He follows them quietly but something rash happens the speeding car is crashed with other two cars in a crossroad.

THE SAVIOR

Police officer Mani is taking breakfast when he receives his call from his client he talks to him casually first then he talks to him in a serious tone then we find that he is his superior to Mani and he is talking about something which no one understand. Mani says that he will meet his client’s agent outside his office at 11. So waits for his client’s agent as fixed. A Mercedes parks near a restaurant and a foreigner waves his hand coming out of his car. Mani understands the wave and follows him in the restaurant. In the restaurant they talk casual and order some delicacies. But after sometime they become professional and Martin (the foreigner) gives him an envelope which has a portrait and address and some money. He also gets a packet of himself. They depart and Mani goes to his office signs on some forms and takes the day off whereas Martin stays there for a while but when is ready to leave he is called by Mr. Shahi.
Getting a leave in the office he goes to Dev’s apartment with the envelope and handles the envelope to the receptionist reciting that he is busy and cannot go to his room. The receptionist calls Dev and Dev asks receptionist to give the receiver to Mani. They talks for a while and then saying Dev that he is very busy goes to his home. At home his wife is ready with his small children to go for a movie. He takes them to the movie where he bullies the ticket counter manager and gets tickets free of cost. He then takes them for a nice dinner in a restaurant during that time he gets calls several time. He talks going away and then comes back again and again. His wife is frustrated with his usual nature of going away whenever anyone calls. Thus she asks him to switch off his mobile which he smilingly declines. She doesn’t quarrel as she understands that smile is the fear of switching off the mobile and aftermath. They spend the day happily but without full attention from Mani as he is taking his job in his mobile but due to his habit everyone understands it so they are habitual of it.

At 2 a.m. in Mani’s watch and he gets an urgent call from one of his client. Mani gets an urgent call from one of his clients.

He enters in sees the pub full but in one of the table he sees a man sitting alone. He goes there asks, “Can I sit here sir?” The man who was sitting there gives him permission then he sits down and orders two large pegs of vodka. Brij gulps the vodka without stopping. The other man who is drinking suspects something fishy with the boy thus he tries to talk to him. First he shows no desire to talk but as soon as whisky takes affect in him and he goes tipsy he vomits all that had happened that day to the man but takes name of his friend’s name in his deeds.
In added while being drunk he opens his wallet and shows the photo and tells him how due to poverty their parents died and his two brothers were departed in the search for life of their own. Tears flow like lather from Bibek’s eyes who was the man listening to Brij. He tells that there was emotional touch in the story so his tears came out. Brij then explains he had come to the city to search for his brothers but says that he didn’t find them. They take few more pegs of vodka Bibek consoles him and asks him to go home and don’t take tension. He goes away and Bibek remembers the scene of the morning where one of his bullets had missed and was sure that his missed bullet had hit the woman whose story today Brij had said. Bibek then opens his wallet and then taking a peg sees his wallet’s photo and there is the same old photo which was in the Bibek’s wallet. He too remembers how they had departed and how their father died but had to control himself as he had known that he was the man who had made him in this trouble. Drunken Brij drives without knowing where he is driving. He cannot control his steering and then the car becomes out of control he now stops to see and when he presses brake the car slides and is crashed.

He hurries to the area where he was called and sees horrific scene. There are five corpses lying in the road and one is severely injured. A doctor and a boy are helping the injured man and Brij who is unconscious and is the driver of one of the car crashed. Dev (helping boy) splashes some water in Brij and slowly he gets consciousness. While Dev takes out his handkerchief his wallet falls and opens wide. There is a photograph of Brij’s family. He inquires Dev and Dev says that it was of his family which was lost due to poverty. Brij doesn’t say that he is one of the pictures in his family photo because he knows that he has just been involved in a crime of throwing corpse and sooner or later he would be behind bars. Brij realizes that his feet is aching but doesn’t complain but asks leave from Dev. He sees police approaching to one of the guy in the place and gets nervous.

The car which has taken Saurav Shahi is not in control as strong Saurav is trying to escape even after being so drunk. He tries to get control over steering and tries to confuse them where they are driving. The car wasn’t in control of the driver and being hit several times too the strong Saurav wasn’t fainted. His force in steering showed and his car crashed with two other cars one was driven recklessly like Saurav’s car.

Just after the crash Bibek parks his car where he was following Mr. Shahi. And sees Brij too involved in the crash and sees two old fellas crashed and there are five people in Mr. Shahi’s car including Mr. Shahi he sees in the road there is couple coming for help he knows he doesn’t have time. Takes out his silencer pistol shoots four of the people who kidnapped Shahi and calls inspector Mani.
It was Bibek who had called Mani at 2 in the evening. As soon as Mani gets Bibek’s call he reaches the site before any other police officers. He sees site where the three cars are crashed. Bibek explains that he had to kill the injured four to save Mr. Saurav Shahi as they were kidnapping him for some reasons. Mani who ahs been working for Bibek for long time mourns. Then he asks for money and promises that he would make report that after crash these four died in a cross fire. Bibek says that he hadn’t called Mani for only this but there is another reason. Mani is amazed at his tone because Bibek never thinks of other and now he was telling something pointing at the unconscious Brij. He says that he wants his name and Brij to be placed in the dead list. When he asks for the reason for showing favor to the unknown man Bibek says that he wants to leave the country and to erase his stain he must have to die in paper first but doesn’t say why he wants to save Brij. Dev and his girlfriend who had seen the crash and had run to help are cleaning the wounded two old people. One man who is half conscious is asking where Aslam is. Dev says that he is not conscious but alive. He and Shalini are giving first aid to the patients. Mani interrupts them and asks them to go further at that time Dev sees Brij’ purse falling and then goes to pick it up he sees an old photo of three brothers. He keeps it back and goes out of the scene thinking that he had seen that photo somewhere.
Mani calls ambulance and lets Bibek to take Brij’s unconscious body before ambulance arrive. Bibek gives him a cheque of 20 lakhs for that job done. Ambulance arrive other police force too gather to click the photo of those dead.
Bibek takes Brij in his car and admits him in a hospital too. Bibek calls his girlfriend and asks her if everything is ready she replies positive and he asks her to move to the airport she asks if the work was done he gives positive answer.
There Dev while walking with Shalini still thinking about the photo that he had seen. They stop for tea and when he takes his wallet out it is there he sees the same photo and is sure that he is one of the three faces and the other faces among the three were patient he had seen. He beats his head.
Next day Brij opens his eyes and sees someone has kept a photo in his pillow and gone he sees the photo it’s the old photo that he has in the wallet he checks his wallet the photo was still there thus in excitement he asks his doctor who left the photo. Doctor says that the person who had brought him here had left the photo and when he asks what was he like doctor shows him CCTV video he instantly recognizes Bibek. He asks where the savior is they tell that he had flight in early morning so is gone abroad.
There in hospital where Mr. Shahi was brought doctors are trying hard to save him but they confirm that he has gone into a coma.
Aslam and Ray have finished their discussion in his room and then asks their drivers to take them to a nice hotel which will open 24 hours. The driver nods and takes their car safely but two cars which weren’t driven well just come and the three car crashes leaving Ray and Aslam injured.

