A full-length 2-hour feature film script idea
for you — grounded in an Indian festival, emotionally rich, and designed for
the film festival circuit.
Here’s the complete concept — ready to
be expanded into a script:
🎬
Title: "Rangbhoomi"
Genre: Indie Social Drama
Language:
Hindi (with local dialects)
Duration:
Approx. 2 hours
Festival Setting:
Holi
Mood: Poetic,
Raw, Visually Striking, Emotionally Complex
🎬 Rangbhoomi — Film Development Blueprint
1. Title : Rangbhoomi
(Literally: “The Stage of Colors” — double meaning: theatre as resistance, Holi as equality.)
2. Concept / Logline
Gaon ke beech Holi aayi…
Lekin is baar rang sirf thaalon me nahi, hawaa me udh kar aasman tak pahunch gaye.
Aadi ka natak shuru hua bina permission ke.
Prahlad aur Holika ke kirdar ban kar bachchon ne sabko yaad dilaya —
“Jab aag sach ko jalana chahe, toh rang aur zyada gehra ho jaata hai.”
Panchayat cheekhi, log ruke, par rang apni baat keh chuke the.
Ek thaal se gulal utha kar pehle Suhani ke pita aur ek safai mazdoor ke haath mila diye gaye.
Aur us pal gaon ki saari “seemaayein” rang ke dhundh me ghul gayi.
Suhani ne apni anguthi mitti me phenki aur Aadi ke paas aayi.
Holi ke rangon ke tufaan me keh diya:
“Shaadi se pehle mujhe rang pehchanna tha… aur main pehchaan gayi.”
Aur phir…
Dhol bajta raha, gulal udta raha, aasman rangon me rangta gaya.
Guruji ki awaaz goonj gayi:
“Aasman rangne ki ijazat kisi se nahi milti… woh khud rang le leta hai.”
Is kahani ka antim sach bas itna hai —
👉 “Jab rang ek ho jaate hain, toh sirf insaan bachta hai.”

ACT 1 – INTRODUCTION (0–40 min)
EXT. VILLAGE – EARLY MORNING
(Gaon ke chhote se chowk mein taiyari chal rahi
hai. Ek taraf Thakur aur pandit log Holi ke rang, gulal, marigold ki mala tayar
kar rahe hain. Doosri taraf Dalit basti ke log safai kar rahe hain. Camera slow
handheld mein — dono tasveeron ko ek saath dikhata hai.)
(Background mein dhol ki halki aawaaz, lekin
alag–alag jagah se aati hai, kabhi milti nahi.)
VILLAGER
(shouting)
"Arey, rang alag rakhna! Kaun kiske rang mein mil jaaye, pata bhi na
chale."
(Camera pan karte hue — AADI ko dikhata hai, 26
saal ka, patla, aankhon mein sapna, kandhe par dhol latkaye, shaant par gehra
chehra.)
AADI
(andar hi andar, halki awaaz mein)
"Rang toh sab ek hi hai… fir kyun nafrat alag alag?"
EXT. DALIT BASTI – MORNING
(Aadi apne theatre group ke saath baitha hai —
4–5 log, rang-birange kapde, phate huye props, mask, dholak. Woh rehearsal
karte hain lekin unmein thodi thakaan aur majboori bhi hai.)
CHILD
(mask pehne hue)
"Bhaiya, hum bhi Holi khelne jaayenge na?"
AADI
(muskaan dikhakar)
"Holi hum banate hain… par humse khelne ki ijazat kaun deta hai?"
(Group mein chhota sa sannata. Sab chup ho jaate hain.)
INT. VILLAGE SCHOOL – AFTERNOON
(Suhani, 24, school teacher, blackboard par
Holi ke bare mein likh rahi hai. Uski awaaz mein narmi hai. Bachche khidki se
bahar rang–toli dekhte hain.)
SUHANI
"Bachcho, Holi ka matlab hai burai par acchai ki jeet. Prahlad bacha tha,
Holika jal gayi thi."
STUDENT
"Par madam, hamare gaon mein toh sabko alag Holi khelni padti hai."
(Suhani ruk jaati hai, chalk haath mein
freeze. Uski aankhen thodi dukh bhari.)
SUHANI
(softly)
"Kitna ajeeb hai na… jo tyohaar sabko ek kare, wohi humein alag kar raha
hai."
EXT. RIVER BANK – EVENING
(Aadi dhol bajata hua nadi ke kinare baitha
hai. Suhani udhar se guzarti hai, ruki–ruki nazar se dekhti hai. Aadi ruk jaata
hai, dhol ke sur adhoore.)
SUHANI
(thoda muskurakar)
"Sur ache hain… par udaas hain."
AADI
"Rang bina sur kaise khilte, madam ji?"
(Unki aankhon mein ek pal ke liye rishta banta hai. Hawa se gulaal uda kar girta hai paani mein. Symbolic shot.)

