", "The Roaring/Laughing Indian Man", "Dwarakish's Face", "Karnataka's Nightmare Face", "Stretch Films' Indian Grandfather", "India's Even More Human Twist On MGM" - Logo: On a dark background, we see that it's being drawn the external borders of the countries of former British Raj (present day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka). 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. 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/Cheesy Factor: The drawing of South Asia, the zoom out, the face of Dwarakish. This is about to run 50 years soon, which is absolutely baffling, due to the logo's simplicity. 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 Vishnuvardhana, 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,Jai Karnataka,Singaporenalli Raja Kulla, Kulla Pulli, and others. Scare Factor: Medium to nightmare for most of the variants. Dwarakish's loud sounds, roaring and laughing, can scare and surprise a number of people. The happy sitar theme accompanying it also affects the unintentional weird nature of it. High to nightmare if the logo uses a darker background. Nightmare for the use of the negative colors in Singaporenalli Raja Kulla. It'll get more than the normal variant, and it's a total eyesore. Medium for the Prachanda Kulla variant. The different design, tamer compared to the previous logos, isn't as weird, in addition of the militar salute while Dwarakish's laugh is heard.
