1EXT. RESIDENTIAL LOCALITY – EARLY MORNING

It’s still dark all around. The camera spans the dark building when
suddenly we hear... SFX – the sound of various alarms going off almost
at the same time. There’s a cacophony of various sounds...

The 1st window. Light in one of the windows comes on. The camera
starts to go closer to the window as we hear a voice from the window.

MAN’S VOICE
Chalo utho beta.

A KID’S VOICE REPLIES

Baad mein.

MAN’S VOICE
Aaj adventure camp ke liye nahin jana
kya?

KID’S VOICE
Baad mein!

MAN’S VOICE
Bus chali jayegi

KID’S VOICE
Baad mein

And then we hear a grunt as if someone is lifting something heavy and

a LOUD SPLASH. WE HEAR THE KID WAKING UP SCREAMING.

KID’S VOICE
Dad yeh... yeh... yeh aapne mujhe poora
geela kar diya!

MAN’S VOICE
Chalo, lage haathon nahana bhi ho gaya,
ab seedhe kapde badal lo.

Slowly the camera leaves the first window and moves to another one.

INTERCUT:

2TIGHT CLOSE UP/MONTAGE – INT. OR EXT.

We see a montage of very stylish shots. It’s like Rambo getting ready
for war.

2
 3.

A zip on a handbag is opened.

A belt buckle is tied. A zip on a pant is pulled up.

INTERCUT:

WE REACH THE 2nd window.

The light in the window is on and we hear loud gargling and aakkh
thoo thoo sounds.

PARENTS’ VOICE
Tum brush kar rahe ho ya paani mein
doob rahe ho. Chup chaap brush karo
nahin to poori building jag jayegi.

3rd window

We move to another window. Another window light is on. We hear a

girl’s VO talking to her mother.

GIRL’S VOICE
Mom mera digital cam kahan hai?

MOM’S VOICE
Camera-case mein.

GIRL’S VOICE
Camera-case kahan hai,

MOM’S VOICE
Bag mein.

GIRL’S VOICE
Bag kahaan hai?

MOM’S VOICE
Bed pe.

GIRL’S VOICE
Bed kahan hai? Ohh voh to mujhe pata
hai.

INTERCUT the above sequence with the following shots

Someone wears a pair of black goggles.

Someone ties his shoes.

Someone puts a sharp folding knife in his pocket

BACK ON ... 4th window

 4.

We hear a sudden scream. SFX – AHHHHHHHHHHH.

KID’S VOICE
Arre kaka tum phir darr gaye. Maine
kaha na nakli saanp hai. Har baar isse
dekh ke darr jaate ho.

KAKA
Eee sasura nakli saanp hoi to asli kaisan
hoi? Dhurrr... ab eee saanp bhi aapan
saath le jaaib ka?

KID’S VOICE
Haan. Saaman mein rakh do.

KAKA
To eeka sambhaal ke rakhna bachua,
kahin koi saanpni eeka uda ke na le
jaayi!

Now we move to another building. Its door opens and a smartly

dressed boy with a scarf around his neck and a neatly packed bag
steps out.

He turns back to the door and salutes his dad whom we don’t see. We
hear the dad’s VO.

DAD VO
Good luck son. Apne adventure camp
mein achcha perform karna. Ab jao. O
500 hrs pe tumhara gate pe rendezvous
hai. Best of luck.

The son salutes and marches away.

INTERCUT:

Someone opens a gun and puts in bullets. He closes the gun and puts
it in his belt.

And last of all, someone takes a Lotpot comic and keeps it in his bag.

BOSS’S VO
Comic?

CHAMAN’S VO
Haan, voh, time milega to... Lotpot
mujhe bahut pasand hai.

4
 5.

BOSS’S VO
Mere liye bhi ek rakh lena! Chacha
Chowdhary hai kya?

BACK ON...

We follow the boy (VIKRAM) as he walks out of the gate.

3EXT. ROAD – EARLY MORNING

Vikram walks out and comes and stands by the roadside. He looks at
his watch and it’s almost 6 o clock.

