Harshvardhan's Murder? ii. @ Harshvardhan Vilial iii. Misfortune shall strike upon those who ask too many questions ! One hitman. One dead woman. Two reporters. Paranoia. Confusion. FADE IN: EXT. APARTMENT - MIDNIGHT We see the life chatterin’ in this apartment thru its various windows. Orange-ish hue of comin’ out of the bulbs inside them. Its a beautiful apartment.. not taller than 4 storeys. We see an old lady smokin’ a cigarette on her chair thru the 3rd floors window. We see a young couple fallin’ asleep whilst watchin’ T.V thru the 2nd floors window. We see bunch of kids asleep with their teddy bears thru the 1st floors window. We now see this beautiful woman - CHARU GUPTA - in her 30’s - puttin’ on a lipstick & checkin’ her self out in the mirror via the ground floors window. Charu then prepares to leave. Charu grabs her bag & turns the lights off. Charu opens the door - the mirror is adjacent to her door - near her reach. Now we notice the sharp sound of door bein’ closed. Charu has waltz out of her apartment. Charu is now lockin’ the door. We see immense nervousness on her face. She takes a deep breathe. She then starts walkin’ towards the street adjacent her apartment. Charu is now on the street. Charu is wearin’ a wonderful dress with silver earings to compliment it. Charu is holdin’ a purse in her one hand. Charu looks around a little & then looks at her watch. Charu then turns right & starts walkin’. Charu is walkin’ down the street. But for some reason she slows her steps down a little. She turns around slowly to see if someone is behind her or not. She sees nothin’ except wind whirlin’ & leaves makin’ sinister noises.. cars parked near the street. She once again starts walkin’. She walks a little but we see that her face is anxious. She stops a little. She then turns around slowly. Her face is pale & cold. She swallows a lump. But still there is no one on the street except her. Charu takes a deep breathe & turns around again. Charu starts walkin’ again. As she is walkin’ .. we see a tip of a gun ( silencer ) appearin’ from the dark. It’s aimin’ her from the behind. Charu is still walkin’ unaware of the sinister turn that this night mite take. We again see the gun’s tip from the dark.. the person aimin’ at her is makin’ sure he/she gets her for good. Charu is just walkin’ slowly. PEWWW - PEWWW ! Charu falls face down to the ground. We then see blood comin’ outta her head .. Real slow. SHIV - THE HITMAN - In a crisp formal attire - emerges out from the dark & looks at charu from a far. Shiv then looks around real quick. Shiv then turns around. Shiv starts walkin’ down the street quietly with a calm demeanor. 2. Shiv puts the silencer gun in his office bag real quick. Meanwhile, Charu is dyin’. Charu twiches a little. Charu is starin’ at her purse whilst is lyin’ flat on the ground. Charu’s eyes start to lose thier luster. Charu dies. Street is as quite as a church. We then hear a cracklin’ sound outta nowhere. Clouds are roarin’ but not rainin’. FADE TO BLACK. SCREEN TURNS RED. WE THEN SEE “HARSHVARDHAN’S MURDER” APPEARIN’ ON IT IN BIG BLACK BOLD GOTHIC LETTERS. FADE IN: INT. NEWSPAPER OFFICE - MORNING We see a panaromic view of the entire office. Desks with computers & ethernet cables jacked in. Printers makin’ noises. Some men & women are typin’ articles whilst sittin’ on thier desks. Some men & women are walkin’ across the office whilst papers & documents in thier hands. It’s live & filled with lotta kinetics. We now see two reporters sittin’ on a table .. havin’ a cigarette whilst the entire office is workin’ & movin’. Two oddballs. Meet V & Harsh. Two good lookin’ & lean fellas in their early 30’s .. Dressed like every other newspaper reporters in the town. Formal & clean. Harsh & V are readin’ two different newspaper. V is leanin’ his head on harsh’s shoulder whilst readin’ his newspaper. V turns the page & skims thru it. Harsh is focused on his newspaper. Harsh nudges V. HARSH Yeh dekh raha hai tu. V looks at what harsh is readin’ whilst closin’ his newspaper. V processes the article in his own manner. V Charu Gupta ... Ladki koh aadhi raat ko udaa diya. Purse aur earings missin’ hai. Chori ka case. Harsh is connectin’ the dots in his head whilst lookin’ at the article. HARSH Gupta ? Gupta ? Yeh wahi ladki haina jiska husband car accident meh ludak gaya tha thode mahino pehle ... Abb yeh bhi chal bassi. Ajeeb hai. 3. V takes paper outta harsh’s hand. V looks at the article in a proper manner whilst leanin’ on harsh’s shoulder. Harsh then all of a sudden shrugs his shoulder & hence outbalancin’ V’s head. V’s head becomes the victim of sudden gravity. V rotates his neck whilst closin’ down the newspaper. V puts down the newspaper near him. V is still rotatin’ his neck. V starts nursin’ it with his one hand. V Kamine.. Thoda rehem