Likho Script August 01, 2025

 🎬 Title: "11:11 – Aakhri Call"

🎬 Final Runtime : ~30–32 minutes (agar cinematic pauses, ambience shots, rain/thunder aur sound design include karo).


(A thriller short film about a mysterious phone call at midnight)

🎬 Title: "11:11 – Aakhri Call"

Genre: Psychological Thriller / Horror
Logline: Ek aadhi raat ka phone call ek ladke ko uske purane raaz ke saamne laakar khada kar deta hai—aur usse confess karne ya khud mit jaane ka ultimatum deta hai.

1. Concept / Idea (Logline)

Aadhi raat ek “private number” se aaya call ek ladke ko uske dost ki maut ke raaz ka samna karne par majboor karta hai—agar usne confess na kiya to vo khud “vanish” ho jaayega.

2. Story Outline

Beginning: Rahul ko ek mysterious phone call aata hai, laptop me CCTV proof chalta hai.
Middle: Notes, recordings, aur flashbacks uske guilt ko samne laate hain; voice calls usse pressure karte hain.
End: Mirror ke saamne confession, reflection usse “accept” karta hai, aur Rahul vanish ho jaata hai.

3. Characters (Bio Cards)

Rahul (22): Protagonist. External goal – guilt se bachna. Internal need – sach bolkar mukti. Flaw – cowardice.
Mystery Voice: Antagonist. Logic – truth ko bahar lana. Stakes clear.
Aman (22, flashbacks): Victim aur Rahul ka dost. Symbol of guilt.
Reflection: Supernatural/metaphorical version of Rahul.

4. Plot Structure (3 Acts)

Act 1 (0–25%): Setup – call, CCTV reveal.
Act 2 (25–75%): Increasing threats, hallway, balcony, USB note, flashbacks.
Act 3 (75–100%): Mirror confession, supernatural reflection, vanish ending.

5. Script (Screenplay Format)

  • INT./EXT. slug lines, present tense.
  • Dialogue center, minimal parentheticals.
  • Example:

·         INT. ROOM – 11:10 PM 

·         Phone rings. Caller ID: PRIVATE NUMBER. 

·         RAHUL 

·         (hesitant) 

·         Hello?

6. Scene Breakdown

Scene 1: Room – mysterious call.
Scene 2: Laptop CCTV reveal.
Scene 3: Kitchen note.
Scene 4: Balcony figure.
Scene 5: Hallway + flashback.
Scene 6: Laptop auto-clips.
Scene 7: USB drive note.
Scene 8: Mirror room (confession).
Scene 9: Rooftop epilogue.

7. Dialogues, Subtext & Themes

  • Dialogues short, tense, fragmented.
  • Subtext: guilt vs truth, voice = conscience/karma.
  • Themes: confession, betrayal, fear, supernatural justice.

8. Treatment / Synopsis

A psychological thriller jisme Rahul ko ek “private number” ke calls aur videos expose karte hain. Midnight deadline ke andar confess na karne par uska existence khatam ho jaata hai. Story guilt aur supernatural punishment ke beech ghoomti hai.

9. Storyboard / Shot Division

  • WS: Dark room + laptop glow.
  • CU: Phone screen “Private Number.”
  • MS: Rahul’s reaction.
  • Tracking: Hallway walk.
  • CU: Mirror reflection speaking separately.
  • Final WS: Rooftop empty phone ringing.

10. Dialogue Drafts & Revisions

  • Mystery voice ko aur fragmented banaya jaa sakta hai (“One lie… one breath less”).
  • Rahul ka confession aur raw emotion strong hona chahiye.
  • Alternate ending: Rahul vanish instead of reflection speaking.

11. Scene Pacing & Runtime

  • Act 1: ~8–9 min.
  • Act 2: ~15–16 min.
  • Act 3: ~7–8 min.
    Total: ~30 min.

12. Character Arcs

Rahul: Guilt se bachne ki koshish → Pressure → Confession → Vanish.
Mystery Voice: Constant force → Reflection ke through payoff.

13. World-Building & Research

  • Setting: Middle-class apartment, rainstorm atmosphere.
  • Props: Phone, laptop, CCTV footage, mirror, USB.
  • Research: Authentic phone distortions, real CCTV timestamp look.

14. Tone & Genre Consistency

  • Tone: Dark, tense, claustrophobic.
  • Genre: Psychological thriller with supernatural edge.
  • Consistency: Rain, darkness, ticking clock maintain suspense.