VIKRAM TO HIMSELF
Bas 10 second reh gaye. 10 9 8 7 6...
(we see a bus approaching)
5 4 3... 2... 1

And the bus comes to a stop right in front of him just as he says 1.
Right on time.

We see the bus has a large banner ‘Royal Adventure Camp’ written on
it.

The bus doors are pulled open and from inside Jarnail Singh (the bus
driver-cum-adventure-camp-helper-cum-cook) steps out. Just then a
whistle is heard from inside the bus.

So loud is the whistle that Jarnail almost jumps in the air.

TIGHT CLOSE UP OF THE WHISTLE – we pull back from it and see a

beautiful woman blowing the whistle. She’s dressed in a T shirt and
stretch jeans.

This is Komal madam and we see her fully as she steps out of the bus
(she’s the instructor, beautiful and tough, very disciplined just like
Vikram, always on time, always perfect and poised).

Vikram salutes her she responds like a superior officer. Vikram salutes
Jarnail too and Jarnail does the salute all wrong.

KOMAL TO JARNAIL
Jarnail, salute karna bhi nahin aata
tumhein? Kitni baar sikhaya hai.

JARNAIL
Madam, main sab kuch fauji ki tarah kar
sakta hoon, bas salute aur marching
nahin hoti mujhse. Issi liye to aapke jaise

5
 6.

fauji nahin ban paya. Adventure camp ka

Asst-Instructor ban ke reh gaya.

KOMAL
Ok, ok. Waise saari tayiyaari ho gayi?

JARNAIL (POINTS SKYWARDS)

Bhagwaan ne sab kar liya.

KOMAL
(takes out a check list)
tent rakh liye?

JARNAIL (POINTS SKYWARDS)

Bhagwaan ne kar liya

KOMAL
Khana? Matlab daal chawal, phoa, eggs?

JARNAIL (POINTS SKYWARDS)

Bhagwaan ne kar liya.

KOMAL
Medicine kit? Nayi medicines rakhi
usmein?

JARNAIL (POINTS SKYWARDS)

Bhagwaan ne kar liya

VIKRAM (AMAZED)
Bada vishwaas hai bhagwaan pe aapko?
Sab kuch ussi pe hi chod diya hai?

JARNAIL
Haan, haan Bhagwaan bahut achcha hai,
usse sab kuch maine hi to sikhaya hai.

VIKRAM (SURPRISED)
Bhagwaan ko aapne sikhaya hai?

Just then we see a man appears at the top of the bus doing some
work.

JARNAIL
Haan aur kya! Aur yeh raha Bhagwaan.

VIKRAM (LOOKS UP)

Ohhh, yeh hai Bhagwaan?

Vikram nods understanding. And as he turns to keep his bag he sees

Bhagwaan standing right next to him.

6
 7.

VIKRAM IS STARTLED
Aap to oopar...

(Bhagwaan is very quiet when he walks, he’s suddenly there when you
call for him, and whenever anyone exclaims hey Bhagwaan he replies
yes).

Bhagwaan takes Vikram’s bag...

KOMAL TO VIKRAM
Tum to time pe aa gaye. But where’s
everyone else?

VIKRAM
Huhh, civilians. Late as always. Indian
standard time pe aayenge.

INTERCUT WITH TWO MEN DRESSED SMARTLY WALKING OUT AND

looking at the bus from a distance.

BACK ON Jarnail and Bhagwaan who put the bag in the back of the
bus. Out of sight Jarnail says to Bhagwaan.

JARNAIL
Idhar khujlana.

Bhagwaan takes out the jack of the bus and scratches Jarnail’s back
and he makes moaning sounds as he enjoys it. Just then Komal walks
up and sees this. Quickly Bhagwaan pretends to be checking the jack.

Just then a sleepy kid walks up. This is Krishh.

KOMAL
Arre Krishh tumhein kya hua?

KRISHH (SLEEPY)
Logon ko bed tea milti hai. Mujhe apne
parents se bed bath mila aaj!

