Update 32
arjun – coffee kiosk ke paas nikhat ke sath khada.
nikhat kuch bol rahi hoti hai, lekin arjun ki nazar ek baar ammu par padti hai jo unhe dekh kar awkwardly dusri taraf chal padti hai.
arjun ka chehra soft ho jaata hai, uski aankhon me thoda guilt bhi aur thoda sa confidence — jaise plan ka pehla step kaam kar gaya ho.
LUXURY MALL – CAFÉ AREA – EVENING
(glass walls se afternoon light andar aa rahi hoti hai, sab log ek lambi table par baithe hote hain — coffees, mocktails, aur half-eaten pastries ke plates idhar-udhar. background me mellow jazz track baj raha hota hai.)
arjun, nikhat ke bilkul paas baitha hota hai, dono ki chairs ek dusre se lag bhag touch ho rahi hoti hai. nikhat relaxed aur happy mood mein hoti hai — wo asad aur zaheer se formally mil chuki hoti hai, but focus uska ab sirf arjun par hai.
arjun (half smile ke saath):
waise, nikhat... tumhe pata bhi hai, jab tum muskurati ho na... to mujhe physics yaad aati hai.
nikhat (halki hansi mein):
matlab?
arjun (dramatic whisper):
kyunki tumhara smile directly impact daalta hai mere equilibrium pe.
nikhat (laughing aur halki si sharam ke saath):
are arjun tum bhi kya bas
shanu, do seat chhod kar baithi hoti hai, asma ke saath. wo arjun ki harkat dekhte hi taz ke kaan ke paas jhukti hai.
shanu (whisper mein):
aag laga raha hai... par main chingari dekh rahi hoon ammu ke aankhon mein.
taz (andar ki hansi chhupate hue):
dekh na... next level drama hone wala hai.
cut to — asad
asad ka chehra clearly tight ho chuka hota hai. uski aankhen arjun aur nikhat ke casual touch par tikti hain kabhi arjun ka haath coffee cup pass karte waqt lightly nikhat ke haath ko chhoo jata hai, to kabhi dono ek hi screen pe memes dekhte hain, heads close.
asad (half biting his straw):
(andar hi andar) kaafi familiar ho gaye lagta hai dono…
cut to — ammu
ammu formally cool dikh rahi hoti hai, lekin andar se baar-baar unka chehra tighten hota ja raha hota hai. har baar jab nikhat hasti hai, uska haath arjun ke shoulder ke paas jata hai ammu ka expression ek second ke liye change hota hai, fir wo uss taraf dekhna band kar deti hai.
cut to — zaheer
zaheer pura waqt shanu ko nazar chhupake observe karta rehta hai kabhi uske earrings, kabhi uski hansi. wo kuch bolta nahi, lekin shanu feel kar leti hai.
lekin shanu ek baar bhi zaheer ki taraf nahi dekhti — wo pretend karti hai ki wo fully into her pastry hai.
shanu (andar hi andar):
dekh raha hai... lekin tu bolna kab seekhega?
cut to — ammu
finally ammu ka patience khatam ho jata hai. wo softly lekin annoyed tone me bolti hai:
ammu (casually uthti hai):
mujhe thoda sir dard ho raha hai... chalo ghar chalte hain?
sab log uski taraf dekhte hain. ek awkward silence.
shanu jhat se uska haath pakad leti hai aur usse wapas bitha leti hai:
shanu (fake sweet tone mein):
oye madam! 5000 kharch hue hain is trip mein... tabiyat kal kharab kar lena, aaj ka paisa vasool hone de.
ammu (thoda shock + helpless look)
shanu (taz ko dekhti hai):
oye doctor sahab... ja, leke aa medical se sir dard ki ek powerful wali goli.
taz (uthte hue, smirk ke saath):
total 10,000 ho gaye... tum log ka baap tumhe maar ke half down payment recover karega.
shanu (without looking):
lekin tumhara kya karega?
taz (smirks aur walk karte hue):
mujhe... adopt kar lega.
CUT TO – AMMU
ammu, asad ki taraf dekh kar ek forced smile deti hai.
fir jaise hi asad usse kuch poochta hai, wo kaan nahi lagati... balki door se arjun aur nikhat ki laughter pe uski aankhen chali jaati hain.
camera slowly zoom out karta hai – table ka upar se aerial shot:
har character apne emotion mein hai — jealousy, confusion, pretend, real smiles, silent love... and somewhere deep — unspoken war.
