👉 Total: 28–30 min (perfect short film runtime).
📌 Themes

· Friendship & Ego – chhoti baaton me ladayi, par ant me dosti jeet jaati hai.
· Innocence – baccha hamesha asli wisdom deta hai.
🎶 Sound & Music Ideas
· Tapri ke liye – soft sheher ke sounds (rickshaw, cycle bell, hawkers).

👉 Matlab ab aapka idea ek complete 30-minute short film ke structure me taiyar hai.
👉 Pehle ek baat clear kar du: yahan poore 30 pages (≈ 5000–6000 words) ek hi reply me dena technically mumkin nahi hai (space limit ke wajah se). Lekin main ise aapke liye proper screenplay format me scene-by-scene likh dunga. Iska best tareeqa hoga:
1. Main structure + pehle 4–5 pages (Act 1 ka pura detailed screenplay) abhi likhta hoon.
2. Agle messages me step-by-step Act 2 aur Act 3 expand karenge.
3. End me aapko ek final compiled screenplay (30 pages) dunga, chahe PDF ho ya text form.
🎬 Screenplay Draft – Ek Cup Chai Ka Hungama
(Roman Hindi, proper screenplay style)
FADE IN:
EXT. MOHAN KI TAPRI – SUBAH (8:00 AM)
A narrow gali of a small town. Rickshaw bells. Hawkers shouting. A tea stall (tapri) with faded blue paint, “MOHAN CHAI” written in chalk.
MOHAN (40s), energetic but sarcastic, sets up his stall. Kettle steams. Cutting glasses clink.
Enter BHOLA (30s) – round face, loud, full of complaints.
Enter JUGNU (28) – thin, peacemaker, easy laugh.
They order chai.
BHOLA
Mohan bhai, aaj chai me pyaar kam aur paani zyada lag raha hai.
MOHAN
(rolling eyes, sarcastic)
Aur tumhare jokes me hansi kam aur beizzati zyada lag rahi hai.
JUGNU
(grinning)
Arre bhai, chai peene aaye ho ya kushti ladne?
(Side CUSTOMERS chuckle. Mohan smirks, Bhola fake-angry look banata hai.)
EXT. TAPRI – CONTINUOUS
Bhola sip leta hai, face twist karta hai.
BHOLA
(acting like critic)
Taste notes: halke mitti ke flavour ke saath… disappointment ka aftertaste.
MOHAN
(banging kettle)
Arre oye Gordon Ramsay ke chhote cousin! Free me milti toh samajhta, paisa de
ke complain kar raha hai!
Jugnu tries to calm both. Suddenly, ek baccha (CHAI CHOR, 10 years) sneaks in, grabs a chai glass… and RUNS.
BHOLA
(shouting)
Arre! Chai chor! Roko usse!!
MOHAN
(pointing)
Oye! Woh meri banayi thi!
BHOLA
Lekin woh meri thi!
JUGNU
(half laughing, half panicking)
Yaar… ek cup chai par World War 3 mat shuru karo. Bhaago!
EXT. SMALL TOWN GALI – DAY
CHASE BEGINS.
– Bhola, Mohan, Jugnu chasing the kid.
– Rickshaw puller gets almost toppled.
– A sabziwali screams as Bhola knocks over her aloo basket.
– A dog joins chase, barking.
JUGNU
(daudte hue)
Itni tez daud toh main school race me bhi nahi lagata tha!
BHOLA
(laughing breathlessly)
Teri daud toh sirf samose ke liye tez hoti thi!
Mohan slips on spilled pani, curses.
EXT. TRAFFIC SIGNAL – CONTINUOUS
The kid zigzags through traffic.
A HAWALDAR whistles.
HAWALDAR
Arre o! Red light pe daud rahe ho? Fine lagega!
MOHAN
(loud)
Oye, fine chai chor pe lagao, hum pe nahi!
They keep running. Crowd laughs.
EXT. MARKET ALLEY – FEW MINS LATER
Kid hides behind a cart. Bhola and Mohan argue.
BHOLA
Clear hai. Chai meri thi. Maine order diya tha.