Suddenly Komal whistles loudly and Krishh is suddenly awake.

KOMAL
Krishh, adventure camp pe sote hue bhi
aankhein khuli rakhni chahiye!

Krishh massages his ear and nods. A bit shaken up the Krishh turns
and suddenly finds Bhagwaan standing right next to him. He’s startled.
Bhagwaan takes Krishh’s bag but Krishh doesn’t let go.

7
 8.

KRISHH
Nahin, bag main apne pass hi
rakhoonga.

Bhagwaan lets go of it as more kids walk up. We see the well poised
Neha, the nerdy and scared Surya, the beautiful Jenny and the
prankster Sudipto walk up.

KOMAL
Hello kids.

ALL
Hello maam.

Bhagwaan starts to take their bags. Sudipto has a box in his hand
which he offers to Surya.

SUDIPTO
Mithai khani hai?

As Surya opens the box a snake pops out and Surya yells in panic.
Sudipto laughs and takes the box back. Komal again blows the whistle.

KOMAL
Come on guys. jaldi jaldi karo... move it,
move it.

CUT TO fast shots of more kids coming in. Neha is shooting everything
and the other kids pose for her.

Komal ticks the names.

KOMAL
Sab aa gaye, bas ek bacha hai.

VIKRAM
Aur voh hoga Sumeet! The evil one!

KOMAL
Ab uska aur wait nahin kar sakte. Come
on guys.

NEHA
Wow, Sumeet ke bina adventure camp!
Awesome!

She smiles and the other kids do hi-5 with her. They all hurry into the
bus.

8
 9.

4INT. BUS - MORNING

SUDIPTO
Chalo, jaldi karo. Kahin voh tapak na
pade. JALDI JALDI...

Quickly they take their seats.

SLOW MOTION - Jarnail puts the key in the ignition and turns. The bus
roars to life. He puts it into gear and the bus moves forwards. All the
kids scream yaaayyyyyyyyyyyy.

SURYA
Thank God Sumeet se bach gaye.

And just then the bus lurches forward and comes to an abrupt stop.
Everyone sees a large car has come and stopped right in front of the
bus.

5EXT. ROAD - MORNING

THE CAMERA MOVES TOWARDS THE CAR. The chauffeur steps out and
runs to open the back door.

KIDS (VO)
Ohhh no... aa gaya villain.

And from the car steps out a boy. WE SEE HIS SHOES. THEN THE
CAMERA MOVES TO REVEAL THE KID. HE’S wearing goggles and rich
clothes.

The camera moves back to show the kid – this boy is Sumeet.
Presented as a villain. Bhagwaan runs to him. Sumeet clicks his finger
and says...

SUMEET
Hey you, kya naam hai tumhara?

BHAGWAAN
Bhagwaan.

SUMEET
Jo bhi ho, mera bag peeche se nikalo.
(Bhagwaan goes to take his knapsack)
arre mere peeche se nahin, you idiot.
Gaadi ke peech se.

BHAGWAAN
Aap aur saaman laaye ho?

Bhagwaan opens the car’s trunk and we see it full of bags.

9
 10.

BAGWAAN
Baarat ka saaman to aa gaya, baarat
kahan hai?

Komal and Jarnail too walk out.

KOMAL
What’s all this, maine kaha tha na har
bachche ke saath sirf ek bag hoga. Yeh
bag tumhein yahin chodne padenge. Sirf
kapde le kar chalo.

SUMEET
Sirf kapde hi to hain! Aur thode games,
aur music system, and some snacks, you
know, little-little things!

JARNAIL
Arre aap koi ek bag uthao aur chalo.
Time garbage ho raha hai.

SUMEET
Hey you, tumhara naam kya hai?

JARNAIL (PROUDLY)
Jarnail Singh Shamsher Singh Sidhwana.

SUMEET
Poori family ka naam hai yeh sirf
tumhara?
(Jarnail fumes)
Chalo, tum jo bhi ho, tumse baat nahin
kar raha main.