RAINBOW "Script"

By Sambidhan Acharya

INT. A LAVISH ROOM OF FIVE STAR HOTEL – 2 A.M. NIGHT
Sitting in a lavish five star hotel room Mr. Shyam Ray calls his screenplay writer for a chat of a new project. The screenplay writer is also an old friend of Mr. Ray. The most reputed producer of the industry asks his friend to come at 2 in the morning which is very unlikely time to decide a project of a movie. But his writer Aslam who knows his producer’s way of working doesn’t complain thus comes in that night time. They have already introduced themselves and are seated in a cozy sofa.
Aslam
Order coffee for me too sir.
Mr. Ray
No need.
(Aslam is alarmed.)
Mr.Ray
(smiling)
It’s here in the thermos it is just needed to be poured.
Aslam
Babhiji still doesn’t let you drink water outside ha.
Mr.Ray
True.
(feels insulted of his immunity)
But lets come to the point.
(A second’s pause)
Although its new and serious but isn’t that serious where you could think in a serious way.
Aslam
Flirting ha. Ray tell me what time is it?
Mr.Ray
Its 2.
(understanding that Aslam meant not to loose anytime and he is feeling sleepy.)
I called you late so you mean not to waste time ha. Ok fine now listen.
(pause for a while)
Mr.Ray
So far we have collaborated and produced some of the greatest hits that the world has ever seen but this time I want something else.
Aslam
Don’t mind but you are bloody show off man.
Mr.Ray
You are insulting me Aslam.
Aslam
Insulting! Now you tell me so far you have produced 35 movies in your life. Has those movies’ box office been equal to Titanic’s?
(pause for a while)
No, na. Then.
Mr.Ray
Bloody man you should understand what I mean is my movies have become very big hits and never been flopped.
Aslam
You tell things in a different way understanding is very difficult.
Mr.Ray
Now can we talk to the point you yourself is taking me away from the point and we are wasting a lot of time as you say its 2 already.
Aslam
Ok. I won’t comment on your words. That what you need.
Mr. Ray
Why you always get to my nerves I don’t know I tell you one thing and you take out other meaning what is this man just tell me.
Aslam
Don’t get hyper Ray just calm down and talk business alright I was just kidding.
Mr.Ray
See. I will talk you straight. I want to do something different this time around and start the project anytime soon.
Aslam
Every time you say this before any project and every time it’s the same potpourri to the audience. When I write something different you say there no X factor or emotional factor or something and then changing it little by little you make all the movie same melodrama, love story.
Mr.Ray
(feeling guilty)
This time I really want something different. Not like amazing or which has been never done but something at least which I have never done.
Aslam
Mr.Ray, he always says he wants something different or something else every time but the end product is always the same.
Mr.Ray
Why are you pulling my legs? Now you don’t start that all over again alright. I mean it this time something different and unique this time means I will appreciate something different. But one thing I cannot neglect melodrama so it should be melodramatic alright.
Aslam
What kind of melodrama? You have I believe have explored all sorts of melodrama now what and how different?
Mr.Ray
Never mind of that. Just write something which represents the era of 70s. I want to relive my youth.
Aslam
Which type? For the last 25 years what do you think I am writing ha. I was writing the movie of the era 70s. You forget? Every time you say me this yaar come on.
Mr.Ray
Shut up and just listen to me. This time I want family type with a lot of melodrama especially the flavor where you know they get departed in young age and then meet at the end like that type.
Aslam
Like ‘Yaadon ke Baraat’ type.
Mr.Ray
‘Yaadon ke Baraat’ type!
(a pause where he remembers the movie)
Yes, yes, yes. That movie which has Dharam jee right. Yes that type.
Mr. Ray
That’s good melodrama. There is action, departure of brothers and the songs yes they were excellent. Right I want that movie written again and made.
Aslam

The boy thinks for a second and then wiping his eyes walks up to the windows and closes the windows and curtains. Now there is pitching dark. Nothing in the room can be seen only shadow of that man who goes to the corner of the room and switches on the light rubbing his eyes.
The boy has blood all over his shirt, has rubbed dried blood all over his face and small portion of the room is bathed in blood. He puts the revolver in a table nearby and moves towards the corpse being careful of not touching one of streams of blood.
The glow of the tube light in the room has further magnified the scene of the horrific room. In wider vision the room is painted yellow in walls; two sets of sofa are seen well arranged in the middle of the room. There is couple of frames hung in the walls and a wall attached glass cupboard showcasing awards and certificate was hung.
But provoking and torturing vision was in the floor. The woman whose body lied in the floor missing an eye and portion of her head gave drained all her body to the room. The entire floor had blood streams flowing making it a semi lake of blood. The woman had died some half an hour ago. The man who is in his twenties and isn’t matured enough to take care of this dangerously awkward situation weeps again and again murmuring