INT. MALL – GROUND FLOOR – DAY
(Shopping, selfies, aur ghumti thakaan ke baad sab log ek open lounge zone me relax kar rahe hote hain — piche fountain ki halki gurgurahat, saamne escalator pe log chadh utar rahe hote hain.)
taz apna bag uthata hai, ek lambe thake hue sigh ke saath loudly bolta hai
taz (dramatic tone mein):
abey batao ab kya? poora mall ghoom liya, ek chewing gum tak nahi kharidi tum logon ne... ab?
shanu apna coke sip karti hai, aankh chhoti kar ke taz ko dekhti hai aur casually bolti hai:
shanu (slow smirk ke saath):
picture...
picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.
(halki si filmy whistle bhi maar deti hai)
asad, jo piche juice le raha hota hai, shanu ke dialogue par muskurata hai aur ek appreciation-filled nazar us par daalta hai:
asad (andar hi andar):
not bad... shanu thoda filmy hai, lekin smart bhi.
sab log thoda sa fresh ho jaate hain — mood upbeat ho jaata hai.
asma aur ammu excitedly ek doosre ko dekh kar smile karti hain.
tabhi nikhat casually peechhe hat jaati hai aur bolti hai:
nikhat (polite tone mein):
acha chalo, main nikalti hoon. tum log movie enjoy karo. mujhe kuch kaam bhi hai...
shanu (turant, smiling but with firmness):
no way ma’am! aapne shopping nahi ki, food court mein kuch nahi khaya... now you have to join the movie at least.
nikhat (laughing lightly):
lekin ticket?
tabhi arjun aage badhta hai, ek hero-style lean ke saath uska haath pakadta hai
aur playfully bolta hai:
arjun (teasing tone):
main lunga na... tumhare liye baby.
sab log hawww karne ke mood mein hote hain — asma literally "hawww" bolti hai.
nikhat thoda awkwardly blush karti hai, lekin rokti nahi.
ammu us moment pe visibly stiff ho jaati hai.uska chehra neutral rehne ki koshish karta hai, lekin aankhon mein clearly jealousy dikh rahi hoti hai. asad, uska reaction dekh ke sirf apne aap mein softly kehta hai:
asad (andar hi andar, wry smile ke saath):
well played, Arjun… well played.
sab log PVR ke taraf chalte hain — ek single file mein.
arjun aur nikhat sabse aage — arjun kabhi kabhi apna haath nikhat ke peeth ke piche rakhta hai casually, kabhi uske kaan me kuch bolta hai aur uska reaction dekh kar khud hansi rokh leta hai.
ammu, peechhe chalte chalte kabhi arjun ko dekhti hai, kabhi zameen ko.
shanu silently uska reaction notice kar rahi hoti hai, lekin kuch nahi bolti.
piche taz, popcorn aur cola ke combo ke liye struggle kar raha hota hai:
zaheer, thoda silent, magar aaj unusually observant mood mein hota hai.
uski nazar kabhi shanu par tikti hai, kabhi ammu par...
CUT TO – INT. PVR CINEMA ENTRANCE
ticket scan hoti hai. ek ek kar ke sab log enter karte hain.
darwaza band hota hai. andhar andhera... screen pe trailers shuru.
INT. CINEMA HALL – NIGHT – MOVIE ON SCREEN
Movie shuru ho chuki hoti hai. Screen par ek slow romantic track chal raha hota hai — jaise koi hill station scene, do characters barish mein, piano background score...
Seating Order:
[asma] – [zaheer] – [shanu] – [taz] – [nikhat] – [arjun] – [ammu] – [asad]
CLOSE ON: SEATS
Sab log apni-apni seat par settle ho chuke hain.
Theater mein light kam hai, sirf screen ki roshni sab ke chehre ko halki blue-white glow mein rang rahi hai.
Asad, who’s sitting right next to Ammu, halka sa lean karta hai uski taraf.
Woh softly kuch kehne ki koshish karta hai, par Ammu ka dhyaan kahin aur hai.
CUT TO: Arjun, jo casually ek armrest share kar raha hai Nikhat ke saath.
Nikhat halka lean karti hai arjun ke taraf. Uske haath ki fingers dheere se Arjun ki thighs par brush karne lagti hain.
Arjun, ek second ke liye stiff hota hai — lekin fir uski nazar Ammu par padti hai, jo clearly un dono ko notice kar rahi hoti hai.
Ammu ka chehra neutral hota hai, lekin aankhon mein ek clear jhalak — hurt aur jealousy — dono ka hota hai.
Arjun ussi moment Nikhat ke pair par apna haath casually rakh deta hai — jaise keh raha ho: dekha? ab tum dekho.
Ammu, bina kuch bole, screen ki taraf dekhti hai — lekin andar andar ek teekha jhatka mehsoos karti hai.
Taz, jo Nikhat ke baaju mein hota hai, popcorn ka dabba hold karta hai aur aadhi awaaz mein bolta hai:
taz (whispering, mocking tone):
arey bhai... itna romance to screen pe bhi nahi chal raha jitna seat no. F4 aur F5 pe chal raha hai...