(Gaon ke buzurg, Thakur Pratap (50), panchayat
ke log Holi ki baithak mein baithe hain. Aadi door se khada suntar hai.)
THAKUR
PRATAP
"Yaad rakhna, Holi mein seema banaani zaroori hai. Rang bhi apne logon ke
saath… un logon ka rang alag. Zyada milan–julan se bigaad hota hai."
(Aadi ki muthi band ho jaati hai. Uske dil mein ek naya iraada ubarta hai.)
EXT. THEATRE GROUP HUT – LATE NIGHT
(Aadi apne doston ko bulata hai. Chamkeele
rang ke kapde, masks, jalti lamp ki roshni. Bachchon ko bulata hai rehearsal ke
liye.)
AADI
(jazbaat se)
"Is saal hum Holi alag manayenge. Nahi… hum sabke liye ek Holi banayenge.
Ek natak… Rangbhoomi!
Jisme rang alag na ho, caste na ho, sirf insaan ho."
(Bachche taaliyan bajate hain. Group ke log
hairaan par khush.)
(Camera slow dolly-out shot: hut ke chhote se kone mein aag ki roshni mein sab log mask pehne khade hote hain — theatre ke rang, Holi ke rang aur bagawat ke rang ek saath mil jaate hain.)

chhote bol nikaalta hai. SUHANI door se dekh rahi hai.)

BOY
"Hum unke saath kyun khade honge?"
AADI
(seedhi nazar, halka muskaan)
"Kyunki kissa Prahlad ka hai — jahan aag sabko barabar garmi deti
hai."
(Bachche dheere-dheere circle banate hain. Aadi rangon ki chhoti pichkari sabko deta hai — sab par safed gulal ka halka chhidkaav. Ek samaan shuruat.)
EXT. OPEN MAIDAN / TEMP STAGE – LATE AFTERNOON
(Bamboo se bana temporary manch. Aadi blocking
sikhata hai. Mask, dupatte, dhol, manjire. Bachchon ko roles milte hain —
Holika, Prahlad, Narasimha, aur "Gaon".)
AADI
"Prahlad sirf ek baccha nahin — wo sawaal hai. Holika sirf buri maasi
nahin — wo nizam hai. ‘Gaon’… hum sab hai."

(basti se, Prahlad)
"Agar Holika jalti hai toh hum darenge nahi?"

raho."
SUHANI
(sambhalte hue)
"Woh natak bacchon ka sapna hai. Teacher hoon… sapne bachane padte
hain."
MAA
(halke gusse, par pyaar se)
"Sapno se pehle ghar sambhalta hai, beti. Vikram ka rishta aa raha hai.
Soch samajh kar bolo."
(Suhani chup. Khidki se dur maidan dikh raha — dhoop mein mask sukh rahe.)
EXT. PANCHAYAT CHOWK – DAY
(THAKUR PRATAP aur panch logon ke beech
shikayatein. Do–teen gaon wale chilchila rahe.)

(narm, aankhon mein dard aur junoon)
"Hum roz rukte aaye hain, madam ji. Iss baar… rang khud chal ke
aayega."

naach ki rehearse.

dha.

ek prop girta.

