Act 1, Scene 1
Ambience: dark with a dim light at the end of the room.
Props required: kaali murti with all accessories , stone sacrificial table, white ghamcha/cloth
Characters: Bose Babu (Ehsan), Peasant (Swagato), 2 chela
Camera Position: 25mtr apart from the Idol. Focus on Bose babu leg and chappal.

Takla Aadmi Sir jhuka raha hai.

Starting the light and action, we enter the dark and dimmed warehouse with a light shining in the background and
keeping with the pace of the camera we start moving forward.
The focus is on Bose Babu’s sandals, where we are showing him performing his prayers to kali maa and is chanting
mantras.
We now shift the focus from the puja to the people coming from the background.
Swagato and 2 chelas enter the scene. Swagato is being dragged by the 2 chelas from his shoulders and they go
towards the sacrificial stone/table and gets thrown over it. Swagato’s face is all covered in Blood and Sweat.

Focus is now back at Bose Babu and we start with his legs gradually moving towards his upper body.
We are yet to reveal his face.
Bose Babu completes his prayer and starts moving towards Swagato.
The camera is moving along with his leg and as he advances, the camera focus shifts from his legs to the bloody face
of Swagato who is lying ahead on the sacrificial stone.
The devilish background musing is playing here.
After a small walk, Bose Babu comes near Swagato and squats down. In that scene, we show half of his face as he
snarls by looking at Swagato. Bose Babu walks towards Swagato chanting his mantras.

Bose Babu:
“ 4 saal se sukha para hai, 4 saal sel.
Mone hoi, Maa rege ache. Ab Maa ko kush to karna hoga aur Meri Maa ko kush karne ke liye mujhe pata hai kya
karna hai. Tui Jaanish ota ki? Kehte hai bali jab bhi do humesha dil se deni chahiye aur Maa ko dil se zada aur kya
kush kar sakta hai?! Aur tu unme se hai, jin hone mujhe mere dil se door kiya, to aaj tera Dil se hi mai, maa ke dil tak
pahuchunga. ”
Swagato:
“ Nai, Nai Bose Babu. Khoma kore dao. Khoma kore dao”
Bose Babu:
“Khoma Kore dao. Vo kya hota hai. Insaan ko khoma karna to hum 4 saal pehle hi chor diye. Ab to sirf Maa ko kush
karna hai.”
One of the Chelas brings the weapon to kill Swagato. Bose take the weapon and bring Swagato’s ear close to him and
starts chanting mantras.
Swagato is in tears and says
“Khoma Babu, Khoma……”

Camera position: Starting from bose heels and sandal with a 15* degree angle,right feet is visible and left is 35%.
Focus is on Bose’s sandals and camera moves up.
Focus is now on Bose’s thigh and swagato’s face is blurred.
Focus then shifts to Swagato’s face and the thigh is blur.
Bose throws him down on his back to the ground and stabs his chest and tries piercing it. Bose rips his chest apart
and smashes Swagato’s chest with the back of the knife. His white ghamcha gets soaked in blood and bloods drips
down his hand and the floor is all bloody.
We show a monster in Bose Babu as he smashes Swagato’s chest with the back of the knife. His face is all covered in
blood. The 2 chelas in the back are horrified as they see their Head/boss in such a wild rage. Bose keeps on smashing
the chest and his hand gets submerged/vanishes in Swagato’s chest as it bursts and Bose Babu’s hand stops.
Swagato lies dead with his neck and chest covered in blood.
Bose Babu takes out his hand with Swagato’s heart still live and beating. There is a moment of pause and the focus
which was on 2 Chela’s face now shifts back to Bose Babu’s hand who starts walking back towards Kali Maa’s Murti
and is holding Swagato’s heart in his hand.
Bose Babu stands in front of Maa’s Murti and raises his hand up high towards Murti. His head is down till now. Blood
is dripping from his hand, vo Chuu ke bose ke watch me girta hai and he raises his head.
We now show his face, covered in blood and his eyes are red and expresses his anger and happiness.
Bose Babu:
“Aee Maa. Dhonnobad Maa. Dhonnobad. 4 saal se tune mujhe iss din ke liye tayyar kiya aur aaj vo din aahi gaya.
Ye le Maa, ye le. Teri liye dil, tere liye bali, teri kushi aur meri intekaam ki pehli seedi”

Blackout.

Scene 2: Introduction of Chowdhary Family

A drone view of White Ambassador being driven towards a big white mansion.
The Name plates outside the gates of Mansion, reads “Chowdhary’s”. Gates are open and the car enters with 2-3
chelas following the car. The driveway is big and can accommodate more than 10 cars. On both the sides of the
driveway, there is a green lawn. On the left side, there is a dog house from where 2 German Shepherds leap out and
follow the car and on the right side in the center of the lawn there are benches kept with a small round table with a
shed above (for adda).
As the car reaches the front of the mansion entrance, men/chelas wait outside. Door of the car open and 2 men step
outside the car.
Focus is now shifted to the one who comes out from the right side, wearing Off-white shirt and pant, tall and
muscular with curled moustache. His demeanor outclasses everyone around and has a different charm and
acceptance to it. All the Chelas around look up to him with respect and pride. He is the eldest son of the family who
runs a transport company and is very dynamic and powerful. He looks at the other end and waiting for the other
person to come around and now the focus is shifted to the one on the other end.
A young man near the age of 25-27 steps outside the car. He is wearing an Army uniform and black aviators.
Trimmed beard and ripped body, fitting the uniform. He walks with shoulders up high with a sense of pride and
honor, like a soldier should have. He walks around the car and stand alongside his elder brother and then they both
moves towards the entrance.
The camera shows their back and the camera slowly moves inside the house where we see a man sitting in the
middle of the courtyard on a rocking chair with newspaper in hand. The man is Siraj Jibreel Chowdhary, head of the
family and a very powerful and an influential Zamindar.
2 children are playing in the courtyard in front of him, aged 5(girl) and 10(boy).

how proud he was of his 2 sons. The camera now shifts to 2 brothers entering the house.

Chowdhary mansion. Long Pillars, white walls, animal hides and bodies for showcase, guns and a big family photo.
Mr. Chowdhary, who is still sitting, calls his wife,” Pushpa, are o Pushpa. Ektu ekhane aashbe?!”
2 kids playing runs towards their uncle who came after a long time. They leap into his arms and he kisses them.
Both the son, stand in front of Mr. Chowdhary and the younger one comes a step forwards and hugs him.

traditionally. We see the boss lady, Mrs. Chowdhary, who is giving direction to seravants as lunch Is about to ge set
and response to Mr. Chowdhary, “Aree Aschi…”
She leaves the kitchen, giving the control and direction to her daughter-in-law, wife of the eldest son.
As she comes out of the kitchen in the grand room/lobby/drawing room, where Mr. Chaudhary is, She is delighted to
see her 2 sons, more on seeing his younger son who came from Army after serving a long time.
She rushes towards him and hugs him, showing her motherly love.

Boy: Kaka, kaka, next time ab jab jaoge to mujhe bhi apne sath lekar chalna.
Farhan: haa haa kyu nahi. Bharat mata ko tumhjaise hi 9 jawan veero ki to zaroorat hai….
Brother: Aur border ka kya khabar hai?
Farhan: Border me to abhi pehle jaisa hi hai, kabhi shanti to kabhi safdhaani. Lekin pehle se abhi thora aaram hai,
lekin saha ka dabdaba abhi bhi hai.