Nikhat ek warning look deti hai taz ko.
Taz halka sa piche ho jata hai, fir apne aap se bolta hai:
taz (to himself):
yeh log to silent film bana denge chhup chhup ke...
CUT TO: Zaheer & Shanu
Ek common armrest pe dono ka elbow space war chalu hota hai...
Lekin iss baar zaheer bina kuch kahe apna elbow rakh deta hai seat pe
Shanu, bina uski taraf dekhe, apna elbow uske elbow pe softly rest kar deti hai.
Ek subtle sa touch... ek soft sa connection...
Zaheer ki nazar shanu ki profile par tik jaati hai.
zaheer (soft smile ke saath, dil mein):
kuch to hai jo keh nahi pa raha hoon...
Shanu, bina uski taraf dekhe, bas ek halki si muskuraahat deti hai — jaise keh rahi ho: mujhe sab maloom hai.
Asma, sabse last seat pe, kabhi screen dekhti hai, kabhi sabki pairing — aur fir auron ko dekh kar blush karti hai apne aap.
Movie mein ek line aati hai screen pe:
“kuch rishton ki baat aankhon se hoti hai, zubaan se nahi…”
Usi moment Ammu ki nazar Arjun se takraati hai.
Wo ab bhi casually nikhat ke saath lean hai, lekin uski aankhon mein ek glimpse hai — jaise wo keh raha ho:
arjun (andar hi andar):
dekh rahi ho na? main kya kar raha hoon...
Ammu, slowly ek long blink karti hai — jaise wo keh rahi ho: tumse hurt hoon… par main weak nahi hoon.
INT. CINEMA HALL – NIGHT – MOVIE ONGOING
screen pe ab ek intense romantic moment chal raha hota hai. theater mein andhera aur deepen ho gaya hota hai, sirf screen se aati light sabke chehre pe kabhi kabhi jagmagati hai.
CUT TO: arjun & nikhat
nikhat ka head arjun ke shoulder par tik gaya hota hai. dono ke beech ki distance ab almost vanish ho chuki hoti hai. arjun ki aankhon mein screen nahi, balki us moment ka thrill hota hai.
nikhat ke haath dheere se arjun ke wrist se slide karte hue uski jeans ke waistband tak jaate hain.
ek second ke liye arjun ka body stiff ho jaata hai.
uske hothe thode purs hote hain — he swallows dry.
nikhat ke nails halka sa graze karte hain uske stomach ke edge ko, shirt ke neeche se.
nikhat slowly buttons ki taraf badhti hai…
but suddenly —
screen se ek loud explosion sound hota hai, sab jhatka kha kar halki reaction dete hain —
nikhat apne action se halt kar jaati hai.
arjun quietly exhale karta hai. wo apna haath subtly uske haath pe rakh kar uske action ko slow down karta hai, jaise keh raha ho: "not here... not now."
nikhat ek flirtatious smirk karti hai, apne nails uske haath ke upar softly chala deti hai —
jaise keh rahi ho: “okay… baad mein sahi.”
CUT TO: ammu & asad
ammuu aur asad ab bhi side by side baithe hote hain. asad kuch kehna chahta hai lekin ammu ab movie mein focus dikhane ki koshish kar rahi hoti hai.
lekin jab asad halka sa move karta hai, ammuu uski taraf look karti hai aur softly smile karti hai — lekin uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si distance hoti hai.
nafrat nahi, bas... distraction.
screen par ek intense dialogue:
“kabhi kabhi woh cheez chahiye hoti hai, jo hum khud bhi samajh nahi paate…”
INT. PVR CINEMA HALL – INTERVAL – NIGHT
screen pe "INTERVAL" flash hota hai. thodi roshni badhti hai. kuch log uth jaate hain popcorn aur drinks lene. sab ke chehre pe thoda relaxed sa expression — lekin group ke kuch members ke andar kuch aur hi chal raha hota hai.
CUT TO: arjun & nikhat (corner couple seat)
nikhat ab bhi arjun ke shoulder se chipki hoti hai. uska lipstick halka smudge ho gaya hota hai, wo apne thumb se cheek saaf karte hue arjun ki taraf dekhti hai.
nikhat (soft tone mein, teasing):
“tumhare jaise ladke college ke time mil jaate... toh coaching ki zarurat hi nahi padti.”
arjun aankhon se smile karta hai. uska haath dheere se nikhat ke lower back ko lightly touch karta hai — almost invisible move, lekin nikhat ke chehre pe halki si sensuous stir aa jaati hai.
arjun (whispering):
[i]“tum jaise ladkiyaan toh syllabus ke baahar hoti hain, unhe padhne se pehle feel karna padta hai.”[/i]
[i]nikhat halka sa jhukti hai uske kaan ke paas, uski breath arjun ke neck ko brush karti hai —
[/i]
“feel toh ho raha hai, sir…”
arjun ka haath ab uske hip ke curve tak slip kar chuka hota hai — sirf ek second ke liye — bas itna ki wo bhi samajh jaye aur samne wala bhi.