(Montage end pe sab ki hansi — ek sahi duniya ka glimpse.)
EXT. BAZAAR GALI – AFTERNOON
(Aadi color aur kapde kharid raha. Do goonde
type aadmi VIKRAM ke chamche, saamne aa kar aawaz maarte.)
GOON
#1
"Natak band karo. Saheb ko pasand nahi."
AADI
(seedha, dara nahi)
"Rang ko band karne ka darwaza kahan banta hai?"
(Poster phad diya jata hai. Aadi poster ka tuta tukda jeb me daal kar chal padta — aankhon me dard, pair me zid.)
INT. CLASSROOM – DAY
(Bachche Holika–Dahan ka scene padh rahe.
Suhani ne ek page pe “Sab
rang = ek” likh rakha hai.)
STUDENT
(upar wale mohalle se)
"Madam, hum unke saath stage share karenge toh ghar wale daantenge."
SUHANI
(aankhon me thodi nami)
"Jo darr sach ko todta hai, usey homework samjho… aur kal class me
laana."

deti: “Lok Rangmanch ke Roop.”)
SUHANI
"Ye props aur masks ke design. Bina paison ke bhi ho jayega."
AADI
(halka hairaan, dil se)
"Aap mujhe girne se pehle haath pakad leti ho."
SUHANI
(muskaan, par fikr ke saath)
"Main sirf itna chahti hoon… tum girkar toot na jao."
(Unke pairon ke paas paani me safed gulal ka chhota sa dhaar — suraj ki laali me woh bhi laal jaisa lagne lagta.)
INT. THEATRE HUT – NIGHT
(Group props banata — newspaper, bamboo,
purani saari, mitti ke rang. AAGAR ke dhoop, lamp ki peeli roshni. Aadi ek Narasimha ka face-mask
تراशta.)

"Aadi, kal panchayat walo ne poocha — permission."
AADI
(mask se nazar nahi hatata)
"Rang ijazat se nahi phailta."
(Moment of quiet resolve.)
EXT. PANCHAYAT CHOWK – NIGHT
(Baithak garam. THAKUR PRATAP ke saath VIKRAM
bhi aaya. Masterji chhup sa. Gram–sewak notice padhta.)
GRAM-SEWAK
"Gaon ke beech naatak aur rang–sabha par rok. Ullanghan par karvayi."

"Shaadi ke baad school door. Aur wo… gandi gali ka natak, band."

"Rang pe daag mat lagao, bhagwan."
EXT. MAIDAN – DAY
(Rehearsal. Aadi kids ko Holika–Dahan ki

nahi).)
AADI
"Yahan aag se pehle geet aayega. ‘Galiyon me aaj rang khila…’ (halki
taal)"
(Policemen aur gaon ke do teen aadmi,
Panchayat ke beje, aa jaate.)
CONSTABLE

(saaf)
"Gaon ke beech awaaz uthana gunaah kab se hua?"
MAN
FROM CROWD

(Bachche ghabra ke peechhe hat jaate. Aadi sabko haath se shaant karta.)
EXT. THEATRE HUT / PROP SHED – NIGHT (ONE
WEEK BEFORE HOLI)

ki lau. Koi shadow petrol chhidakta. PHUSSH!
Aag bhadakti. Bamboo, mask, dupatte—sab jal
uthte.)
BACHI
(door se cheekhte)
"Bh.. Bhaiya! Aag lag gayi!"
(Aadi daudta hai. Log balti se paani phenkte. SFX: crackle. Narasimha mask aadha
jalta, aadha bachta. Aadi usse haathon me daboch kar dekh raha — aansuon me aag
ka pratibimb.)

"Khattam ho gaya, Aadi."
(Basti me khamoshi. Raat lambe ho jaati.)
EXT. BASTI GULLY – LATE NIGHT

INT. THEATRE HUT (BURNT) – LATER THAT NIGHT

raakh. Aadi beech me baith jata — do ghutne seene se lagakar. Sab log aas paas,
be-sahara.)
TROUPER
(himmat tootte hue)
"Humein maafi maang leni chahiye, beta. Natak band."
BACHI