Komal whistles loudly and everyone massages their ears.

KOMAL (TO SUMEET’S DRIVER)

Suniye aap yeh sab saaman le ke wapas
jaiye.
(to Sumeet)
get on the bus now!
(chalo Jarnail)
waise hi pandrah minute der ho chuki
hai. We’re running behind schedule.

She turns and walks away. Jarnail and Bhagwaan too get in the bus.
Summet sees that they really are leaving. He too quickly runs and gets
on the bus with only one bag as it moves away.

10
 11.

As the bus starts to move we see behind it two men pretend to be

peeing in the bushes, as the bus moves they turn around. Now we see
them fully for the first time.

They are Boss and Chaman. Both look smart. They look at each other
and nod. Smartly they walk to their bikes. Chaman takes out his keys
and smartly puts it in the ignition. Smartly he turns it on and then
kicks. But unsmartly the bike starts, then sputters phut phut and dies.
Boss looks at Chaman and makes an impatient face.

Smartly Chaman kicks again. The bike goes phut phut again but
doesn’t start. Now all the coolness goes and Chaman starts to kick
wildly. The bus is almost gone out of sight.

Boss makes a face and pushes Chaman aside. Chaman moves away.
Boss stands next to the bike. Extends his hand, cracks his fingers, and
knuckles. And then taking a deep breath he kicks and the bike roars to
life. Chaman is amazed. Boss sits down on the front seat. Chaman
wipes the back seat with his hanky very carefully.

BOSS
Arre chal na Chaman kahin ka. Jaldi kar.

Quickly Chaman jumps on the back seat and says.

CHAMAN
Chalo boss... Gaddhe bacha ke.

And the bike zips off after the bus. As the bike moves away we catch a
glimpse of a gun stuck in Boss’s belt!

6IN THE BUS – DAY

The kids are chatting away busy in their own thing.

Neha is shooting. She shoots all the kids one by one. Sudipto makes a
funny face.

The camera goes to Surya who become very conscious and stiff. The
camera goes to Jenny she doesn’t react to it chewing the bubblegum.

The camera goes to Krishh who’s still sleeping. The camera goes to
Sumeet who shows a punch to the camera angrily. The camera goes to
Vikram who salutes the camera.

Suddenly Neha removes the camera and looks at Krishh. She lets out a
giggle and everyone turns to look at him. We see Sudipto has put a
ladies Bindi on Krishh’s forehead but he doesn’t know it. Krishh looks
funny.

11
 12.

Everyone laughs out as Krishh still sleeps.

Just then Komal who was checking the schedule and doing some work
turns and sees the kids chatting and laughing. She stands up and
looks at them. Then, slowly takes out her whistle and blows it hard.

So loud is the whistle that Krishh falls out of his seat. He wakes up and
looks around. Suddenly the kids are all quiet. They turn to face Komal
who begins to speak as she walks down the bus’ aisle.

KOMAL
Good morning kids. Main hoon apki
instructor aur friend Komal Mansingh.
Aur mere saath hain mere co-instructors
Jarnail Singh Shamsher Singh Sidhwana
aur Bhagwaan Lal Tiwari. Aur main aap
sab ko yahan, is adventure camp mein,
tahe dil se swaagat karti hoon. Kids,
welcome to Royal Adventure Camp!
(she says these words with such
panache, such power and such
confidence that the kids watch
spellbound)
Agle teen dinon mein aap aisa kuch
experience karenge jo aapki zindagi
badal dega. Iss adventure camp ke baad
aap bachche nahin rahenge. Aapka
bachpan khatam. Aur aapki adult life
shuru ho jayegi. Aap young adults ban
jayenge.

At this some of the kids clap excitedly and soon all kids except for
Sumeet clap and whistle.