CUT TO: ammu & asad
ammuu thoda lean karke screen ki taraf dekhti hai, lekin uski aankhen baar-baar us side glance kar jaati hain jaha arjun aur nikhat baithhe hain. woh kuch nahi bolti, par har baar unka halka laughter ya closeness dekh kar uska expression heavy sa ho jaata hai
asad uska profile note karta hai.
asad (low voice mein):
“tum thak gayi ho kya? agar chaho toh baahar chalke fresh hawa le lein?”
ammu (jaldi se):
“nahi. thik hoon. movie interesting hai.”
asad samajh jaata hai, lekin zyada press nahi karta.
CUT TO: taz – seat ke edge pe akela popcorn leke baitha
taz popcorn ka dabba apne haath mein rotate karte hue bolta hai:
taz (self-talk):
“sabko date mil gayi... main hoon yaha popcorn ke sath. waise popcorn ne bhi kabhi complain nahi ki.”
wo zaheer aur shanu ko dekh kar sigh karta hai — dono ek hi popcorn tub share kar rahe hote hain.
CUT TO: zaheer & shanu (middle row)
zaheer ka elbow armrest par hota hai. next to him, shanu ka haath bhi same jagah rest karta hai.
beech mein thoda sa awkward friction hota hai. dono thoda peeche hat-te hain — fir ek beat ke baad, shanu casually apna elbow uske elbow ke upar rakh deti hai — bina uski taraf dekhe.
Zaheer us moment ko feel karta hai, uski aankhon mein ek softness aa jaati hai.
ek gentle glance shanu ki taraf jaata hai, lekin shanu ab bhi screen ki taraf dekh rahi hoti hai —
sirf thoda sa smile uske lips par hota hai.
CUT TO: INTERVAL COUNTER AREA – LIGHTS ON
nikhat uth kar arjun ke saath bahar jaati hai, arjun uska haath pakad ke crowd se nikaalta hai.
door se ammu ye scene dekhti hai — aur andar kuch jalta hai.
wo quickly face turn karti hai, par asad note kar leta hai.
asad ammu ki taraf lean karta hai:
asad:
“kya dekh rahi thi?”
ammu (casual banate hue):
“kuch nahi. light on ho gayi.”
CUT TO: CINEMA CORRIDOR – arjun & nikhat
nikhat drinks le rahi hoti hai, aur arjun uske baal ke andar ek strand ko straight karta hai —
arjun:
“mujhe toh lagta tha tum sirf strict wali ho…”
nikhat:
“aur tum sirf oversmart… dono hi galat nikle.”
“toh agla interval bedroom mein plan karein?
Arjun (laughing):
“shhh... kamre ki baat cinema mein?”
INT. PVR CINEMA HALL – POST-INTERVAL – NIGHT
lights dim ho chuki hain. screen pe movie phir se start ho gayi hai. soft background score, koi emotional-romantic scene chal raha hota hai.
sab apni seats pe wapas aa chuke hain — lekin ab kuch badla-badla hai
arjun aur nikhat apni seat par wapas aate hain. arjun aage badhkar seat adjust karta hai. nikhat uske bilkul nazdeek baithti hai — shoulder se shoulder touch mein hota hai.
ek slow beat mein, nikhat apne haath se arjun ki thigh lightly tap karti hai, jaise kuch kehne se pehle permission le rahi ho.
arjun uski taraf dheere se dekh kar subtly smile karta hai.
CUT TO: ammu & asad (few seats away)
ammu ne movie ki taraf muh kiya hota hai, par aankhon ka corner arjun aur nikhat ko dekh raha hota hai
ek second ke liye nikhat ka arjun ke shoulder par halka sa lean karna uski aankhon ke samne hota hai.
asad uski aankhon ka direction pakad leta hai.
asad (softly, irony ke sath):
“movie achhi chal rahi hai ya side ki story zyada interesting lag rahi hai?”
ammu uski taraf dekhkar halki si fake smile karti hai:
ammu:
“main bas dekh rahi thi… yeh scene pehle dekha hua lag raha hai.”
asad samajh jaata hai, par kuch nahi bolta.
CUT TO: zaheer & shanu (back row)
movie ke ek emotional scene me slow violin baj raha hota hai.
zaheer thoda lean karta hai, accidentally shanu ke close ho jaata hai.
shanu uski taraf dekhti hai, dono ki nazar milti hai zaheer seedha screen ki taraf dekhne lagta hai, jaise kuch hua hi nahi.
