🎬 Horror Shrt Film - Darwaaza Band Karna - Complete Blueprint for Writing a Script & Screenplay (30 Minutes)

Likho Script August 01, 2025

 🎬 Title: "Darwaaza Band Karna"    

(A Horror Short Film about a Door that Never Closes Alone...)

🎬 Title: Darwaaza Band Karna

Genre: Psychological Horror / Supernatural Thriller
Logline: Ek working girl ek naye flat me shift hoti hai jahan ek purana darwaaza baar-baar khul jaata hai. Jab vo us darwaaze ke raaz ko kholti hai, uski zindagi us haunted “door” ke control me chali jaati hai.

1. Concept / Idea (Logline)

Ek working girl naye sheher me ek purane flat me shift hoti hai, jahan ek bedroom ka darwaaza apne aap khul jaata hai. Jab vo uske peeche छिपे raaz ko kholti hai, darwaaza uski zindagi aur maut ke faisle apne control me le leta hai.

2. Story Outline

Beginning: Naina naye flat me aati hai, darwaaza baar-baar khulta hai, unknown message milta hai.
Middle: Almari, diary, balcony par black saree wali aurat; suspense aur tension build hota hai.
End: Darwaaza apne aap band hota hai, reflection me aurat dikhti hai, aur whisper confirm karta hai ki “vo wapas aayi hai.”

3. Characters (Bio Cards)

Naina (25): Independent working girl, naye sheher me shift hui hai. External goal – apna flat settle karna. Internal need – fear ka samna karna. Flaw – curiosity (jo usse aur danger me daalti hai).
Unknown Woman (Black Saree): Purani kirayedar ya trapped spirit. Goal – apna dard convey karna. Stakes – darwaaza ke zariye logon ki zindagi control karna.
Mystery Voice / Whisper: Invisible force. Acts as antagonist + warning.

4. Plot Structure (3 Acts)

Act 1 (0–25%): Flat setup, darwaaza baar-baar khulta hai, pehla message aata hai.
Act 2 (25–75%): Almari, diary, balcony apparition, suspense escalate hota hai.
Act 3 (75–100%): Darwaaza apne aap band hota hai, spirit appear hoti hai, Naina phas jaati hai.

5. Script (Screenplay Format)

  • INT./EXT. slug lines, present tense.
  • Example:

INT. LIVING ROOM – 12:30 AM 

Laptop glow karta hai. Naina kaam kar rahi hai. Peeche bedroom ka darwaaza bina hawa ke khul jaata hai. 

6. Scene Breakdown

  1. Flat me arrival – darwaaza khulta hai.
  2. Laptop work – darwaaza dubara khulta hai.
  3. First message.
  4. Kitchen diary page.
  5. Bedroom – almari + warning text.
  6. Balcony – black saree aurat.
  7. Living room – second message.
  8. Bedroom climax – darwaaza band, spirit reflection.

7. Dialogues, Subtext & Themes

Dialogues: Short, scared, broken phrases. Example: “Kaun hai? Kisne bheja yeh?”
Subtext: Door = control, confinement, aur life decisions.
Themes: Curiosity vs danger, past never dies, fear of unknown.

8. Treatment / Synopsis

Naina apne naye rented flat me raat ko darwaaza khulte hue dekhti hai. Unknown messages, diary aur ek spirit ka encounter usse darwaza ke curse ka ehsaas karwata hai. Ant me darwaaza apne aap band hota hai aur spirit wapas aati hai. Film suspense aur supernatural fear ke zariye ek claustrophobic experience deti hai.

9. Storyboard / Shot Division

  • WS: Purana flat, ek darwaaza pe focus.
  • CU: Phone screen “Unknown Message.”
  • Tracking shot: Naina bedroom ki taraf jaati hai.
  • MS: Almari khulna, diary ka close-up.
  • Low angle: Balcony par black saree aurat.
  • Final CU: Mirror me reflection alag behave karta hai.

10. Dialogue Drafts & Revisions

Original: “Main yahan se jaa rahi hoon!”
Revised: “Yeh jagah… mujhe jeene nahi degi!” (zyada impact).
Whisper Alternative: “Darwaaza tumhara nahi hai… tum darwaaze ki ho.”