MOHAN
Aur banayi maine. Tumhare bina chai hoti, but mere bina chai hi nahi hoti!
JUGNU
(dramatic)
Bhai, tum dono ki ego se zyada garam toh ye kettle hai.
They continue chase.
(Abhi tak ~5 screenplay pages ho gaye – Act 1 setup + chase ki shuruaat.)
🎬 Act 2 – Ek Cup Chai Ka Hungama
EXT. SMALL TOWN GALI – CONTINUOUS
(Chai chor baccha narrow gali me bhaag raha hai. Mohan, Bhola aur Jugnu uske peeche. Gali me rickshaw, sabzi ki tokri, aur roadside dukaanen.)
JUGNU
(huffing, puffing)
Arre… yaar, mujhe lag raha hai chai chor se zyada meri jaan nikal jaayegi!
BHOLA
(daudte hue)
Tu bas bhag… samose milenge toh energy refill ho jaayegi!
(Mohan slips on mud, girta hai. Side log hans padte hain.)
MOHAN
(gussa karke, chilata hai)
Hasa kya rahe ho? Camera lao, viral kar do mujhe!
EXT. BAZAAR MARKET ROAD – DAY
(The kid jumps over sabzi ke crates. Bhola tries to copy, but phans jata hai aloo ki tokri me.)
SABZIWALI
(angry)
Oye! Mere aloo kaun chura raha hai?
BHOLA
(confused)
Main chai chor ke peeche tha… aloo chor ban gaya!
(Market crowd laughs. Jugnu pulls him out.)
EXT. CHAURAHA – FEW SECONDS LATER
(A traffic jam. Kid squeezes through auto-rickshaws. Mohan tries but phans jata hai ek auto ke beech.)
AUTO DRIVER
Arre bhai, yeh auto hai, gym ka dumbbell nahi! Dhakka kyun de raha hai?
MOHAN
(irritated)
Chup kar! Agar tera auto chai pe chalne lag jaaye na, toh mujhe teri zaroorat
hi na ho!
(Bhola tries to climb a cycle-rickshaw but falls flat. Jugnu facepalms.)
EXT. LAKE SIDE PATH – CONTINUOUS
(Chase slows. Teeno thak gaye hain.)
JUGNU
(stop karte hue, saans phool kar)
Main toh give up kar raha hoon. Ek cup chai ke liye meri phuphu ki shaadi me
jitna nacha tha, usse zyada daud gaya hoon!
BHOLA
(smirking)
Tab bhi tumhe ladoo zyada aur sharam kam mili thi.
(Jugnu throws slipper at him, misses. Mohan interrupts.)
MOHAN
Arre chup! Tum dono comedy show ho ya runners? Baccha abhi bhi door nahi gaya.
EXT. SCHOOL WALL – DAY
(The kid climbs a half wall and jumps into school playground. Teeno peechhe se deewar par latakte hain.)
BHOLA
(struggling)
Mohan… tu chai banata hai ya rock climbing training deta hai?
MOHAN
(kheechte hue)
Arre dono karta hoon… par paise sirf chai ke milte hain!
(All three topple inside the school yard. Kids laugh, clap.)
SCHOOL TEACHER (40s)
(scolding)
Yeh kya ho raha hai? Din bhar ke bacche ka class disturb kar rahe ho!
JUGNU
(sheepishly)
Sorry madam, bas ek cup chai ke peeche bhaag rahe hain.
(Teacher gives a “are you serious?” look.)
EXT. CITY LANE – FEW MIN LATER
(They finally corner the kid in ek chhota nukkad. Baccha cheekh kar cup upar uthata hai jaise Olympic medal ho.)
CHAI CHOR (kid)
(teasing)
Pakad ke dikhao! Ye cup toh main hi champion hoon!
BHOLA
(stomping)
Oye champion! Chai toh meri thi!
MOHAN
Shut up! Meri banayi hui thi!
JUGNU
(dramatic sigh)
Aaj pata chala… ek cup chai duniya ka sabse bada asli IPL trophy hai.