[i]shanu ki aankhon me ek light teasing si muskurahat hoti hai.[/i]
[i]CUT TO: arjun & nikhat
[/i]
nikhat apna head thoda aur arjun ki taraf jhuka deti hai. movie ka ek soft scene chal raha hota hai — hero aur heroine rain me bheeg rahe hote hain.
nikhat (soft whisper):
“tumhare sath baarish me bheegna kaafi cinematic hoga, hmm?”
arjun bas uske kaan ke paas lean karta hai:
arjun:
“baarish me bheegna nahi... bheegana bhi aata hai.”
nikhat uska haath pakad ke tight karti hai —
aur uski ungliyaan arjun ke shirt ke button ke upar gently glide kar jaati hain.
CUT TO: ammu, jo ab clearly un dono ko observe kar rahi hoti hai, par apni eyes control karne ki puri koshish karti hai.
lekin ek moment mein jab nikhat apne bal thoda adjust karti hai aur arjun unhe tuck karta hai, tab ammu finally aankhen hata leti hai.
asad firse note karta hai.
asad ke expression mein now irritation mix hone lagta hai.
movie ka ek dialogue chal raha hota hai:
yeh line sunkar ammu ka face stiff ho jaata hai, aur wo slowly apni aankhon se arjun ko dekhti hai, jise us waqt kuch feel nahi hota kyunki…
Arjun ab full focus nikhat pe lagata hai.
nikhat (half-whisper):
“tumhare paas perfume kam hai... ya meri nazdeekiyan zyada ho gayi hain?
Arjun uske ear ke paas smile karta hai:
arjun:
“khushbu mehsoos hone lagi hai... matlab impact ho raha hai.”
nikhat ki fingers ab arjun ke belt line ke just upar graze kar jaati hain — very slowly, jaise border test kar rahi ho.
arjun uska haath lightly hold karta hai — gentle but firm.
nikhat ka head ab arjun ke shoulder pe rest karta hai.
END SCENE with camera slow pull-out of all couples:
asad – ammu ko side glance de raha hai, uska patience kam ho raha hai.
ammu – fake calm, andar kuch jal raha hai.
arjun-nikhat – oblivious to sab kuch, khud ki duniya mein.
Shanu-zaheer – slow bonding, touch without tension.
taz – uske popcorn se loyal.
[i]asma – sab dhyaan film mein[/i]
arjun – coffee kiosk ke paas nikhat ke sath khada.
nikhat kuch bol rahi hoti hai, lekin arjun ki nazar ek baar ammu par padti hai jo unhe dekh kar awkwardly dusri taraf chal padti hai.
arjun ka chehra soft ho jaata hai, uski aankhon me thoda guilt bhi aur thoda sa confidence — jaise plan ka pehla step kaam kar gaya ho.
LUXURY MALL – CAFÉ AREA – EVENING
(glass walls se afternoon light andar aa rahi hoti hai, sab log ek lambi table par baithe hote hain — coffees, mocktails, aur half-eaten pastries ke plates idhar-udhar. background me mellow jazz track baj raha hota hai.)
arjun, nikhat ke bilkul paas baitha hota hai, dono ki chairs ek dusre se lag bhag touch ho rahi hoti hai. nikhat relaxed aur happy mood mein hoti hai — wo asad aur zaheer se formally mil chuki hoti hai, but focus uska ab sirf arjun par hai.
arjun (half smile ke saath):
waise, nikhat... tumhe pata bhi hai, jab tum muskurati ho na... to mujhe physics yaad aati hai.
nikhat (halki hansi mein):
matlab?
arjun (dramatic whisper):
kyunki tumhara smile directly impact daalta hai mere equilibrium pe.
nikhat (laughing aur halki si sharam ke saath):
are arjun tum bhi kya bas
shanu, do seat chhod kar baithi hoti hai, asma ke saath. wo arjun ki harkat dekhte hi taz ke kaan ke paas jhukti hai.
shanu (whisper mein):
aag laga raha hai... par main chingari dekh rahi hoon ammu ke aankhon mein.
taz (andar ki hansi chhupate hue):
dekh na... next level drama hone wala hai.
cut to — asad
asad ka chehra clearly tight ho chuka hota hai. uski aankhen arjun aur nikhat ke casual touch par tikti hain kabhi arjun ka haath coffee cup pass karte waqt lightly nikhat ke haath ko chhoo jata hai, to kabhi dono ek hi screen pe memes dekhte hain, heads close.

sab log uski taraf dekhte hain. ek awkward silence.
shanu jhat se uska haath pakad leti hai aur usse wapas bitha leti hai:
shanu (fake sweet tone mein):
oye madam! 5000 kharch hue hain is trip mein... tabiyat kal kharab kar lena, aaj ka paisa vasool hone de.
ammu (thoda shock + helpless look)
shanu (taz ko dekhti hai):
oye doctor sahab... ja, leke aa medical se sir dard ki ek powerful wali goli.
taz (uthte hue, smirk ke saath):
total 10,000 ho gaye... tum log ka baap tumhe maar ke half down payment recover karega.
shanu (without looking):
lekin tumhara kya karega?
taz (smirks aur walk karte hue):
mujhe... adopt kar lega.