I didn’t kill her. I fucking didn’t kill her.
But will anyone believe me?
No way man no one would.
Then what next.
He starts thinking shivering and his hand has now begun to tremble uncontrollably.
The cold dead body of the woman with an eye and portion of head missing was staring with one eye open to the ceiling which had fresco of a god slaying a Satan.
CUT TO:
INT. AN AVERAGE SIZED AND FURNISHED APARTMENT – 10 A.M.
The time in the wall clock strikes ten in the morning. Everyone in the city was rushing to the office but in the room the man who although hadn’t killed the woman has other things to worry rather than go to office and certainly first is to clean the mess so that he won’t be seen suspiciously.
The boy now has stopped sobbing and is thinking how to solve this newly aroused problem. He gets an idea, picks his cellular and dials his office number someone with strong voice picks up the phone.
The Man
Is it Mr. Agrawal?
Televoice
Yes who is this?
The Man
Sir this is Brij.
Agrawal
Brij. Who… Brij?...
(with a pause then knowing)
Oh! ya, Brij why haven’t you arrived at the office yet.
Brij
Sir, I just got the call that my mother is very sick in the village. I had gone to the station but there is no ticket available till three days so I was asking you the permission if I could take the car… and holiday…
Agrawal
Ok. If it’s the case of your mother then I will allow you a week leave and take that car with you and I hope you won’t run away.
Brij
Sir, I have worked with you for six years now don’t you trust me for a week too.
Agrawal
(Jokingly)
since you have made me emotional take the car.
Brij
Thank you sir. Thank you very much. I would never forget your help.
Agrawal
It’s alright and take good care of your mother and come back soon.
Brij
Yes, sir. Once again thank you sir. Good day sir.
(Closes his mobile and switches it off)
Sighs a long breath and then murmurs in trembling sound “One problem down and now the big one remains.”
He goes to the mirror to see and observe and sees his entire body in blood.
Brij
oh, my…
(rubbing his face)
I need to clean this mess up first. Holy shit…

He walks with precaution so as to not touch the stream of blood and not leave foot prints soaked in blood and walks to the bathroom. He is too cautious to touch anything so he wraps his hand in toilet paper and opens the tap to fill the tub. He one by one opens his cloth and puts it in the dustbin which is empty and lies in the corner of the bathroom. He puts soap in his face, body. And once again he starts to weep and sob. He is not only weeping because he has a corpse lying in the room staring at the ceiling but also he was weeping because he could not bear that he was thinking like a criminal and was planning to wipe all the proofs he could so that he would not be suspected of the murder that he has not done.
CUT TO:
INT. AN AVERAGE SIZED AND FURNISHED APARTMENT – 11 A.M.
Brij washes his body and then cleans the bathroom with sweeping rod. He wraps himself in a gown and comes out of the bathroom he sees the watch its twelve thirty in the afternoon. His brain isn’t working the way he wants. There are scenes revolving around his head the woman kissing him, he smiling and speaking to her and a shot in her head. When he sees the woman once again, lying he couldn’t stand he faints but as a dream he sees every single scene before she was shot.
Woman
(Kissing Brij with only wearing a see through gown seated in his lap)
Sweetie do you love me?
Brij
(Returning kisses and cuddling with her moving his hands in her gown playing with her body seating in a sofa)
Shall I tell you frankly Sofia or just to make you happy?
Sofia
Ummm… let me think
(a second pause)
Ok tell me frankly.
(laughs)
Brij
I will explain you my feeling today without being overtly polite or something.
Sofia
Hehehehe…
(laughs)
Ok what are you waiting then tell that you just be with me because I pay you for it.
Brij
No, that’s not I am gonna tell you. You are correct that at first I was in this relation because I needed extra money to pay for my extra expenditures.
Sofia
Extra expenditures ha. You… dating some one of your age for long or something like that ha.
Brij
No it’s not that I am dating someone or like that stuff. Previously too I told you that you are the only one woman whom I know.
Sofia
Then whom you are paying?
Brij
I am paying for my detective.
Sofia
Detective?
Brij
Yes a detective.
(moving his hand in her hair).
Sofia
(stops flirting and gets serious)
You are spying on who? Me!
Brij
No dear not you why I should spy on you.
Sofia
Whom then?
Brij
I am going to tell you something which I have never told anyone.
Sofia
Trust ha. Thanks.
(Remembers something)
Wait I want to show you something.
The woman vanishes to the other room for a while and then returns with a revolver.
Sofia
See how is this surprise?
Brij
Bloody hell. Is this real and loaded?
Sofia
Ya. What do you feel I bring a fake one to show you.
Brij
It’s not safe and from where did you get this.
Sofia
My hubby gave me three days ago and said to carry this stuff for protection. He thinks I need protection so that I won’t get shot or something.
Brij
This shows he cares you.
Sofia
Cares my ass. It’s only as formality I am sure.
Sofia
Anyway now tell your story.
Brij
First give his gun to me so that I will feel safe.
Sofia
Take. Here you get this my lord
(gives respectfully to Brij).
Brij
We were three brothers.
Sofia
You had brothers too. Where are they and why the hell are you spying them (kisses him and sits once again in his lap).
Brij
No my dear they aren’t with me now. We had been departed a long ago rather say we were lost and have so far never met.
Sofia
Oh my baby. Come here.
(Kisses him all over his cheek)
Brij
This is the reason why I am paying a detective for searching them and tracing them if they are alive. .
Sofia
May you get success in this?
Brij
Now to your question. Before yes I didn’t love you but only I cared was about earning money for you and satisfying you. But not anymore slowly and slowly I am being desperate for you and lately I have realized that this is love.
Sofia
Is it really? I don’t believe it.
Brij
Its not about you believing me or not but it’s about how I feel as you asked.
Sofia
(Being emotional)
I wasn’t saying that I don’t believe you but it’s just that I couldn’t believe it.
Brij gives a pleasant smile.
Sofia
Thanks. I am relieved.
Sofia
(Out of no where)
Will you marry me?
Brij:
Are you getting divorced?
Sofia
I am filing the divorce case tomorrow.
Brij
I would certainly marry you if you will divorce him.
Sofia
What about your job? Your profession. Paying your detective… finding your brother.
Brij
Lately since I have been not finding any clue of them. I am thinking to drop my thought on finding them and really now I don’t hope to find them.
Sofia
Why are you saying so?
Brij
I am just being practical. I am really not being emotional and talking I am sure now that I won’t find them.
Brij
And about the job or others. I will arrange them. I am planning to open a small office of my own selling my shares.
Sofia
Selling your shares are you serious? Jus don’t make me dream ok.
Brij
Regarding your hubby chasing us. We will move to another place where we can start fresh and live happily.
Sofia
I can still not believe it. Are you serious?
Brij
From past six months I am planning for this but never thought that you would be serious for me.
Sofia
I always was. But since yesterday I am getting serious because I have already talked to him about leaving him.
Brij
(a pause for a while)
Please will you stand up?
Sofia stands up shyly.
Brij
Oh my love of life will you marry me?
(Instead of ring gives her, her gun)
Sofia
(Smiles lovingly and shyly)
Yes. Yes. Yes.

