Wishing Well !

A rich goldsmith asks his son to look after his shop and business now that he had graduated from his college. Reluctantly the guy obliges to his father and starts looking after his shop. One day soon after his father had left the shop, the guy comes out of the shop and looks around searching for something that piques his interest. He notices an old well, on which there was an old board hanging which said “WISHING WELL”.

The guy notices a lady standing in front of the well with her back facing the well, closing her eyes, she prays something and throws the coin into the well and leaves. As the guy curiously looks at this whole thing another small kid comes to the wishing well. The boy has a school bag and torn out shoes. He takes out a 50 paisa coin and prays “Oh wishing well I want a new shoes, or else they'll not allow me to the school from tomorrow, please send me a pair of shoe soon”. So praying, the kid marches towards his house, this guy just follows the kid till his house leaving his shop to his worker's custody.

That evening the guy goes shopping with his girlfriend to buy a pair of school shoe, his girlfriend asks “ Why are u doing this?”, for which he replies “It’s a wishing well, and am just WISHING HIM WELL” and smiles. 

The next morning the kid opens the front door to find a pair of shoe lying on the doorsteps and the kid jumps with delight. The guy watches all this from a distance and being happy for what he had done, leaves the place.

Watching over the wishing well becomes the guy's favorite past time and after a few days when the kid returns to the wishing well, this guy hides behind the well to hear the wish like a sincere genie. This time the kid prays and says “ Wishing well, all my friends are bursting crackers, I want to burst them too, but mummy papa can’t afford it, so please get me some crackers”.

The guy again happily buys some expensive crackers for which his girlfriend asks “till when will you continue doing this?” for which the guy says “my dad's a rich man and what wish can I not fulfill of a small kid” and places them at the doorstep of the kid's house. After few minutes the kid comes out and  is overjoyed to see his wish coming true again.

For the next few weeks the kid never returns to the wishing well. Curious to know how the kid is doing, he goes to the kid’s place, only to find the house locked. The guy gets sad as making the kids wishes true had become his job now.

Everyday the guy goes near the well and eagerly waits for the kid to come again. One day finally the kid comes to the wishing well, the kid now has brought his whole piggy bank and his school shoe and prays “Wishing well, please take my piggy bank, and your shoes, my mom has gone to meet God, wishing well please bring her back to me and bursts into tears”, seeing this the guy realizes he’s too small, and can't control everything and with a lot of grief runs towards the kid, hugs it and starts crying.

Then the credit rolls out………

Polish

This was the last idea which I had written for the short movies.

A typical middle class Indian family enjoying their early morning coffee reading the morning news paper, the son goes near the kitchen and asks her mom for 100 Rupees, which the father who’s sitting on his easy chair hears and screams at the son, “ Idiot you're 24 now, go get a life, earn your bread”. The son walks out of the house furiously.

He comes out of his house puts his hand to search for some money in his pocket, but finds only a 5 rupee note. As he moves on the road he finds a 100 rupee note lying on the ground. He looks around, and slowly picks it up, and happily moves ahead making his mind to have a sumptuous breakfast.

On his way he sees a small boy of about 10 years polishing shoes of a guy dressed in a suit, when the guy offers money for the polish he keeps in front of him a small piggy bank on which it's written “My school Fees”. He just puts a couple of rupees and goes away.

This guy goes near the kid, takes out that 100 rupee note that he found and puts it into the piggy bank.
He also puts his own 5 rupee into the piggy bank.
The kid asks "sab polish" and looks at his feet.
The guy is just wearing flip flops.
He smiles at the kid, pats his head and moves ahead.

Then the credit rolls out
Where we say
“Good things happen, YOU are just a medium”

1st good thing- The boy getting enough money for his fees
2nd – The guy realizes if a small boy can earn his money by self employment, why can’t he!

Eternal

This is also one of the ideas which I wrote in a light vein.

Scene 1 :

Engineering class room
A guy dressed in funky jeans with pierced ears and a goatee, is sitting in his engineering examination hall.
He slowly opens his shirt's sleeve and picks a chit and copies it into his answer sheet.
Then he takes out a chit from his socks and his collar, he copies that as well to his answer sheet.
He then peeps into other's paper to copy.

After a while the bell rings.

Blind Date

This is a short movie idea which I wrote in a light vein.

In a book store, a guy is reading a magazine, he’s flipping pages and seeing his favorite movie stars.

Right in front of the next rack a beautiful girl is standing. She has a book in her hand but she’s not reading it, but she’s seeing him and smiling.

This guy blushes at first and makes his mind to approach the girl.

He goes near the girl and says, “hey, how about a date” suddenly out of shock she drops the book in her hand.

He gets down to pick the book and he notices that it's actually a Braille book( books read by blinds).

Then he clears his throat, smiles and says, “ how about a blind date??” ;)

Then the credit rolls.

National Flag

This is the third of my short movie ideas.

Characters:
Sooraj: The kid
Sam : The funky young man

Scene:

Sam is driving his car and Eminem’s "Please stand up" is being played in his car with loud volume.
The car stops at a traffic signal.

A boy holding miniature Flag pins comes near the window and knocks it. Sam tells him to go away. The boy repetitively knocks the window. Sam gets annoyed and frustrated but finally he takes a five rupee note out of his wallet lowers the window, offers the money and says, “GET LOST” in a loud and harsh tone.

The boy with a confident look and a hint of smile on his face, hands over the pin to Sam and says

“It’s FREE, INDIA is FREE, and WE ARE CELEBRATING IT, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY” and goes away.

Dumbstruck by this, he stops the music in his car then the credit rolls.

Yellow & Black

This was second of my short movie ideas.
There’s a fair going on in an Indian village, where a bunch of people painted in Yellow and Black are doing the traditional Tiger dance.A lady has come to this village along with her little boy to show him the place where she grew up in.

Image credit: http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/todays-paper/tp-others/tp-states/tiger-dance/article2448214.ece

Looking at the dancers, the kid asks,

Kid : who are they?
Mom : They are Tiger dancers.

Kid: why are they painted like that?
Mom: because that is the color of Tigers.

Kid: What is a Tiger?
Mom: It's an animal that used to exist.

Kid: Where are they now?
Mom: !!!

It may be too late,  next generation may not get the chance to even see the REAL TIGERS
So Save Our Tigers
