KANCHAN BABOO – by Arijit Biswas

TITLE SEQUENCE
1A. INT. NIGHT. CALCUTTA PUB
We catch the song at the crescendo. Bursting out……..
From close midshot of singer‘s chest and hand the camera pulls
back in a wild arc and shows us….
TRISHA, 32, singing with gay abandon….the song is of desire…
DESIRE RULES THE CITY….
With quick but fluid movements the camera runs across the pub…
smoke filled…staRk blue lasers…cutting thru smog….vapid and happy
faces..impersonal but lustfilled eyes….
Behind the singers…a cutout of Kolkata skyline with sparkling

lights dominate the wall…
Smoke rises…..lasers cut the city….
Quick intercut of real city shots in night…..streak of car

lights…..
Trish’s eyes….laughter…energy….

1. Top shot. A small middle class bazaar..people going

Kanchanbaboo is only a part of the shot..one amongst many

looking vegetables inside. Foreground has delicious

He was only thinking…..the cringing face dissolves to that

insolent laugh….heh heh heh heh
