The Drums in the 'Dharma Productions' logo...

I don't know if I'm alone in this...
But, I really Love how the movie begins...
I mean, I'm not talking about the first scene even,
but the background music (and song) when the logo of the production company
"Dharma Productions" comes on screen.
Initially, they had the tune from "Kuch Kuch hota hai" running in the background when the logo appeared in previous films,
But in the new "Agneepath" that was changed, and replaced;
Now, the drums and the prayer-song (from further on in the movie)was played when the "Dharma Productions" logo appeared...
and it sounds so primal, cultural and intense.
A great and also fitting intro into the theme and the world showcased further on in the film itself.
Does anyone else think that those drums and music with the logo,
were WAY-COOL and entertaining?
:-)

I couldn't agree more. I was expecting the ol' KKHH music but the drums took me aback and I knew I was in for an intense ride. It was a great film. People need to get the hell over the fact that this is a remake of the original. It is the same story with a different, more modern interpretation.

Exactly. Thanks (for agreeing), Abhinav.
Yeah, people definitely need to get over the fact that this is a remake.
In my personal opinion (again; personal),
THE NEW (2012) AGNEEPATH ROCKS WAY BETTER THAN AMITABH'S(1990)ORIGINAL
IN ALMOST EVERY DEPARTMENT.
From music, to correct and more logic/obvious casting (Amitabh was too-old to be a 'young' Vijay Dinanath-- there was almost no age gap between him and villian-Denjongpa in orignal), to great and more realistic acting, to finer style and pomp, to fine photography and excellent editing (of both music and picture), to dialogue-- and overall filmmaking.
I Love Amitabh Bachchan and always will; but due credit is to be given where it should be given. Hritik's AGNEEPATH is a far more amazing and captivating a film than Amitabh's original.

The beautiful logo was better than the movie as a whole. ;)

Yeah that took me by surprise too. Good decision.

Hand me the rap-rod, plate captain!

I completely agree with you. The way the movie starts with this intense tune playing in the background is just amazing!

Props to whoever got this idea.
