🎙 Narration Script – “Deewar”
(Background music: slow cello + faint tabla beats, kabhi silence bhi for impact)
Opening (0–2 min)
“Diwarein sirf ईंटon ki nahi hoti… kuch gharon ki chhup si deewarein awaaz ko rok deti hain.
Ek chhoti si family… ek khamosh aurat… aur ek ghar, jisme muh se zyada aankhein bolti hain.”
Scene – Dinner Table (2–5 min)
“Anjali roz ki tarah khana parosti hai. Plate ke neeche chhupa ek nishaan… ek chot… jo kisi ko dikhai nahi deta.
TV par mahilaa diwas ke jashn ki khabar chalti hai… par uske apne ghar mein uske liye ek pal ki izzat bhi nahi.”
Scene – Neighbour’s Entry (5–8 min)
“Pados ka ek ladka, Aman… jo apni pehchaan ke saath jeeta hai, logon ki nazar mein alag.
Husband ke liye wo sirf mazaak hai… ‘Ghar ki izzat bigaadne wale.’
Par Anjali ke liye wo ek aaina hai… jo dikhata hai ki samajh ke dar se chup rehna, sabse badi qaid hai.”
Violence Montage (8–13 min)
“Ek plate zameen par girti hai… ek zor ki cheekh… aur ek aurat jo fir se chup chaap safai karti hai.
Diwarein sab kuch sunti hain… par awaaz bahar nahi jaane deti.”
Daughter’s Innocence (13–16 min)
“Chhoti Riya ek din pooch baithi – ‘Mumma, teacher kehti hain girls and boys equal hote hain… phir papa hamesha chillate kyun hain?’
Ek sawaal… jo Anjali ke dil ke andar bijli ki tarah girta hai.
Par uske paas jawaab nahi.”
Aman’s Support (16–18 min)
“Aman kehta hai – ‘Didi, maun todna zaroori hai. Hum chup rahenge toh zulm aur badhega.’
Uski awaaz mein apna dard bhi hai… aur himmat bhi.
Samajh usse uski pehchaan ke liye judge karta hai… jaise Anjali ko uske gender ke liye dabata hai.”
Big Confrontation (18–22 min)
“Phir ek din… jab haath fir se uthta hai… toh is baar ek bachi chillati hai – ‘Stop it!’
Aur us cheekh se jo khamoshi tuta… usme ek maa ki himmat janmi.”
Breaking the Wall (22–26 min)
“Agli subah, Anjali madad lene nikalti hai. Pehli baar sir utha kar… pehli baar khud ke liye.
Vikram raste mein rokta hai, par is baar puri basti dekh rahi hai.
Aur ye deewar… jo saalon se usse chup rakhti thi… aaj toot chuki hai.”
Closing (26–30 min)
“Kuch din baad… ek court ke corridor mein Anjali beti ke saath baithi hai. Chehre par darr nahi, ek naya sukoon hai.
Riya apni copy mein sketch banati hai – ek chillaata hua aadmi cross kiya hua, aur ek muskurati maa gol mein.
Deewar toot gayi hai.
Aur ye awaaz sirf auraton ki nahi… insaaniyat ki hai.
Har insaan ko izzat, suraksha aur pyaar milna chahiye – chahe wo aurat ho… ya Aman jaisa ladka.”
(Screen fade to black – text appears: “Break the Silence. End Domestic Violence. Embrace Equality.”)
👉 Ye narration pauses + dialogues ke beech intercut hoke easily 30 min runtime cover karega.
