🎬 Romantic short film - Tum Aaye The... - Complete Blueprint for Writing a Script & Screenplay (30 Minutes)

Likho Script August 01, 2025

 🎬 Title: "Tum Aaye The..."

(A short romantic story of timing, silence… and one last coffee)

🎬 Title: "Tum Aaye The..."

1. Concept / Idea (Logline)

Do saal ke intezaar ke baad ek writer aur uska lost love ek café me dobara milte hain – lekin waqt, yaad aur choices unke beech ek khamosh khel khelte hain.

2. Story Outline

  • Aarav ek writer hai jo apni purani mohabbat Tara ka intezaar kar raha hai.
  • Tara ne 2 saal pehle ek vada kiya tha – agar yaad raha toh Valentine’s Day shaam 6:45 baje Café Verona me milenge.
  • Baarish, delay aur ek galatfahmi ke chalte dono ek dusre ko bas miss kar dete hain.
  • Lekin destiny unhe ek hi coffee ke cup ke neeche phir se mila deti hai.

3. Characters (Bio Cards)

  • Aarav (27) – Introverted, thoughtful, creative writer. Uska life apni kahaniyon me uljha hai, par dil ek hi insaan ke liye rukha hua hai.
  • Tara (25) – Outspoken, bubbly, independent. Dil se expressive, par decisions me thodi impulsive. Usne 2 saal pehle Aarav ki life se door jaane ka tough decision liya tha.
  • Supporting Staff – Café ka waiter/manager jo unke beech silent witness hai.

4. Plot Structure (3 Acts)

Act 1 – Setup (0–10 min): Aarav ka wait, flashback of station goodbye.
Act 2 – Confrontation (10–20 min): Baarish, note milna, “missed moment” ka illusion. Audience bhi doubt me rehti hai.
Act 3 – Resolution (20–30 min): Real encounter, coffee share, emotional closure.

5. Script (Screenplay Format)

Already tumne diya hai – usko expand karna hai with:

  • Café ambience shots
  • Aarav ke internal monologues
  • Tara ke POV flashbacks
  • Longer dialogue exchange in final scene

6. Scene Breakdown

  1. Café intro – Aarav waiting
  2. Flashback station scene
  3. Café tension build-up (rain, clock)
  4. Note ka twist
  5. Parallel flashback – Tara’s POV
  6. Misunderstanding
  7. Final reveal – Tara arrives
  8. Coffee share & closure

7. Dialogues, Subtext & Themes

  • Dialogues: Simple, heartfelt, with pauses.
  • Subtext: Love + timing = destiny vs choice.
  • Themes: Missed opportunities, second chances, time as character.

8. Treatment / Synopsis

Ek poetic romance jismein café aur rain backdrop ke character ban jaate hain. Film ek “what if” aur “finally” ke beech ka safar hai.

9. Storyboard / Shot Division

  • Wide: Rooftop café + rain establishing shot.
  • Medium Close: Aarav waiting, tapping fingers.
  • Insert: Clock striking 6:45.
  • Tracking: Tara outside café with umbrella.
  • Over-the-shoulder: Coffee cup with two hands holding.
  • Fade Out: Song line.

10. Dialogue Drafts & Revisions

  • Aarav ke monologues thode aur lyrical banane.
  • Tara ke dialogues spontaneous aur teasing tone me rehne.
  • End pe dono ke words hopeful but open-ended.

11. Scene Pacing & Runtime

  • Act 1 – 10 min (slow build, nostalgia heavy)
  • Act 2 – 10 min (tension, rain, note twist)
  • Act 3 – 10 min (payoff, reunion, warmth)

12. Character Arcs

  • Aarav – From “waiting in doubt” → “acceptance” → “fulfilment.”
  • Tara – From “fear of confronting past” → “moment of honesty” → “embrace of love.”

13. World-Building & Research

  • Café décor: cozy, fairy lights, jazz.
  • Weather: drizzle + heavy rain (metaphor for emotions).
  • Prop: Paper note, coffee cup, wristwatch.

14. Tone & Genre Consistency

  • Tone: Poetic, melancholic but hopeful.
  • Genre: Romantic drama (short).
  • Visual feel: Warm tones, rain reflection shots.

15. Mini Checklist Before Writing

✅ Clear logline
✅ Defined 3-act structure
✅ Strong character backstories
✅ Subtext in dialogues
✅ Symbolic props (note, coffee, rain, clock)
✅ Consistent tone & pacing
✅ Emotional closure in climax
✅ Visual motifs (watch, rain, café lights)

🎬 Full 30-Minute Script Draft (Roman Hindi)

ACT 1 – Setup (0–10 min)

EXT. CAFÉ VERONA – SHAAM 6:40 PM
(Coziest rooftop café, halki baarish. Aarav pehle se table pe baitha hai. Ek notebook aur pen saamne rakha hai. Clock dikhata hai 6:40.)

Dialogue/Monologue

AARAV (apne aap se, diary likhte hue):
"14 February... do saal ho gaye. Shayad yeh sirf ek bewakoofi hai, ya shayad ek kahani ka climax. Kya wo aayegi? Ya main bas khud ko fool bana raha hoon?"