"Humne kya galat kiya, bhaiya?"
AADI
(aawaz behad dheemi, toota hua)
"Shayad… humne sapna bada dekh liya."
(SUHAni darwaze pe. Aankhon me aansu. Wo kuch kehna chahti, par alfaaz nahi nikalte.)
EXT. RIVER GHAT – PRE-DAWN
(Aadi akela. Paani syaah. Haath me aadha jala Narasimha mask. Subah ki
pehli roshni.)
(SOUND DESIGN: Door se Guruji ki dhol ki yaad aati aahat. Halki VO me Guruji ki awaaz, dhundhli — flashback ka darwaza khulta.)
FLASHBACK: EXT. MELAA GROUND – EVENING (YEARS
AGO)
(Chhota AADI bheed me gum. GURUJI (60s),
aankhon me pyaar, usko apni troupe me khinch lete.)
GURUJI
(muskurahat ke sath)
"Tu awaaz hai, beta. Gali nahi."
(Chhote Aadi ko pehli baar safed gulal se chehra

"Sun— ijazat mat maangna kabhi.
Aasman ko rangne ki
ijazat kisi se nahi milti."
(Guruji ki ungliyan dheere dheere dhili padti. Aadi ka chehra bheegta — barish ya aansu, farq mushkil.)
BACK TO PRESENT: EXT. RIVER GHAT – DAWN
(Aadi aankhen kholta. Usha ki halka–halka
roop. Haath me aadha jala mask — par peechhe se safed gulal ki dhool hawa
me ude jaise kisi ne chhidi ho. Koi nahi — bas yaad.)
(Uska chehra sthir. Par abhi bhi toot–sa. Wo
mask ko seene se lagata, aankh band karta. Act 2 ka antilamha: thaka
hua hausla, par kahin andar ek bijli si rekha.)
AADI
(andar hi andar, fasa hua saans)
"Guruji… main thak gaya hoon."
(Do lamhe ki gehri khamoshi. Door mandir ki
ghanti ki aahat. Screen par Holi
ke ek hafte pehle ki ghadi chalti – tik tik.)
CUT TO BLACK.

ACT 3 – RESOLUTION (95–120 min)
EXT. VILLAGE SQUARE – DAWN (HOLI MORNING)
(Suraj abhi nikal raha. Upper-caste gali mein
rang ki thaal saj rahi. Doosri taraf Dalit basti chup-chaap. Lekin ek alag
awaaz phailti hai — dhol, manjira, bachchon
ki cheekh-pukaar.)
(Camera handheld — villagers khidki khol kar
dekhte. AADI aur bachche beech ke chowk me aa gaye hain. Jal gaya mask bhi saaf
karke pehna gaya hai. Bamboo se phata manch joda gaya — bekaar cheezon se
bana.)
VILLAGER
(hairan)
"Yeh log… bina ijazat ke?"
AADI
(unchi awaaz me, josh se)
"Aaj ijazat aasman ne di hai!"
(Bachche chorus me cheekhte — “Rangbhoomi shuru hoti hai!”)
EXT. SQUARE STAGE – MORNING
(Natak chalu hota hai. Bachche Prahlad aur
Holika ka scene karte hain. Public door se ruki hui, magar dekh rahi. Dhol ke
sur tez.)
PRAHLAD
(baccha, chillakar)
"Main sach ke rang se rangaa hoon, mujhe koi jala nahi sakta!"
(Holika jalne ka tableau — rangon ki dhool
hawa me phailti hai, asli aag nahi. Bachche safed gulal udaate hain.)
(Log chup ho jaate hain. Saans rok kar dekhte hain.)