CUT TO – AMMU

taz apna bag uthata hai, ek lambe thake hue sigh ke saath loudly bolta hai
taz (dramatic tone mein):
abey batao ab kya? poora mall ghoom liya, ek chewing gum tak nahi kharidi tum logon ne... ab?
shanu apna coke sip karti hai, aankh chhoti kar ke taz ko dekhti hai aur casually bolti hai:
shanu (slow smirk ke saath):
picture...
picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.
(halki si filmy whistle bhi maar deti hai)
asad, jo piche juice le raha hota hai, shanu ke dialogue par muskurata hai aur ek appreciation-filled nazar us par daalta hai:
asad (andar hi andar):
not bad... shanu thoda filmy hai, lekin smart bhi.
sab log thoda sa fresh ho jaate hain — mood upbeat ho jaata hai.
asma aur ammu excitedly ek doosre ko dekh kar smile karti hain.

ammu, peechhe chalte chalte kabhi arjun ko dekhti hai, kabhi zameen ko.
shanu silently uska reaction notice kar rahi hoti hai, lekin kuch nahi bolti.
piche taz, popcorn aur cola ke combo ke liye struggle kar raha hota hai:
zaheer, thoda silent, magar aaj unusually observant mood mein hota hai.
uski nazar kabhi shanu par tikti hai, kabhi ammu par...
CUT TO – INT. PVR CINEMA ENTRANCE
ticket scan hoti hai. ek ek kar ke sab log enter karte hain.
darwaza band hota hai. andhar andhera... screen pe trailers shuru.
INT. CINEMA HALL – NIGHT – MOVIE ON SCREEN
Movie shuru ho chuki hoti hai. Screen par ek slow romantic track chal raha hota hai — jaise koi hill station scene, do characters barish mein, piano background score...

Taz, jo Nikhat ke baaju mein hota hai, popcorn ka dabba hold karta hai aur aadhi awaaz mein bolta hai:
taz (whispering, mocking tone):
arey bhai... itna romance to screen pe bhi nahi chal raha jitna seat no. F4 aur F5 pe chal raha hai...
Nikhat ek warning look deti hai taz ko.
Taz halka sa piche ho jata hai, fir apne aap se bolta hai:
taz (to himself):
yeh log to silent film bana denge chhup chhup ke...
CUT TO: Zaheer & Shanu
Ek common armrest pe dono ka elbow space war chalu hota hai...
Lekin iss baar zaheer bina kuch kahe apna elbow rakh deta hai seat pe
Shanu, bina uski taraf dekhe, apna elbow uske elbow pe softly rest kar deti hai.
Ek subtle sa touch... ek soft sa connection...
Zaheer ki nazar shanu ki profile par tik jaati hai.
zaheer (soft smile ke saath, dil mein):
kuch to hai jo keh nahi pa raha hoon...
Shanu, bina uski taraf dekhe, bas ek halki si muskuraahat deti hai — jaise keh rahi ho: mujhe sab maloom hai.
Asma, sabse last seat pe, kabhi screen dekhti hai, kabhi sabki pairing — aur fir auron ko dekh kar blush karti hai apne aap.
Movie mein ek line aati hai screen pe:
“kuch rishton ki baat aankhon se hoti hai, zubaan se nahi…”
Usi moment Ammu ki nazar Arjun se takraati hai.
Wo ab bhi casually nikhat ke saath lean hai, lekin uski aankhon mein ek glimpse hai — jaise wo keh raha ho:
arjun (andar hi andar):
dekh rahi ho na? main kya kar raha hoon...
Ammu, slowly ek long blink karti hai — jaise wo keh rahi ho: tumse hurt hoon… par main weak nahi hoon.
INT. CINEMA HALL – NIGHT – MOVIE ONGOING
screen pe ab ek intense romantic moment chal raha hota hai. theater mein andhera aur deepen ho gaya hota hai, sirf screen se aati light sabke chehre pe kabhi kabhi jagmagati hai.