(Waiter coffee serve karta hai. Aarav baar-baar ghadi dekhta hai.)

WAITER (casual tone me):
Sir, koi join karne wala hai?

AARAV (muskurate hue, lekin nervous):
Haan... dekhte hain, aa jaye toh.

(Flashback trigger hota hai – Station scene 2 years ago.)

FLASHBACK – EXT. RAILWAY STATION – DO SAAL PEHLE
(Tara apna luggage le kar train ke darwaze pe khadi hai. Aarav udhaas sa uske peeche chal raha hai.)

TARA:
"Agar kabhi do saal baad bhi mujhe yaad karoge... toh 14 Feb, shaam 6:45, Café Verona. Main wahi rahungi – ya shayad aur zyada apni."

(Train chalti hai. Aarav bas khada reh jata hai.)

BACK TO PRESENT – CAFÉ VERONA – 6:50 PM
(Aarav diary band karta hai. Baarish tez hone lagti hai. Aarav dusra coffee order karta hai.)

AARAV (andar ki awaaz, VO):
"She was always the storm... aur main sirf ek chhata. Lekin aaj... kya wo phir se barsegi?"

ACT 2 – Confrontation (10–20 min)

CAFÉ VERONA – 6:52 PM
(Ek paper note hawa me udkar Aarav ke paas girta hai. Usme likha hai:
"Main aayi thi... tum thodi der pehle chale gaye the. –T")

(Aarav ka chehra safed pad jata hai. Uske haath kaanp rahe hain. Wo note ko fir se padhta hai. Camera zoom-in karta hai.)

AARAV (andar ki awaaz, VO):
"Nahi... yeh sach nahi ho sakta. Main toh yahin tha. Phir... kaise?"

(Audience ke liye FLASHBACK – Tara café ke bahar khadi thi. Aarav phone par busy tha, isliye usne dekha nahi. Tara muskurakar chali gayi.)

BACK TO PRESENT
(Aarav ka dil toot raha hai. Wo note ko fold karta hai, khada hota hai aur chhodne lagta hai.)

AARAV (apne aap se, tuti hui awaaz):
"Shayad... kahani ka end yahi tha."

(Baarish aur tez ho jaati hai. Aarav exit ke taraf badhta hai. Tabhi ek awaaz sunai deti hai.)

TARA (off-screen):
"Mujhe laga tum coffee pehle pee chuke hoge..."

(Aarav rukta hai. Dheere se palat kar dekhta hai. Tara entrance pe khadi hai. Puri bheegi, aankhon me chamak. Aarav disbelief me hai.)

AARAV (shock me):
"Tum...? Yeh kaise...?"

TARA (smiling, thodi sharmate hue):
"Note mainne chhod diya tha. Bas ek darr tha... ke shayad tum aaoge hi nahi. Lekin tum toh yahin the."

(Aarav uske paas jaata hai, dono ke beech awkward silence.)

ACT 3 – Resolution (20–30 min)

CAFÉ VERONA – SHAAM 7:00 PM
(Dono ek hi table pe baith jaate hain. Waiter unhe ek hi cup me double coffee serve karta hai.)

Dialogue Exchange

TARA (coffee sip karte hue, softly):
"Do saal pehle station pe... tumne roka kyun nahi?"

AARAV (guilt me, halki awaaz):
"Main soch raha tha... tum ruk jaogi. Apne faisle se. Aur main tumhare raaste me kabhi nahi aana chahta tha."

TARA (aankhon me aansu):
"Aur main soch rahi thi tum khud mujhe rok loge. Shayad dono hi zid kar rahe the."

(Silence. Sirf baarish ki awaaz. Dono ek dusre ki taraf dekhte hain.)

AARAV (haath pakad kar):
"Shayad hum dono ko waqt ka test dena tha. Aur lagta hai... hum pass ho gaye."

TARA (halki muskaan ke saath):
"Ya phir... waqt humse maafi maang raha hai."

(Dono hansi share karte hain. Music rise karta hai. Baarish dheere dheere ruk jaati hai.)

Closing Beat

(Café lights warm ho jaati hain. Camera unke haath par zoom-in karta hai jo ek cup coffee ke neeche bandhe hote hain.)

TARA:
"Tum aaye the... aur waqt sach me ruk gaya tha."

AARAV (smiling):
"Aur ab... waqt dobara chal pada hai. Hum dono ke liye."

(Camera zoom-out. Rooftop café, rainwater reflecting neon lights. Jazz music fade-out hota hai. Title card appear: “Tum Aaye The…”)

FADE OUT.

Runtime Fillers (for 30 mins)

✔ Aarav ke diary monologues (3–4 min)
✔ Flashbacks (Station + Tara POV) (5–6 min)
✔ Note twist & emotional breakdown (5 min)
✔ Reunion dialogues (7–8 min)
✔ Coffee sharing & silences (3–4 min)
✔ Music montage shots (2–3 min)

👉 Ye script naturally 28–30 mins runtime tak stretch ho jaayega agar silences, pauses, aur visual storytelling ko maintain kiya jaye.