Brij stands up and then they laugh full heartedly holding each others hand.
A swirl sound is heard and in no time the woman falls down. The pieces of brain and pieces of skeleton of her head are scattered. Brij looks at the woman. She is dead and is shot in her head. He is blank.
CUT TO:
(cont’d)
Brij gets consciousness it’s already 1 P.M. He sees around him and weeps again. Then without wasting any time he drags the body to the freeze. He opens the freeze empties it and pushes the body to freeze, increases the freezing level and closes it.
CUT TO:
(cont’d)
Brij is cleaning every bit of room which has blood in it and is gathering the pieces of bones and parts of the head which had scattered here and there.
CUT TO:
(cont’d)
It’s 3 P.M. Brij has brought a huge suitcase to pour the body. He opens refrigerator the body is half frozen. The blood is frozen thus he is sure that no leakage would be there. He squeezes the body and keeps it in the suitcase. He once again changes his cloth and drags the suitcase out of the room.
Brij
Shit. Its heavy. Still got to do it.
He drags the body to the lift.
One of the apartment neighbors
Hello Brij jee, what’s this seems heavy ha.
Brij
(shocked)
(amazed)
(tensed)
(but calmingly…)
No, it’s some cloth for my mother and others in the village.
One of the apartment neighbors
You never said you had a village or a mother
Brij
Oh! I never mentioned it. It might be that we haven’t talk about that matter.
One of the apartment neighbors
You are true about that
(Lift stops in the third floor)
(cont’d)
One of the apartment neighbors
Have a safe journey Brij jee.
Brij
Yes, thank you.
(Neighbour walks away)
Brij sigh’s breath of relief
CUT TO:
(cont’d)
He puts suitcase in his car and drives away. He drives until dark and then at 10 P.M. much away from the city he puts brakes in a bridge and waits for sometime. Seeing no one around he takes out the suitcase and with a lot of care seeing here and there and finding no one throws it in a flowing river.

And without waiting much drives to the city.

Hello its midnight service and I am your RJ Vice. And…
The car is still racing to the city.
FM radio v/o (heard from the car)
It’s two at the night and we are having a lot of fight no not the real fight but the fight between songs and lyrics…

Sits in one of the table where another man was drinking whisky.

INT. AN OFFICE IN A BUSY CITY
In the office room still sipping champagne and chatting this time quiet being personal.
Saurav:
I think I have to rearrange my personnel life you know so…
Sushant:
Are you getting divorced or what?
Saurav:
No! Of course not. Holy shit. Why when you always open your mouth I feel some rats hanging out in your tongue ha?
Sushant:
Whatever? I am being screwed because suddenly you seem to be caring too much about personal life.
Saurav:
I think it’s high time I must minimize my professional life and recover the loss I have made in personal life.
Sushant:
That’s why you called me here ha to tell me that you will not be handy to me.
Saurav:
No. I didn’t say I quit you shit head but I am saying that I will be working in a routine so that my professional life won’t harm my personal life you know.
Sushant:
Bloody hell a day ago you say you that you want to let her go and the day after you shit say that you want to rearrange or something what the fucking coward man.
Saurav:
You say me anything buddy but since yesterday when I said you to leave her since then I have been thinking like mathematician who breaks code and have found out that I won’t be able to do anything without her.
Sushant:
You are amazing man. Fucking amazing man. You are the one who lectured me some while ago not to be dependent and this is you who knows that your wife is screwing up with some other young bud you aren’t doing anything not to him not to her either and on top of that you say you want to rearrange ha.
Saurav:
Yes. I accept all your charges but I think I mustn’t be too casual about as she is the only one I have learned I love her and holy man love is bloody blind.
Sushant:
Is it? I thought it to be tequila who ever sips it falls without knowing is it good or worse.
Saurav:
Yesterday you know after talking to you leaving her I read in a book which said that most of the marriage of high profile men ends in divorce because husband cannot satisfy wife’s sexual want and I don’t want to loose her for just the same reason.
Sushant:
Wh-what (laughingly) are you telling bloody man? You say that the only reason the girl is seeing small buds is that because you the flower isn’t feeding her with creams ha.
Saurav:
Exactly so that is why she suffer hysteria with I not being with her for sometime for a month and most regularly for fortnights thus to calm her thirst she walks out to pay for some bud to satisfy her and I lately think its tight too. Else she would be sick mentally you know like going insane.
Sushant:
Oh, holy almighty save this asshole. You say that… you mean…it is ok with you that your wife is screwing up… amazing! And you know that it’s hilarious.
Sushant:
(after a pause)
if I had a wife like that I would have fired two warning shots in her head.
Saurav:
You dumb ass that’s why I think you never been in love and you have never been married. I feel that forgetting and forgiving is what love actually means.
Sushant:
What man forgetting your wife has screwed someone knowingly and forgiving for that bloody hell what has happened to you ha. Are you bloody sick or something? ha. What a transformation in a day has anyone done black magic on you or what?
Saurav:
Whatever you say I have decided I am going to give her and myself a chance then I am giving it.
Sushant:
I don’t think you should ha think for a while again man.
Saurav:
No I am sure for this I am giving second chance and I need your help.
Sushant:
Ok if you have decided to rupture yourself I don’t give a damn just tell what you need from me.
Saurav:
I need a fortnight of holiday so till then you take care of all this mess.
Sushant:
What? In short you mean to say to avoid your wife to screw with other boy you are giving all this trouble to me.
Saurav:
Can’t you do this for your old friend please?
Sushant:
Ok man, fuck you. This please of yours will drown me someday. Go and enjoy your… I don’t know… tenth honeymoon! Hmmm.