11. Scene Pacing & Runtime

  • Act 1: ~7–8 min (setup + first scare).
  • Act 2: ~14–15 min (investigation + diary + balcony).
  • Act 3: ~7–8 min (climax + spirit reveal).
    Total: ~28–31 min.

12. Character Arcs

Naina: Shuru me normal aur rational → beech me curious aur restless → end me trapped aur helpless.
Spirit: Shuru me hidden → beech me warning signs → end me full reveal.

13. World-Building & Research

  • Setting: Purana rented flat (old paint, creaky doors, dim lights).
  • Props: Phone, diary, broken lock, torch, almari.
  • Research: Indian horror folktales of “haunted doors/rooms.”

14. Tone & Genre Consistency

  • Tone: Dark, eerie, suspenseful.
  • Genre: Horror + Supernatural thriller.
  • Consistency: Barish, whispers, creaky sounds, black saree repeat hota hai har major scene me.

FADE IN

INT. RENTED FLAT – RAAT 12:00 AM

NAINA (25), thaki hui par confident working girl, apne naye flat me boxes khol rahi hai. Flat purana, paint chhila hua.

Ek bedroom ka darwaaza apne aap halki si khidkhidahat se khul jaata hai.

                     NAINA (irritated)
         Pata nahi kis angle pe hai ye darwaaza… baar-baar khul jaata hai. 

Woh darwaaza zor se band karti hai, ek stool lagakar support kar deti hai.

INT. LIVING ROOM – 12:30 AM

Laptop glow. Naina kaam kar rahi hai. Peeche darwaaza phir se dhire-dhire khul jaata hai—is baar bina hawa ke.

Background me ek halki si stree ki hansi.

                     NAINA (alert, khade hote hue)
         Kaun hai? 

Silence. Phone vibrates. Screen par ek message:

“Darwaaza band kar diya? Pichhle kirayedar ne bhi kiya tha.”
Sender: UNKNOWN

                     NAINA (frozen, whisper)
         Kisne bheja yeh? 

Phone haath se gir jaata hai.

INT. KITCHEN – 12:35 AM

Naina paani peene aati hai. Paani girta hai, glass tut jaata hai. Uske neeche ek chhoti diary ka page pada hai jisme likha hai:
“Band karoge… to andar phas jaaoge.”

Naina diary ka page uthati hai.

INT. BEDROOM – 12:40 AM

Torch on. Darwaaza khula. Room me ek purani almari. Lock laga hai. Almari ke upar likha hai:

“Is darwaaze ko kholna, wapas band karna se zyada mushkil hai.”

                     NAINA (under breath)
         Mujhe yeh nahi dekhna chahiye... 

Curiosity. Almari kholti hai. Andar:

·         Ek black saree pehni aurat ki photo.

·         Ek diary.

·         Ek broken door lock.

Diary kholti hai. Likha hota hai:
“Main yeh flat chhod kar jaa rahi hoon… kyunki darwaaza sirf ek baar band hota hai, uske baad sab khatam.”

INT. LIVING ROOM – 12:45 AM

Phone fir vibrates. New message:
“Ek baar khol diya… ab darwaaza khud decide karega kab band hoga.”

Lights blink.

EXT. BALCONY – 12:50 AM

Baarish tez. Neeche ek black saree wali aurat khadi hai. Face nahi dikh raha. Phone screen par wohi unknown number glow karta hai.

Naina cheekhne lagti hai. Aurat gayab.

INT. BEDROOM – 1:00 AM

Darwaaza zor se band ho jaata hai. Lights off. Sirf diary ke pages udte hain.

Background whisper: “Main wapas aayi hoon…”

Naina torch ghumati hai—reflection me usi black saree wali aurat khadi hai.

Naina cheekhti hai. Screen black ho jaata hai.

FADE OUT

BLACK SCREEN – SLOW WHISPER:
“Darwaaza band karna seekh lo… warna zindagi khud khul jaayegi.”

⏱ Runtime Breakdown

·         Act 1 (Setup – Flat & Darwaaza problem): 7–8 min

·         Act 2 (Messages, Almari, Diary, Balcony encounter): 14–15 min

·         Act 3 (Darwaaza band hota hai, supernatural climax): 7–8 min
Total: ~28–31 minutes
