When Love and Hate Collide

This is a movie story which i wrote which i want to make it. So if Subhash Ghai visits this Blog - he sure knows where to get in touch with me. Its called as "When Love & Hate Collide". As far as the story goes, here it is

As Fatima acknowledged in her penultimate statement of hers, “this movie also has lots of masala in it except for the story line.” I am here to fill in the gap. With due permissions from Fatima ji, I thought of this story to be apt to fit in to the whole scenario.

Though I was not present in the location physically, excellent screenplay and visualization description helped me a lot in writing this story to fit in to the already selected low budgeted locations. Thanks to Fatima’s keyboard and Directors camera.

When Love & Hate Collide

Story starts off with our hero Raj driving on the Necklace Road in his new Red Corvette.

He works in Microsoft office in HiTech City. He is obviously late for a meeting. Right on Tank Bund bus stop, he sees an extremely beautiful girl. She is wearing a white dress with flowers on it. He is mesmerized by her eyes. He parks his vehicle and comes over to the girl and initiates a conversation. She is busy with her newspaper trying to solve her SuDoKu puzzle. During the conversation Raj learns that the name of the girl is Swarna Bhat and they both share the passion for Puzzles. Girl is a bit nervous with talking to strangers but he is making her comfy by his puzzle solving methods. Together, sitting there – with wind blowing – they solve the puzzle. Sensing that conversation is not going forward – he tries a last attempt to extend the meet. He tells her about a new Puzzle Garden open in the city and it seems it is awesome and if she is interested to visit with him. After the usual girly nakhras – she finally agrees. Off they go to Puzzle Garden.

After a combined joint effort of running through the maze – as expected they crack the maze. ( Director, I need you to use the same camera effects which RGV used in SHIVA). Both are exhausted and tired. They go the nearby Chanakya Hotel and have Biriyani & Ice Cream. First seeds of love are sowed into the Swarna’s heart. Raj drops Swarna in her Township Apartments and they xchange fone nos as well.

Overnight, Raj cannot sleep. He keeps thinking about the wonderful time he spent in the maze with Swarna. (Well, if we are making a Telugu movie – I will forcefully insert a dream song here else forget it. Expensive) Whereas Swarna, unknown of the turmoil which Raj is undergoing is sleeping soundly in her home. Raj cannot control his feelings anymore. He looks at the watch and it is midnight. He sneaks out of his house, takes his car out and goes near Swarna’s house. Parks it a few yards from her house. He calls her and wakes her up. She is startled to receive a call at this hour but she was expecting this call though her mind will deny it but her heart longed for it. She comes out and Raj grabs her hand and asks her to come over with him as he has to show her something. Swarna is puzzled, shocked, surprised, scared all rolled into one. But her heart wins over the mind and she agrees to go with him. They zoom past through some unfamiliar roads and there in the horizon is Charminar in its full glory – lights magnifying the beauty. At this ghastly hours – area around Bangle Stores did not look all that scary. Is it him or is it the empty roads? The eerie silence is disturbed by the VROOOOOM.

The place looked familiar to Swarna but she was mesmerized with the person next to her. He took her to an elevated place and pointed at something which initially looked like empty space but it crystallized in her sight. It was the 7 Tombs. Raj proclaimed his undying love to the damsel next to him claiming that he wanted to build an 8th tomb for her as he not only want to live with her now but even spend time with her in that place after their death also. Words are not coming out of her mouth. Eyes turn a little bit moist. Raj notices a little smile on her angelic face and there comes our song. He whispers his love to her and the whisper can be heard loudly as we are near the Queens Cabin. Whew!

Song will be shot in Golconda Fort. Since our choreographer is a kid – no tough steps eh! Heroine will be just running around with Golconda ruins in the background. (Director – I am inspired by Super – Ayesha Takia song. U better shoot it the same way.) Well, wrapping it up quickly – we have love birds in our hands. Well, nothing great. No twists and turns till now. Ok, here we go. Raj decides to go to IMAX theatres that day. So he and Swarna end up at the box office. (or ticket counter). 2 movies running. Superman Returns & Harry Potter – 4. Raj wants to see the former but Swarna wants to see the later. They have a tiff as both are not ready to budge. They fight for few seconds and our ultra sensitive Swarna goes home in a huff.

