CHARACTERS:
[SCENE START]
A bustling Indian road. Cars, rickshaws, and motorcycles honk and weave through
traffic.
Three or four young men on motorcycles, the BULLIES, start to surround AYAAN.
They rev their engines, taunting him.
AYAAN, visibly frightened, tries to escape but is blocked by the bullies. The traffic
around them slows down, curious onlookers watch.
A beat of silence.
CUT TO:
The same scene, but from AYAAN's perspective. The world around him starts to
distort, colors become saturated, and the sound of traffic becomes muffled.
AYAAN's eyes glow with an unnatural intensity. His body language changes, he
stands taller, his voice deeper.
Suddenly, the world around AYAAN freezes. The BULLIES are suspended in mid-
air. AYAAN's expression is cold and calculated.
CUT TO:
The world around AYAAN is chaotic, yet he appears calm and in control.
CUT TO:
The world returns to normal. AYAAN is standing over the fallen BULLIES, panting.
His eyes slowly return to normal.
The BULLIES are injured but alive. The onlookers are stunned and terrified.
AYAAN looks around, confused and scared. He doesn't understand what just
happened.
[SCENE END]
NOTE: The transition between AYAAN's reality and his imagined world should be
visually striking. Use slow-motion, distorted visuals, and eerie sound effects to
enhance the surreal atmosphere. The ending should leave the audience
questioning what truly happened.