FADE IN

INT. ROOM – RAAT 11:10 PM

Andhera. Sirf laptop ki screen glow. RAHUL (22), thaka hua, headphones utarta hai. Bahar bijli chamakti hai, barish ki boonden khidki pe gir rahi hain.

Bed par phone rakha hai. Screen glow hota hai: PRIVATE NUMBER.

Pause. Phir ring.

                     RAHUL (hesitant)
         Hello?  
 
                     MYSTERY VOICE (phone se – low, distorted)
         Tumhare paas sirf 1 minute hai.  
         Jo bola jaaye… karna padega.  
         Warna tum bhi unmein se ek ban jaoge.  
 
                     RAHUL
         K-kaun ho tum? Kaisa kaam? 

Click. Call cut. Sirf static.

INT. ROOM – 11:11 PM

Laptop screen flicker. Automatic restart. Rahasyaat se ek CCTV clip play hota hai.

Footage: Ek ladka—RAHUL—raat ko ek alley me kisi ko dhakka deta hai. Camera blur, par face clear.

                     RAHUL (shock me)
         Yeh… main hoon? Yeh video mere paas aayi kaise? 

Screen par text flash: “Confess before midnight… or vanish.”

Lights blink. Ceiling fan ruk jata hai.

INT. KITCHEN – 11:15 PM

Rahul paani peene aata hai. Hath kaanp rahe hain. Glass table par ek slip rakha hai jo pehle wahan nahi tha.

Handwritten note: “11:30 – Hallway.”

Rahul ka pulse tez.

EXT. BALCONY – 11:20 PM

Baarish tez. Rahul bahar nikalta hai. Neeche street lamp ke neeche ek aadmi khada hai… chehra clear nahi. Sirf ek umbrella aur phone glow.

Rahul cheekhne hi wala hota hai, par lamp blink karta hai… aur aadmi gayab.

INT. HALLWAY – 11:30 PM

Rahul hall ke beech me khada. Lights dim.

Flashback flashes: uska dost AMAN (22), hansi mazaak, fir ek jhagra. Push. Pani me girta hai. Silence.

Rahul wapas present me aata hai—pasina.

                     RAHUL
         Yeh koi mazaak hai… kaise pata chala unhe? 

Phone vibrates. Private Number. Rahul uthaata hai.

                     MYSTERY VOICE
         Bacchpan ka dost tha… usse dhakka diya tune.  
         Ek aur jhoot… aur teri awaaz bhi sirf recording ban jayegi. 

Line cut.

INT. ROOM – 11:40 PM

Rahul laptop kholta hai—folders khud b khud khul rahe. Ek ek clip—Rahul ke pichle ek saal ke secret moments.

·         Us raat Aman ko dhakka.

·         Uske baad police station ke saamne khada, chup.

·         Uski diary ka ek page: “If anyone finds out…”

Rahul chillaata hai. Laptop band kar deta hai.

Knock at the door.

INT. DOORWAY – SAME TIME

Rahul darwaza kholta hai. Koi nahi. Bas ek USB drive pada hai welcome mat par.

Usko plug karta hai. Ek message open hota hai:

“11:59 – Mirror Room. Last chance.”

INT. MIRROR ROOM – 11:50 PM

Rahul apne kamre me—sirf ek bada full-length mirror saamne. Clock tick tick.

Voices (whisper, distorted) uske head me:
— “Confess…”
— “Aman…”
— “Push…”

Rahul thak kar mirror ke saamne gir jata hai.

INT. MIRROR ROOM – 11:59 PM

Rahul apne reflection ke saamne. Aankhon me aansu.

                     RAHUL
         Haan… maine dhakka diya tha.  
         Galti ho gayi thi. Main darr gaya tha.  
         Main chup raha… main dost nahi tha. 

Mirror reflection freeze. Real Rahul ro raha hai.

Reflection blink karta hai—par opposite timing.

                     REFLECTION (dark voice)
         Confession accepted. 

Sudden black-out. Sirf phone ki ringtone ghoonjti hai.

EXT. ROOFTOP – SUBAH (EPILOGUE)

Camera dheere dheere roof pe jata hai. Rahul ka phone padta hai—ringing, wet in rain.

Koi nahi.

Bas ek scratched word concrete pe likha hai: “AMEN” (ya Aman?).

FADE OUT

BLACK SCREEN – PHONE RING CONTINUES

🎬 Runtime Breakdown

·         Act 1 (Setup + Call + First Threat): ~8–9 min

·         Act 2 (CCTV + Notes + Balcony + Hallway + Flashbacks): ~15–16 min