INTERMISSION

Due to simple ego reasons like who should call and apologize first – time flies. No one calls. Raj gets busy with his work. He is sent to “namma bengaluru” for some Project work and he takes an A/C coach as he is health conscious. Enter millionaire Rahul. He is THE man. Handsome, Rich, good habits, etc. To put in a nutshell, he is all good qualities put into one. This guy is the selected groom by Swarna’s parents for her. He also like Swarna. Currently Swarna is going through a low phase as she has this lovers tiff with Raj. Rahul comes along and meets Swarna’s parents and they are mighty excited to get the daughter married off to the MOST eligible bachelor in the world. Rahul talks with Swarna oozing with charm and pangs of guilt and attraction strike Swarna simultaneously known only to her. She calls Raj to feel the comfort factor and she gets disconnected tone as Raj got a new SIM for Bangalore. Swarna is all confused and worried. She is getting into the vortex of Rahul but not able to decide on Raj. Did Raj dump her? All these questions bother her endlessly.

Finally with much heartpain, Swarna caves in to her parents wishes. She does like Rahul but she had given her heart to Raj. But since there is no response from Raj – she gives in to the goodness and irresistible honesty of Rahul. Engagement dates are announced. Swarna gives a last attempt to meet Raj and goes to his office where she is told that he is in Bangalore. She is more angry that Raj never told her about it. She did not hear that he is coming back but assumes he is gone for good. Rahul presents Swarna with the 4.3 Crore diamond which is an exact replica of the one found in Salar Jung Museum. Marriage is performed in Birla Temple.

Well, song time. (why do u think folks keep songs unnecessarily when it is not needed? Cmon, how can I have smoke breaks?). Rahul & Swarna rush to the Airport for the whoosh honemoon travel. We can fit in a song here with all the Trained Dancers from Ramoji University. And for kicks we will have Snow World shots to show they are in good old Switzerland. Honeymoon over. Back to apna desh. Regular life starts off. They lead a good life. Rahul turns out to be a great husband and Swarna a cool wife and they make a great couple.

The End. U think so! NAH.

Raj finishes his project and he is coming back. He is all eager to ask for apology for his childish act and wants Swarna to come back to his life. With these thoughts in mind – he rushes to Swarna’s house. Meets daddy and comes to know of the news. (Director, I want a really intense scene here. Please let me direct this one scene. Please.) There on the table he sees the wedding snaps of Swarna. He sneaks one picture of the couple , finds out where she lives and walks off. He is walking but his whole life is crashing all around him. He is in a state of shock and it has numbed his feelings. His heart is hurting in one side but fuming rage is rising in his heart. He goes home and shuts in his room. He has just one question in his mind for Swarna. WHY? WHY? His whole world comes tumbling down. He is in deep turmoil. How can he get out of this rot? He needs Swarna. Swarna is his life. She is his soul.

Slowly an evil thought comes to his mind and he gets up and rushes to the Airport again. He will regain Swarna at any cost. At any cost. He will get her back to love him again.

He buys a return ticket to Mumbhai. Lands in Mumbai Airport. ( Director, please get the name Plate changed in RFC please). Takes a taxi. All along he has this chilling expression on his face. He stops near Talwalkars Gym. He goes in and asks for Anna. Huge body builder takes him inside into a dimly lit room. Anna walks in. He has this menacing bloodshot red eyes . He doesn’t talk much but just nods his head. Raj takes out the marriage picture of Swarna. Tears off the pic in the middle and gives Rahuls part to Anna and keeps Swarnas with himself for good memories. Raj wants revenge. Simple. He says SUPARI in a chilling voice. Anna nods his head and the money matter is quickly resolved. Raj walks out of they gym back to Hyderabad.

Next scene is a slow motion one. Anna is in his trademark Ambassador car. He is surveying the place before he goes for the kill. He is slowly gliding in front of Rahuls palace. (We can use FKs house in RFC for this). We see Rahul enjoying his Sunday newspaper sipping coffee. We see Anna getting down from the car with a bag on his shoulder and the barrel of a uzzo poking out of the bag. Scene cut. Show Raj eating Hot Channa & drinking soothing Hot Coffee. His phone rings. Anxiously, he answers the phone. Anna is on the other side. (We can cut the scene to show the screen in half – Anna standing in front of the Hospital. ) Anna is smiling. He tells Raj

“Eh bhai, work is finished. It is a grand success.”

Raj: “ Oh good. So is the guy dead?”

Anna: “Oh u bet! He is dead. I am done. Oh, by the way – while I was shooting him his wife interfered and I killed her also. No charge for you though.” And Cuts the fone.

END Credits roll in.