CUT TO: arjun & nikhat
nikhat ka head arjun ke shoulder par tik gaya hota hai. dono ke beech ki distance ab almost vanish ho chuki hoti hai. arjun ki aankhon mein screen nahi, balki us moment ka thrill hota hai.
nikhat ke haath dheere se arjun ke wrist se slide karte hue uski jeans ke waistband tak jaate hain.
ek second ke liye arjun ka body stiff ho jaata hai.
uske hothe thode purs hote hain — he swallows dry.
nikhat ke nails halka sa graze karte hain uske stomach ke edge ko, shirt ke neeche se.
nikhat slowly buttons ki taraf badhti hai…
but suddenly —
screen se ek loud explosion sound hota hai, sab jhatka kha kar halki reaction dete hain —
nikhat apne action se halt kar jaati hai.
arjun quietly exhale karta hai. wo apna haath subtly uske haath pe rakh kar uske action ko slow down karta hai, jaise keh raha ho: "not here... not now."
nikhat ek flirtatious smirk karti hai, apne nails uske haath ke upar softly chala deti hai —
jaise keh rahi ho: “okay… baad mein sahi.”
CUT TO: ammu & asad
ammuu aur asad ab bhi side by side baithe hote hain. asad kuch kehna chahta hai lekin ammu ab movie mein focus dikhane ki koshish kar rahi hoti hai.
lekin jab asad halka sa move karta hai, ammuu uski taraf look karti hai aur softly smile karti hai — lekin uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si distance hoti hai.
nafrat nahi, bas... distraction.
screen par ek intense dialogue:
“kabhi kabhi woh cheez chahiye hoti hai, jo hum khud bhi samajh nahi paate…”
INT. PVR CINEMA HALL – INTERVAL – NIGHT
screen pe "INTERVAL" flash hota hai. thodi roshni badhti hai. kuch log uth jaate hain popcorn aur drinks lene. sab ke chehre pe thoda relaxed sa expression — lekin group ke kuch members ke andar kuch aur hi chal raha hota hai.
CUT TO: arjun & nikhat (corner couple seat)
nikhat ab bhi arjun ke shoulder se chipki hoti hai. uska lipstick halka smudge ho gaya hota hai, wo apne thumb se cheek saaf karte hue arjun ki taraf dekhti hai.
nikhat (soft tone mein, teasing):
“tumhare jaise ladke college ke time mil jaate... toh coaching ki zarurat hi nahi padti.”
arjun aankhon se smile karta hai. uska haath dheere se nikhat ke lower back ko lightly touch karta hai — almost invisible move, lekin nikhat ke chehre pe halki si sensuous stir aa jaati hai.
arjun (whispering):
[i]“tum jaise ladkiyaan toh syllabus ke baahar hoti hain, unhe padhne se pehle feel karna padta hai.”[/i]
[i]nikhat halka sa jhukti hai uske kaan ke paas, uski breath arjun ke neck ko brush karti hai —
[/i]
“feel toh ho raha hai, sir…”
arjun ka haath ab uske hip ke curve tak slip kar chuka hota hai — sirf ek second ke liye — bas itna ki wo bhi samajh jaye aur samne wala bhi.
CUT TO: ammu & asad
ammuu thoda lean karke screen ki taraf dekhti hai, lekin uski aankhen baar-baar us side glance kar jaati hain jaha arjun aur nikhat baithhe hain. woh kuch nahi bolti, par har baar unka halka laughter ya closeness dekh kar uska expression heavy sa ho jaata hai
asad uska profile note karta hai.
asad (low voice mein):
“tum thak gayi ho kya? agar chaho toh baahar chalke fresh hawa le lein?”
ammu (jaldi se):
“nahi. thik hoon. movie interesting hai.”
asad samajh jaata hai, lekin zyada press nahi karta.
CUT TO: taz – seat ke edge pe akela popcorn leke baitha
taz popcorn ka dabba apne haath mein rotate karte hue bolta hai:
taz (self-talk):
“sabko date mil gayi... main hoon yaha popcorn ke sath. waise popcorn ne bhi kabhi complain nahi ki.”
wo zaheer aur shanu ko dekh kar sigh karta hai — dono ek hi popcorn tub share kar rahe hote hain.
CUT TO: zaheer & shanu (middle row)
zaheer ka elbow armrest par hota hai. next to him, shanu ka haath bhi same jagah rest karta hai.
beech mein thoda sa awkward friction hota hai. dono thoda peeche hat-te hain — fir ek beat ke baad, shanu casually apna elbow uske elbow ke upar rakh deti hai — bina uski taraf dekhe.
Zaheer us moment ko feel karta hai, uski aankhon mein ek softness aa jaati hai.
ek gentle glance shanu ki taraf jaata hai, lekin shanu ab bhi screen ki taraf dekh rahi hoti hai —
sirf thoda sa smile uske lips par hota hai.
CUT TO: INTERVAL COUNTER AREA – LIGHTS ON
nikhat uth kar arjun ke saath bahar jaati hai, arjun uska haath pakad ke crowd se nikaalta hai.
door se ammu ye scene dekhti hai — aur andar kuch jalta hai.
wo quickly face turn karti hai, par asad note kar leta hai.
asad ammu ki taraf lean karta hai:
asad:
“kya dekh rahi thi?”
ammu (casual banate hue):
“kuch nahi. light on ho gayi.”