INT. IN A LUXURY CAR
In a car Saurav is seated in the back seat, he holds a mobile and is dialing his wife. First he dials his home the phone is ringing but no one picks up. “Bloody she must be screwing with some boy half her age.” He then dials his wife’s mobile number the mobile rings for four calls then a voice appears, “Hello, I am busy right now please leave a message and I will call you as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
Saurav:
(In a sulky tone)
I want to just say you one thing “fuck you” and that’s my message.
(Seeing at the driver and calming down)
Take me to the restaurant nearby ‘quick’ I need a break form this insult.
The driver turns the car to the same restaurant where Binod and Martin are talking.
Saurav enters the restaurant and seeing waiter arrive looks at the menu.
Waiter:
Yes sir what’s your order?
Saurav:
What’s special here?
Waiter:

Waiter:

Saurav sees some one he knows calls out,
Saurav:

The man turns around and is bewildered to see Saurav. He raises his hand to acknowledge that he is Martin and starts coming towards Saurav being a bit nervous as if he wasn’t supposed to meet Saurav nor hadn’t least expected him.
Appears near Saurav and speaks:
Martin:
Hello sir what a pleasant surprise?
Saurav:

Martin

Saurav is in his room waiting for his wife. He has already finished three packs of whisky and he is feeling bore of waiting. He looks at the clock.
Saurav
Its already over three hours and holy shit my patience is giving answers now.
The wall clock has struck three in the afternoon. He doesn’t know what to do so he calls his friend Sushant for a chat, after five rings Sushant attains the call:
Sushant:
(grinning)
Are your vacations over?
Saurav:
(So as to ignore the topic of being alone or to be safe from being pulled leg)
No, I had just called to confirm that is it going well there. I mean in office.
Sushant:
(Knows that Saurav is alone thus he had called but still talks casually as if he doesn’t know anything)
Yep. Like a butter. Don’t worry man you can trust me for at least a fortnight and don’t spoil your good time.
Saurav:
Ok if that’s it then I am relieved.
Sushant:
(He couldn’t resist and then talks out straight)
Is it true that there is no one in the house?
Saurav:
You knew this all the time I talked no.
Sushant:
(In an innocent manner)
No.
Saurav:
Your ‘NO’ has so much dirt. Yuck.
Sushant:
Has it? But is not as much boring as to wait for wife and get drunk.
Saurav:
I am in no good mood so don’t fucking pull my leg.
Sushant:
Bloody man I am scared…
Hehehehe…
But you still get me wrong yaar. Just take a break and divorce her no second or third chance man.
Saurav:
Bla… bla… bla… bla… I am sorry I called. I won’t call you from now on. Instead of suggesting how to solve friends problem you are trying to destroy his family man what’s this?
Sushant:
If you want to use my informers I can find out where is your wife within no time?
Saurav:
Tell sister in law not my wife and by the way I will remember to call you don’t worry if time calls. And your informers are mine too so if situation calls for it then I will undoubtedly do the needful.
Sushant:
Ok fine don’t burn at me I was just trying to help you. Sorry for that and I won’t add more oil to your burned heart so let me hang up.
Saurav:
Fine just close your phone.
Saurav then waits for a while roams around the house, goes to his bed room which is well furnished huge room. He opens his wife’s cupboard and tries to find a clue with whom she is with.
Saurav:
(Bring down all her clothes and looking in the racks and opening

Mahi
You are agitating me of cheating you know that without any proof
Saurav

Bloody hell Saurav I am a woman I have sexual desires. How long has it been since we have last slept together? Do you remember in your fucking head?
Saurav
You polluted rat all you think of marriage is sex and that’s all.
Mahi
No I don’t think marriage is sex but it’s a part of it don’t you think you workaholic beast.
Saurav
I don’t think like you.
Mahi
And on top of that I everyday feel sorry for choosing you as my life partner.
Saurav
Why don’t you admit it was my money?
Mahi
You are sorry but many multimillionaires were there in line if I would say one they would come thriving for me.
Saurav
For you ha like I believe.
Mahi
If you don’t then it’s none of my business. Not only sex but you didn’t even give me a day after we got married but before marriage you were like making me feel life every single day. In fact you treated me like an ornament in the house.
Saurav
Now what do you want instead of getting in business deals you want me to roam around you like a headless asshole.
Mahi
Now you have asked me and one set for all for the past six months since I have got frustrated I want divorce with you.
Saurav
Bloody hell divorce. Why? On what ground? And the reason?
Mahi
See Saurav I have finally realized that you aren’t the one whom I want to trust and spent my entire life.
Saurav
What do you mean?
(a small pause)
It means that you have found another studded man, richer than me.
Mahi
See still you don’t understand. I don’t want money. I never wanted money.
(In tears)
(Confessing)
(Voice low)
I loved you because you loved me that’s it. And now I think must know that I no longer love you and I find that you have no priority for me that’s why I want to quit.
Saurav
Oh that’s the reason ha you bitch.
(Thinking for a while)

Ok if you want it then take divorce from me. I too don’t want a wife who impure herself for self pleasure.

