Bollywood – its still a strange place. We still dont have any concept of “script readers” and giving feedback to a filmmaker means “you are supposed to say only good things” about his film. And everyone has become so protective about the first look of their film, that passing on the script for feedback is an impossible dream.
We decided to check if the other way can work out. One of us wrote a script for a short film (3-4 mins) and we are putting the script here. Good, bad, fugly, whatever – do let us know in the comment section. Help us decide – should we make it, throw it in the dustbin or better, use it as toilet paper. And its just 3 pages, so please read on.
See if this makes any sense because we have been told it didn’t made so, to many.
BUM-CHUM
INT. XXX – DAY
ECU of a man’s face. He is lying on a bed.
Initially little nervous, he tries to bend his head little backward, turns back to starting position. Closes his eyes, mumbles few prayers. Suddenly he smiles, opens his eyes as if something unexpected happening to him, then again closes his eyes and giving an orgasmic expression. He seems to enjoy it. The expression keeps on changing from one extreme to other.
With a loud noise, the screen goes black out.
INT. HOUSE – DAY
A lean, thin man with receding hairline is busy playing a game on his mobile. Seems he just lost it. With a sigh, he looks up. Into the camera.
MAN (looks up – into camera)
……aur kya, bijli gul. Pehli baar ushey aise hi mila tha. Uska chehra bhi nahi dekha.
INT. HOUSE – DAY
WOMAN (into the camera)
Par maine dekhi thi…..picche se. Bilkul paas se (smiles). Bachpan ki bimaari hai…..(breaks into a hysterical laugh )
INT. HOUSE – DAY
A fat kid (girl – 9-10 years) on a dining table by herself and eating cornflakes.
WOMAN (VO)
Jo bhi khati, wahin atak jaati. Na pet me pachti, na bahar nikalti.
EXT. ROAD – MORNING
We see the fat kid from the back, going to school, with a heavy bag on her back and her big bum. A water bottle hanging on her right side.
A young guy riding a cycle crosses her, tries to hit her bum with his waterbottle and shouts out.
GUY
Oye Bum–per…kuch pump—kar!
The handle of the bottle breaks, falls down. The girl smiles, sits on it suddenly, the bottle breaks with a loud sound.
The guy looks back at her. The girl seems very happy.
GIRL
…Pump kiya…teri bottle ko.
The guy shakes his head and leaves on his cycle.
INT. HOUSE – DAY
Another kid, 9-10 years old boy, is trying to buckle up the school belt. Standing in front of the mirror, he is dressed up in school uniform. Only trying to fix up the belt. He moves his back towards the mirror and looks at his bum. There is almost nothing. It’s all flat. The pant hangs loosely and looks bad. He pulls the pant from both sides with his hand to make it look tighter to his bum.
MAN (VO)
Aur mere ko Chamcha bulate they. Kisi ki chaati nahi kabhi, bus gaand me dum nahi tha, matlab dum to tha bus gaand hi nahi thi. Chamach jaisa. Short me Chum!
The kid put his left hand on his bum and tries to figure out the curve of his bum…he moves the hand, still in that small curve form, to the front and places it in a position that covers Pamela Anderson’s bum. He is comparing the size.
A pic of Pamela Anderson in swimsuit, still from Baywatch, is placed in one corner of the mirror.
INT. HOUSE – DAY
MAN (into the camera)
Jab isse doorsi baar milne gaya. Tab bhi chehra nahi dekh paya. Waise hi…aao let jao, bhagwan ka naam lo aur intezaar karo….ki is baar Bijli corporation ki meherbani rahe….
INT. XXXX – DAY
ECU of a man’s face
He is lying on a bed. Closes his eyes, mumbles few prayers. Suddenly he smiles, opens his eyes as if something unexpected happening to him, then again closes his eyes and giving an orgasmic expression. He seems to enjoy it. The expression keeps on changing from one extreme to other.
INT. HOSPITAL – DAY
WOMAN (VO)
Aur mere pe tabhi jadoo sa hua.
The woman smells something in the air. Takes a deep breath in. Almost bliss. She takes a Man’s pant, which is hanging in one corner of the room, slyly puts her hand in one of the pockets, and finds something, smiles, tries to cover up her expression. Gets out of the room with a packet in hand.

Ek baar call kiya…..do baar call kiya…..phir last baar…
The Woman is making call through her mobile.
We hear the sound of mobile vibration. The camera tilts down to show that the guy has kept his mobile just under his crotch, it’s in silent vibration mode and as it vibrates, giving a ticklish feeling and he is enjoying it. He pulls out the mobile from under the crotch and takes the call.

Synopsis – Its a story about two people, their weird nature, how they meet thrice and finally fall for each other. She is a doctor. And he needs to get his colonscopy done. She does it right, only at the third time. And they are narrating their experiences. The hospital setting, colonoscopy factor is not revealed from the start. So, its mostly in close ups and location is marked as XXX in the script.
Also, he could not sleep the night before because one is suppose to drink a liquid mixed with any lemonade that cleans your system completely. You almost remain on the shitpot every few minutes.