CUT TO: CINEMA CORRIDOR – arjun & nikhat
nikhat drinks le rahi hoti hai, aur arjun uske baal ke andar ek strand ko straight karta hai —
arjun:
“mujhe toh lagta tha tum sirf strict wali ho…”
nikhat:
“aur tum sirf oversmart… dono hi galat nikle.”
“toh agla interval bedroom mein plan karein?
Arjun (laughing):
“shhh... kamre ki baat cinema mein?”
INT. PVR CINEMA HALL – POST-INTERVAL – NIGHT
lights dim ho chuki hain. screen pe movie phir se start ho gayi hai. soft background score, koi emotional-romantic scene chal raha hota hai.
sab apni seats pe wapas aa chuke hain — lekin ab kuch badla-badla hai
arjun aur nikhat apni seat par wapas aate hain. arjun aage badhkar seat adjust karta hai. nikhat uske bilkul nazdeek baithti hai — shoulder se shoulder touch mein hota hai.
ek slow beat mein, nikhat apne haath se arjun ki thigh lightly tap karti hai, jaise kuch kehne se pehle permission le rahi ho.
arjun uski taraf dheere se dekh kar subtly smile karta hai.
CUT TO: ammu & asad (few seats away)
ammu ne movie ki taraf muh kiya hota hai, par aankhon ka corner arjun aur nikhat ko dekh raha hota hai
ek second ke liye nikhat ka arjun ke shoulder par halka sa lean karna uski aankhon ke samne hota hai.
asad uski aankhon ka direction pakad leta hai.
asad (softly, irony ke sath):
“movie achhi chal rahi hai ya side ki story zyada interesting lag rahi hai?”
ammu uski taraf dekhkar halki si fake smile karti hai:
ammu:
“main bas dekh rahi thi… yeh scene pehle dekha hua lag raha hai.”
asad samajh jaata hai, par kuch nahi bolta.
CUT TO: zaheer & shanu (back row)
movie ke ek emotional scene me slow violin baj raha hota hai.
zaheer thoda lean karta hai, accidentally shanu ke close ho jaata hai.
shanu uski taraf dekhti hai, dono ki nazar milti hai zaheer seedha screen ki taraf dekhne lagta hai, jaise kuch hua hi nahi.
[i]shanu ki aankhon me ek light teasing si muskurahat hoti hai.[/i]
[i]CUT TO: arjun & nikhat
[/i]
nikhat apna head thoda aur arjun ki taraf jhuka deti hai. movie ka ek soft scene chal raha hota hai — hero aur heroine rain me bheeg rahe hote hain.
nikhat (soft whisper):
“tumhare sath baarish me bheegna kaafi cinematic hoga, hmm?”
arjun bas uske kaan ke paas lean karta hai:
arjun:
“baarish me bheegna nahi... bheegana bhi aata hai.”
nikhat uska haath pakad ke tight karti hai —
aur uski ungliyaan arjun ke shirt ke button ke upar gently glide kar jaati hain.
CUT TO: ammu, jo ab clearly un dono ko observe kar rahi hoti hai, par apni eyes control karne ki puri koshish karti hai.
lekin ek moment mein jab nikhat apne bal thoda adjust karti hai aur arjun unhe tuck karta hai, tab ammu finally aankhen hata leti hai.
asad firse note karta hai.
asad ke expression mein now irritation mix hone lagta hai.
movie ka ek dialogue chal raha hota hai:
Quote:"agar kisi ko khud se chheen lo, to yaad rakhna… wo kisi aur ka tha hi nahi."
yeh line sunkar ammu ka face stiff ho jaata hai, aur wo slowly apni aankhon se arjun ko dekhti hai, jise us waqt kuch feel nahi hota kyunki…
Arjun ab full focus nikhat pe lagata hai.
nikhat (half-whisper):
“tumhare paas perfume kam hai... ya meri nazdeekiyan zyada ho gayi hain?
Arjun uske ear ke paas smile karta hai:
arjun:
“khushbu mehsoos hone lagi hai... matlab impact ho raha hai.”
nikhat ki fingers ab arjun ke belt line ke just upar graze kar jaati hain — very slowly, jaise border test kar rahi ho.
arjun uska haath lightly hold karta hai — gentle but firm.
nikhat ka head ab arjun ke shoulder pe rest karta hai.
END SCENE with camera slow pull-out of all couples:
asad – ammu ko side glance de raha hai, uska patience kam ho raha hai.
ammu – fake calm, andar kuch jal raha hai.
arjun-nikhat – oblivious to sab kuch, khud ki duniya mein.
Shanu-zaheer – slow bonding, touch without tension.
taz – uske popcorn se loyal.
[i]asma – sab dhyaan film mein[/i]