(thinking whether his salary has really been doubled or it is only while his master is drunk)
I understand sir.
Saurav
Now no I understand sir. Say yes sir.
Guard
Yes, sir.
Saurav goes out and sees around. A car waiting in some 30 yards distance flashes back light and gives horn.
Saurav goes to the car flailing, half conscious.

He observes each face closely and then when he magnifies his lens in one face and then moves his lens close at the same time a small mosquito bites him in his neck disturbs him while he pats his neck and then the focus of the lens gets disturbed.
Man:

Bloody mosquito what would have happened if I had pulled the trigger ha?
Once again gets busy focusing and locking the same target a handsome man wearing chocolate coloured suit. This bright faced man was now talking to the other three in the room and was now seated.
The target is stable thus he further rotates the magnifying glass making it focus exact in his head.
Man:
This will be easy boy; he is an easy target man no one is defending this bloody fool.
(grins)
Man:
Shit man, I never get chance to become a hero and shoot bodyguard like in a movie its one shot and over always.
These bastards always make me easy. One shot on target and over I am seriously fed up of this.
Saying this he fires one shot due to silencer in the sniper a small whistle is produced not a large sound but the target misses. The man who was talking at that time had bent to sign a contract and the misfire occurred.
Man:
Christ, missed where did the bullet go. Bloody man let it not hit other person else it would be such a mess. Never mind.
Let me hit another and this time my god, bullet if you don’t hit that shit head I will quit and never make you my bread earner.
He fires the bullet it hits directly in his head pulping out huge piece of brain resulting spot dead.
Man:
I did it. No time to play now.
He opens the clip of the curtain. The curtain closes within a second. He then opens his sniper and puts it in a guitar case and then coolly comes out of the room. Outside the room a waiter is waiting for him he nods his head and opens his plastic boot and gloves and gives it to him and goes away whistling to the elevator.
The waiter enters the room and takes the guitar case puts it in his large trolley he has brought and goes away.
The other three men who were with now dead man see hither and thither and point at the room where they just see a curtain closing but didn’t see who has closed it thus runs and calls police and also dial other unknown numbers.
The man who has just shot the target is Bibek and is a medium sized hunk that is in his mid twenties. He is handsome and doesn’t look like he can even kill an insect.

Baby where is the portrait that had arrived today.
Girlfriend
It’s in drawer of the cupboard in living room.
Bibek goes to living room and opens a drawer of the cupboard and sees a large envelope. He opens it and there is a drawing of scenery not any portrait. He takes the whole drawing out and then looks it with a special 3-D glass which he has in his pocket. There he sees a portrait and is in a shock. He then sees further down and counts the number of zero.
Bibek:
1,2,4,5,6,7… Aye man its good man.
Voice V/O:
How’s that?
Bibek:
Its good. Advance?
Voice V/O:
One hour later go to Hotel Orange you will get the advance and canvas from bull.
Bibek:
Fine.
The voice hangs up the phone.

Bibek ballets with the painting and keeping it in a table then goes to his bed to embrace and kiss his girl friend. They kiss and play casually with each other.
Bibek:
Let’s today do only once. Swati.
Swati:
Nowadays you put your dozer off so easily have you lost your touch or what?
Bibek:
(kissing her lips and neck)
I ain’t loosing touch but it’s the urgency of work I can put my dozer in your garage for a long time. And I fear that since I have no plastic coat put on the dozer if it vomits milk then result would be not welcome to both of us.
Swati:
(kissing him and holding his butt)
(panting and giggling)
Ok I get it but let me feel that you are in me at least.
Bibek:
Ok. After today I will make you feel and won’t feel afraid to pour milk too doesn’t worry.
Swati:
My filthy stud what are you doing today so that we won’t have any fear?
Bibek:
I am going to withdraw all my money from my business and shares and have found one who is buying them all so…
(pushing his butt to strike her)
(she pants and giggles)
So… today I go to collect money and then we fly away from here forever.
Swati:
Forever what do you mean? You sell everything and we run away.
Bibek:
(kissing her and grabbing her alveoli and caressing her nipples)
You idiot head. You are going for settling in a new place not running in a cheaper place than this but abroad.
Swati:
That means I don’t have to work again.
Bibek:
No baby our future will be different from today.
Swati:
Boy boy I am so happy pour me with milk. Fast. Do it.
Bibek:
(leaves her body naked and then without to her starts to dress)
I am going.
Swati:
(naked but shamelessly posing to her boyfriend)
Baby, are you angry?
Bibek:
No no not at all. I thought in emotion I might really pour you milk so… I am leaving to finish the job and take money.
Swati:
Oh!
(she too stands up and then kissing twice to Bibek puts her gown and runs to the kitchen)
Bibek:
Where are you going?