kar sale.. Kal soya nai dhang seh meh. Harsh rolls his eyes. HARSH Cocaine ek stimulant hai... V. Nind kese aayegi tujhe agar tere raggoh meh stimulant daur raha hoga toh... Science 101. V chuckles. V takes a puff outta of his cigarette. V Chila chila keh bol.. Kya pata shayad police sunn le aur mujhe andar dal deh. Harsh takes out his notepad & looks at the task list. HARSH Aderall use kar.. Same buzz minus the side effects. (beat) By the ways... aaj ka program kya hai ? Kyaaaa karna hai aaj ? V takes a puff outta his cigarette. Harsh puts the note pad down. Harsh massages his neck a little whilst rotatin’ it a little. V Pata nai... mujhe kuch pina padega... Coffee.. Redbull. Harsh gets on his feet. V also gets on his feet. Both of them are standin’ & lookin’ around. V rests his head on his harsh’s shoulder & closes his eyes. Harsh brushes him off. V rubs his one eye. V (CONT’D) Sona hai bhai. Bass thoda. 4. HARSH Toh kya mere peh soyega tu abb.. Vinciguerra Times hai yeh.. Tere baap ki motel nai. Harsh takes a puff outta of his cigarette . Harsh then notices little cigarette ash on his shirt. Harsh brushes off the cigarette ash from his shirt with his one hand. V chuckles whilst lookin’ at it & starts shakin’ his head. V Kya karta hai tu ? Shirt ko ashtray bana rakha hai tune. Dhyan rakha karr. Harsh looks at v & sulks. HARSH (sarcastic) Cigarette keh sath sote hue apni shirt jala di ho jis maha purush neh voh abb dusro koh lecture dege ki kese apne shirt ka khyaal rakhien. Vaah Vaah ! V shakes his head whilst breakin’ a smile. LAWYERED ! V (smilin’) Voh sirf ek baar hua tha.. Kamine. Harsh & V smile at each other. Harsh shakes his head a little head. HARSH Challllehh abbb ! Harsh & V start to head for the coffee machine which is located in a distant corner - in the office canteen area. Harsh & V are facin’ lotta pedestrians who are comin’ thier way whilst readin’ the articles & havin’ a coffee. Harsh & V slowly maneuver thru this traffic. V Mujhe aaj dus bara coffee pini padegi.. Varna sojauga meh saachi bata raha hu. HARSH (sarcastic) Aur phir duss bara gante aap washroom meh nuclear baam gole fodoge. 5. V snaps harsh’s ears with his fingers. Harsh brushes him off. HARSH (CONT’D) Harrasament aur battery keh charge meh andar kar duga tujhe. V chuckles. As Harsh & V are walkin’ .. two beautiful women are walkin’ towards them. Harsh & V make way for them. Those two beautiful women leave. Harsh checks them out as they are walkin’. V snaps his fingers in front of harsh as he see harsh checkin’ those women out. Harsh touches his earlobes whilst turnin’ towards V. Harsh clenches his teeth in a say cheese manner. V shakes his head whilst smilin’. V (smilin’) Paapi hai tu.. HARSH Aur unn papo ka karz roz adaa karta hu meh. Harsh & V start walkin’ back towards the coffee corner. It’s still pretty far. All of a sudden V stops as he notices this new beautiful woman - EARLY 20’S - SUHANA - on the table near him. Suhana is typin’ somethin’ on her computer whilst drinkin’ her glass of water. Suhana then looks at bunch of papers on her keyboard & starts circlin’ on them with her pencil. V Harsh voh kon hai ? Harsh looks at suhana & smiles. HARSH I know her.. Meri dost ki behen hai. V looks at harsh. V is lil suprised. V Dost ? HARSH Technically woh dost ladki hai .. Female dost hai meri. V gives harsh a puzzled look like “What the heck are you talkin’ about?”. V then turns towards suhana. V is starin’ at suhana. Harsh looks at v starin’ at her. Harsh then looks at suhana & chuckles. 6. V Khubsurat lagti hai.. shaant .. Masoom. Intro karwana harsh mera ! Harsh smirks & gives V a look. HARSH Hatt ! Mandap khol ke rakha hai tere liye mene yaha ? Aur vese bhi high maintenance lagti hai... V Milne toh wali nai. 100% iska koi gadha boyfreind hoga. HARSH 22 ki hai bhai .. 10-20 ladke gum rahe hoge iske aage piche. V looks at harsh with a surprised face. V Kya ? 22 ki hai ! Tab toh cancel rakho. Buddhi kam hoti hai in 20 somethin’ ladkiyo meh. Harsh looks at v & chuckles. HARSH Tere liye toh phir 100 saal ki buddhi dundhe geh... Usme buddhi bhari padi hogi... Aristotle ki aulad ! V sulks. Harsh chuckles. HARSH (CONT’D) Chal varna yahi pura din nikkal jayega.. Isseh dekhte dekhte. Harsh & V start walkin’ towards the canteen area in the corner. As harsh & v are walkin’ .. a sharp lookin’ woman - White shirt & black pants - Aarti - in her 30’s walks towards them without even botherin’ to look at them or ask them to move aside .. her fierce look is enough to make Harsh & V make some room for her. Aarti divides them. Aarti walks thru them. Harsh & V turn back to look at her as she walks right thru them. Aarti just keeps walkin’ .. with a file in her one hand & the coffee in her other hand. V Iski ankhien toh thikh hai ? Hummeh rondh kar chali jati agar side nai dete isko toh.