(Thakur Pratap aata hai, gussa mein.)
THAKUR
PRATAP (cheekhte)
"Band karo yeh! Yeh gaon tod dega!"
(AADI ruk kar public ki taraf dekh kar, fourth wall todta hai.
Seedha camera / sabhi se baat.)
AADI
(dheere, saaf)
"Aapne humare liye Holi sirf dekhne ki banayi…
Lekin hum rang ban gaye, saab. Ab kis kis ko rokenge?"
(Silence. Aadi ek thaal uthata hai — gulal ka.
Pehle Suhani ke pitaji (Masterji) ko deta hai, fir ek safai kaamgar ko. Dono
haath aage karte hain, ek pal ke liye hesitation. Par gulal mil jaata hai dono
haathon par.)
AADI
(continuing)
"Rang ke aage sab ek jaise dikhtay hain… sirf aankhon ka kohl alag hota
hai."
(Camera close-ups — dono chehre gulal se dhak jaate hain, pehchaan mit jaati hai.)
EXT. SQUARE – BUILDING STORM
(Public dheere-dheere aage badhne lagti hai.
Ek maa apne bachche ko rang lagati hai. Ek pandit aur ek chamar ek dusre par gulal
phenk dete hain. Sur chadh jaata hai. Dhol aur tez bajta hai.)
CHILDREN
(chorus, cheekhte hue)
"Rangbhoomi! Rangbhoomi!"
(Suhani bhi bheed tod ke aati hai. Uske haath
me abhi bhi anguthi hai. Bheech me ruk kar — anguthi nikal ke mitti pe fek deti
hai. Aadi ki taraf chalti hai. Uske chehre par gulal lagati hai.)
SUHANI
(dil se)
"Shaadi se pehle mujhe rang pehchanna tha… aur main pehchaan gayi."
(Aadi ke aankhon me aansu, lekin smile bhi. Uske chehre par pehli baar asli rang chadhte hain.)
EXT. VILLAGE WIDE – LATE MORNING
(Holi ab full josh me. Camera montage:
·
Women apne pallu ke rang uda rahi hain.
·
Upper aur lower caste ke log ek hi thaal se
gulal utha rahe.
·
Basti ke bachche aur Thakur ke bachche ek hi
dhol pe naach rahe.)
(Camera upar se crane shot — pura gaon ab
rangon ka samundar. Handheld
close-ups: logon ke chehre gulal me smeared, sab ek jaise.)
(SFX: Dhol, manjira, logon ki cheekh-pukaar. Background folk song shuru hota hai — raw, bina instruments ke, sirf awaaz aur taal.)
EXT. STAGE CENTRE – CLIMAX
(Aadi aur uska group natak ka antim tableau
banata hai. Sab ek dusre ke haath pakad kar circle banate hain. Beech me rang
ka bada cloud uda kar hawa me chhod dete hain. Screen gulabi–neeli–hari–peeli
rang se bhar jaati hai.)
AADI
(last line, zor se, bheed ke upar)
"Yeh Holi hamari hai. Rang sabke hain!"
(Camera slow motion — Suhani daud kar Aadi ke paas, unke beech rangon ka tufaan. Public ke cheekh aur dhol ke sur climax pe pahunchte hain.)
EXT. VILLAGE SKY – AFTERNOON
(Camera upar tilt hota hai — aasman me rang ki
dhool ud rahi, suraj ke saamne gulabi haze. Rang literally “aasman ko rang raha
hai.” Guruji ki awaaz ek baar fir echo hoti hai.)
GURUJI
(VO, yaad se)
"Ijazat mat maangna, beta. Aasman rangne ki ijazat nahi deta — khud rang
le leta hai."
(Screen dhire-dhire white gulal se fade hoti hai.)
FADE OUT.
TEXT
ON SCREEN:
"Jab rang ek ho jaate hain, toh sirf
insaan bachta hai."

apne anjaam par ek aisa sawal chhod jaati hai jo Holi ke rangon se bhi gehra
hai — kya humne apne tyohaar apne dil ko
kholne ke liye banaye the, ya band karne ke liye?
Aadi ka natak sirf ek performance nahi tha — woh
ek juta hua sapna tha, jisme rang
insaan ki pehchaan se bada ho gaya. Jab safed gulal ne gaon ke sab logon ko ek
saath rang diya, toh ye saabit ho gaya ki parampara
ko todna nahi, naya rang dena zaroori hai.
Suhani ka apna rishta todkar rangbhoomi me
shaamil hona aur gaon walon ka ek–ek karke bheed tod kar rangon me ghulna
dikhata hai ki badlaav hamesha ek kadam se shuru hota hai.
Film ke aakhri pal me jab aasman gulabi dhundh
se bhar jaata hai, toh Rangbhoomi keh
jaati hai:
“Jab rang ek ho jaate hain, toh sirf insaan bachta hai.”