Swati:
(politely and in a well manner)

Bibek:

Bibek:
(sipping tea and embracing his sweet girl friend in bed)
Baby.
Swati:
Hmmm.
Bibek:
Can you take a day leave from your office?
Swati:
(kisses his cheek)
Why my dear?
Bibek:
Today we have to pack all our stuff as I said earlier since we are leaving.
Swati:
Ok I will take leave but why I dunno my inner gut is saying that you are doing some risky business?
Bibek:
No, no not at all, baby. You know I never hide a word for you. And besides there is risk in everything baby even in cooking a tea.
Swati:
Really you aren’t doing any risky stuff right.
Bibek:

(kisses her all over the face)
Always worries about me. Don’t do this baby? I feel insecure.
Swati:

Swati (cont’d):
How much money you will get after selling your shares and all.
Bibek:
Nearly 20 million.
Swati:
(excitingly)
20… mill… man my buddy. I love you
Bibek:
Why so excited?
Swati:
That’s too much money don’t you think so. And by the way when did you earn that much?
Bibek:
You have always underestimated my power that’s why you wonder but nowadays no one thinks this much money especially for the quality of person like me.
Swati:
Is it?
(they play with each other for a while but is interrupted by a call)
Bibek interrupts her and moves to pick the call. He speaks, “Hello.”
Voice V/O:
Hello, its now time to move. Half an hour later meet Bull at Hotel Orange be quick.
Bibek:
Yes, sir.
By the time he is in phone Swati is still playing with him but he asks her to stop and prepare a tie knot for him.
He quickly showers, wears his formal dress and then asking his girl to give him his tie asks her once again to take holiday from the office and pack everything. He moves to the door and remembering something sees the girl kisses her.
Swati:
Don’t forget to keep that gold coin its important Ok dear?
Bibek:
Here it is. See.
(shows coin from the door to her who is in living room)
Swati:
(running comes to him and giving a good bye kiss)
Fine now go and come quickly.
Bibek:
(flirtingly)
Today you want to let me go very fast what is it ha?
Swati:
Nothing if you go then you can come with money fast and besides I have to start packing things up so that we can move as soon as you arrive.
(Saying this pushes Bibek to door)
Bibek:
Ok. Ok. Baby good bye.
Swati:
Bye, come soon baby.
CUT TO:
INT. IN A TABLE OF HOTEL ORANGES CAFE
Bibek is seated with an ugly, strongly built stubborn man with very strong voice resembling his persona in short the man resembled a well built bull. They both drink soup and then finishing it call waiter for the bill. The reason for his name to be called as Bull really suits his persona.
Bibek:
Is that guitar for me?
Bull:
First clear the bill then you will get not only guitar but other things too.
Waiter comes with a bill.
Bibek:
Hey Bull, man it was supposed to be your treat right.
(Bull just stares at Bibek angrily)
Bibek:
Ok man you don’t need to be angry or something like that. I am paying.
(cont’d)
Bibek:
(looking at the waiter)
My friend here is very angry so any amounts I pour in don’t return suppose this change is your tip all right.
Waiter smiles as he sees Rs.500 note for a mere bill of Rs. 325 and taking that amount thanking him goes away.
Bull sees waiter go away from their sight and handles a guitar case to Bibek and a small file.
Bibek:
Ok thanks man. The work will be done and the composition you will hear from this guitar after this will be legendary.
Bull then gives him a bag.
Bibek opens the bag and his eye is dazzled.
Bull:
ONE CRORE. All in cash.
Bibek:
Duplicate or original.
Bull:
(annoyingly)
What?
Bibek:
Just joking Bull. I trust you man.
Bull:
Your joke might cause you your life, remember Biky.
Bibek:
I will man you mighty men never take things lightly ha. But I risk my life and crack another joke without your permission.
Bull:
(grins in anger)
You know I always wanted kill you not because you are a bad man or something but you are too joking.
Bibek:
(Ignoring his warn)
When you say Biky its sounds like Bike-eye. How is it?
Bull:
(Stands up so as to go)
You are lucky you aren’t in my bingo book. I must calm down so that you can get rid of the job. Get the job done then call me.
Bibek:
Do you know whom I have to shot this time?
Bull:
I never ask my boss whom he orders to kill it’s not my duty.
Bibek:
Remember this word Bull I will call you at the time I play the guitar to let you know who this is.
Bull:
If it’s me too I don’t care my boss might have thought something and besides in my hands there are no lines of death.
Bibek:
Its not you but… let it be I will call you at the time I prey.
Bull goes away without speaking a word
Seeing the bull gone.
And seeing 1/3 advance as 10 million.
Bibek:
(murmurs)
They have written in portrait that they would pay me 20 but they have decided for 30 it must be a trouble some task. Anyway its fine with me my life is out of this mess after this.
CUT TO:
INT. A ROOM IN AN ORDINARY HOUSE
The camera moves to the wall clock which shows its eight thirty in the morning. A man is seated in his sofa taking sips of tea and talking in a telephone.
A man:

(Smiling courteously)
Telephone voice:

(In a sleepy sound)
A man:

(Casually)
A man:

Telephone voice:

Telephone voice:

(In a more serious tone)
A man:
Yes, sir.
Telephone voice:
The thing will come at 11 outside your office.
A man:
Ok, what’s next?
Telephone voice:
First fetch my man and the thing call me then.
Both hang up the telephone.
CUT TO:
EXT. OUTSIDE POLICE STATION IN A PUBLIC PLACE
A police officer waits outside his office for someone to arrive. His wait is over as a man comes out of a cab and waving his hand at him signals to follow him. The police officer follows the man. The man stops in nearby restaurant. The police officer too enters the same restaurant and they greet each other.
Police officer:
How do you do, Martin?
Martin:
This is the question which makes me sick as answer is the same question you know.
Police officer:
I know that’s why I jot this question to the one who meets me first to find his depth in English.
Martin:
Are you a grammar teacher?
Police officer:
Yes I wanted to be but that’s another story?
Short flash back:
A forty something pork headed man talks to the police officer who was young then and says,
Porky face:
You bloody hole in the head you won’t be a teacher we have tradition of being a police officer.
Police officer (when a child)
But papa.
Papa:
But what you have seen this hand it has created havoc among terrorist think if it lands on your educated cheek you will need a surgery so think yourself.
Waiter:
What is your order sir?
Martin:

Waiter:

Martin:

Waiter shakes his head and goes away.
Martin:
You know what to do isn’t it? Did Aman called you?
Police officer:
Yes, sir had called me but hadn’t said anything to do.
Martin:
Ok. Now listen carefully. Take this briefcase
(saying this he handles the briefcase to the police officer).
The officer was trying to open the briefcase but is interrupted the waiter comes up with the ordered coffee. He serves them.
Waiter:
Anything else.
Martin:
Are you guys closing?
Waiter:
Why sir?
Martin:
Just asking as you are asking as if you are going to close let us feel cozy with the coffee first baby then we might plan to eat entire restaurant as a feast.
Waiter:
(Wondering and with black facial expression)
Yes right sir thank you.
After the waiter goes away the police officer opens it a red gleam of light dazzles his face but camera doesn’t show what was in the briefcase but only shows police officer’s face which has various expressions combined anxiety, alarmed, thoughtful, amazed.
Martin:
Now I leave you here Binod. Rest information will be provided to you by phone from boss. (Saying Martin leaves. Binod closes the briefcase but the expressions in his face didn’t change)
Ring tone of an old song is heard and Binod sees the number.
CUT TO:
EXT. IN A ROAD
The man at last catches up with the expressionless youth and then says again patting in his shoulder, “Hey, Dev. What happened man?”
Dev:
(still amused)
Yes, but who are you?
Youth:
You don’t recognize me. I am Amit.
Dev:
Amit! Who Amit?
Youth:
Amit yaar we were best of friends at college.
Dev:
I don’t recognize you actually but it’s not your mistake.
Amit:
(Folly mood)
Don’t joke my friend. You are caught alright now no joking ok.
Dev:
Sorry you might be my friend but I don’t recognize you.
Amit:
What does that mean? I might be your friend…
Dev:
(Being serious)
(Opens his head and shows a long cut of his head)
See this.
Amit:
But what…? I mean …How does this happen?
Dev:
I met with an accident you know some two years ago so from that time I don’t remember my past. Actually of some years… I mean… I can’t explain you well in road at least. Do you want to come with me for coffee or something we can talk there?
Amit:
(Afraid but afraid of what even he doesn’t know)
I was just passing by I saw you so… but I will call you and come to you when I am free you know we can talk things and try to gather past. Give me your number then.
Dev:
Ok… ya… that’s good then write it down.
Amit opens his cellular and starts typing the number as he narrates.
Dev:
98220023336. You can call me anytime you know I will check your photo in my gallery I have kept in my PC and hope that I will find your name in the dairy that I had written in the past. You dial my number and give me miss call so that I get your number too.
Amit:
You are right.
(he then calls Dev’s number a vibrating tone is heard and Amit cancels the call.)
Amit:
Ok then we will see sometime soon. Ok bye.
Dev:
Bye. See ya.
Dev moves for sometime but then a sharp pain in his head stops him and balances himself and goes near a shop and asks
Dev
Sir can I rest for a while I am feeling sharp pain in my…
Shopkeeper
Yes. Yes why not.
After a while Dev’s pain vanishes and then moves to his apartment. He is still stressing his brain to remember his newly met man whom he calls his best friend.
Reaches his house and opens his door. Switches the lights on, puts breads in the toaster, he thinks something while the bread gets toasted. When the breads puffs out he puts them in a plate nearby and then eating them goes to switch on his computer.
The computer is on and then he searches files and finds and few group photos where Amit too is there so he opens word and sees at the files whether he has stored something from diary there. He reads:
Dev (Reading)
Amit is a very helpful but selfish boy. Whatever he is but he is my best friend. Last month when I couldn’t pay my fees due to curfew in my village and papa couldn’t send money he paid my fee without asking me when I will pay him…
Phone rings: Song “remembering is the hardest thing in my life,” as ring tone.
He runs to his room to fetch the phone. Phone’s ring closes then again starts ringing “remembering is the hardest thing in my life; I know you but can’t remember…”
Dev:
Hello
Lady’s Voice:
Hi! There. What are you doing?
Dev:
Nothing just preparing meal for the morning.
Lady’s Voice:
Is it enough for me too?
Dev:
You are always welcome.
(pause)
I need to talk to you about some other things too.
Lady’s Voice:
Ca it be talked in phone?
Dev:
You come here then we will talk at comfort.
Lady’s Voice:
I was just joking about coming for breakfast. Right now I am in lab it will take at the most two hour then I will come to you. Eat your morning meal don’t wait. Ok. When I come then tell me alright bye.
Dev:
Bye.
He prepares the meal. He pours the fresh meal and takes his rice, pulse and vegetable with him to the dining table and starts eating them.
While he is eating there is another call in his room but in a different phone set it was from the receptionist of his building where he lives in tenth floor.
Receptionist:
Sir, there is man who says that he doesn’t have anytime to meet you and is leaving an envelope is it fine?
Dev:

Receptionist:

Dev:

Binod:

Dev:

Binod:

Dev:

Binod:

Receptionist:
Yes, sir.
Dev:
Ok lady please keep the envelope and give it to Dr. Sneha she will be here after two hours.
Receptionist:
Yes, sir alright.
After breakfast he is busy pouring colors in the palate. His room is with no paintings so mixing colors seems to be awkward. He takes out a painting board underneath his bed and prepares himself for painting something. He doesn’t paint but just looks at the painting thinking something.
Few seconds later he is in the computer once again seeing photos and their bio data and pictures clicked at different places by him or those group photos clicked with his friends.