EXT. RANDOM BACKYARD – DAY
(Sudden chaos — dog again appears, barking. Kid throws a biscuit to distract it. Bhola tries same trick, dog chases him instead.)
BHOLA
(screaming)
Arre! Maine biscuit diya tha, mujhe kyun khaane aa gaya?!
MOHAN
(laughs sarcastically)
Tujhe dekh ke dog ne socha – biscuit bonus mila!
(Jugnu laughs hysterically, falls on the ground.)
EXT. NUKKAD / DEAD END – DAY
(Finally sab thak kar gir jaate hain. Kid disappears into galli. Mohan, Bhola aur Jugnu ek dusre ko ghoorte hain.)
BHOLA
(grumpy)
Ab toh lagta hai woh cup gayi.
MOHAN
(gussa)
Tumhari wajah se gaya. Agar tumne mujhse argue na kiya hota toh main usse pakad
leta!
JUGNU
(pointing to both)
Arre! Tum dono ke ego ka size chai ke kettle se bhi bada hai.
(Silence. Sab heavily breathe karte hain. Screen holds.)

🎬 Act 3 – Ek Cup Chai Ka Hungama
EXT. NUKKAD – SHAAM KE NAZDIK
(Mohan, Bhola aur Jugnu thake hue roadside baithe hain. Saans phool rahi hai. Sabhi log crowd banakar hans rahe hain unki haalat dekh ke.)
BHOLA
(haar man kar)
Bas… ab main retire ho raha hoon. Ek cup chai ke liye meri poori jawaani nikal
gayi.
MOHAN
(irritated)
Jawaani? Tere paas toh starting package bhi nahi tha.
JUGNU
(laughing, coughing)
Aaj confirm ho gaya… tum dono ki daud sirf ego ki battery pe chalti hai.
(Teeno chup ho jaate hain. Background me ek soft shehnai baj rahi hai.)
EXT. NUKKAD – FEW MOMENTS LATER
(Suddenly, wahi baccha – Chai Chor – wapas aata hai. Uske haath me ek tray hai jisme teen garam garam cutting chai rakhi hai.)
CHAI CHOR
(muskurake, innocent tone)
Bhaiyya… yeh lo. Main mazaak kar raha tha. Chai toh dosti ke liye hoti hai,
ladayi ke liye nahi.
(Teeno usse hairani se dekhte hain.)
BHOLA
(pointing, shocked)
Matlab… tu hamari chai ka Don nikla?
MOHAN
(grinning)
Nahi re… yeh toh Mohan Chai ka brand ambassador ban gaya!
EXT. NUKKAD – CONTINUOUS
(Baccha tray unhe deta hai. Mohan ek cup uthata hai aur Bhola ko pass karta hai.)
MOHAN
(sarcastic)
Lo, ye cup… tumhari shaadi ki tarah. Tumhare naam ka, par kharch mera.
BHOLA
(smiling)
Haan, aur taste bhi tumhari shaadi jaisa… thoda kadwa, thoda meetha.
JUGNU
(sip le kar)
Aur thoda garam… jaise tum dono ki behas!
(Teeno hans padte hain. Crowd bhi clap karta hai.)
EXT. NUKKAD – FEW SECONDS LATER
(Chhoti si crowd gathered. Mohan bacche ke kandhe par haath rakhta hai.)
MOHAN
(grand style)
Arre chotu… tu toh asli hero nikla. Chal, Mohan Chai Franchise me brand
ambassador ban ja.
BHOLA
(grinning)
Aur poster par likhna: “Ek cup chai = teenon ki dosti ki guarantee.”
JUGNU
(final sip, philosophical)
Dekha? Chai se zyada garam sirf dost ki nok-jhok hoti hai.
EXT. TAPRI – SUNSET
(Crowd disperse hoti hai. Mohan apni tapri band kar raha hai. Bhola aur Jugnu side me chai finish karte hain. Baccha unke saath baith kar biscuit khata hai. Light comic music chalta hai.)
BHOLA
(softly, smiling)
Kal bhi aisi hi chai milegi na?
MOHAN
(smirk)
Kal double price, kyunki aaj ka drama free me mila tha.
(Teeno fir hans padte hain.)