KOMAL (CONT’D)
Yaad rahe yeh ek adventure camp hai,
aur yahan - discipline is everything.
Yahan hum three musketeeers ka naara
apnayenge - one for all and all for one.
We will stay together, work togther, do
all the tasks together, and have fun
together!
(again some kids clap excitedly)
Chalo, moving ahead, ab mere co-
instructor, Mr. Bhagwaan aap sab ko
camp ke rules samjhayenge.

Bhagwaan stands up with a list and begins to read.

12
 13.

BHAGWAAN
Rule number one. Jab Komal madam
whistle bajayengi tab sabko gaur se inki
baat sunni hai.

SUMEET
Hum aadmi hain ki kutte?

Some kids laugh. Komal sees Sumeet.

KOMAL TO SUMEET
Mr. Sumeet, khade hoiye please. Yeh
bataiye, team ka kya matlab hota hai?

SUMEET
Team ka matlab hota hai baaki sab woh
karein jo main kahoon. I have always
been a leader, never a follower.

Some of the kids laugh at this.

KOMAL
Koi problem nahin, there’s always a first
time. Agle kuch dinon mein main aapko
teamwork aur discipline ka matlab
samjhaoongi. Umeed hai ki aapka
dimaag bhi aapki zabaan ki tarah tez
hoga.

SUMEET (SMILES/CHALLENGING)
Aaj tak to koi mujhe kuch sikha nahin
paaya, let’s see!!!

Sumeet stares into Komal’s eyes and she smiles confidently!

7EXT. ROAD - DAY

Boss is on the bike alone and he’s talking to a vacant backseat.

BOSS
To plan samjha mein aa gaya na
Chaman? Aaj ke baad hum ameer honge,
bade bhaaiy honge! Hamara naam bhi
India’s most wanted mein liya jayega...
samjhe? Chaman?

There’s no reply and Boss looks back to see the backseat vacant. He
stops the bike and turns back to see that Chaman has fallen off the
bike. Chaman runs up limping.

13
 14.

CHAMAN (HOLDING HIS BACK)

Gir gaya main boss. Kaha tha na gaddhe
bacha ke.

BOSS
Bahut gira hua aadmi hai tu Chaman.

Quickly he gets on the bike again and almost falls off as it zips away.

8BACK IN THE BUS – DAY

Bhagwaan is still reading the itnerary

BHAGWAAN (STILL BRIEFING)

12.30 pe hum lunch ke liye rukenge.
1.30 tak lunch, phir shaam ko 4 baje
hum pahunchenge Kolad, apne
adventure camp. 9 baje dinner and dus
baje bed time.

KOMAL
Thank you for the itenrary Bhagwaan.

Bhagwaan sits down and Komal stands up again and just then she
turns to Krishh and looks at his bindi.

KOMAL
Mr. Krishh, aapne yeh bindi kyun lagayi
hui hai?

KRISHH LOOKS AROUND

Kya? Maine? Bindi?

SUDIPTO
Komal madam, jaise Scotish men skirts
pehente hain waise hi Kirshh bindi lagata
hai.

Everyone laughs. Komal takes the bindi off Kirshh’s forehead and tells
him...

KOMAL
Mr. Krishh, bindi aur chudiyaan pehanna
is trip mein allowed nahin. For boys or
girls!

Everyone laughs again and Krishh gets up fuming. He turns to Sudipto.

14
 15.

KRISHH
Mujhe pata hai tune hi yeh kiya hai
Sudipto, main tere ko chodoonga nahin!

Krishh is about to fight him when Komal pulls them away from each
other.

KOMAL
No fights, remember we are a team.

Krishh calms down. Suddenly Jenny speaks up.

JENNY
Kisi ko ghar chitthi post karni hai? Letter
box khula hai yahin bus mein?

NEHA
Letter box? Yahan bus mein?

Jenny points to Krishh’s zip. And he sees that his zip is open. Quickly
he pulls up the zip as everyone laughs again.

NEHA
That’s the spirit guys. Thoda hansi
mazaak to shuru hua. Magar kisi ka
mazaak udana achcha nahin. Main
batoon best comedians kaun hote hain?

NEHA
Kaun maam.

KOMAL
Voh jo apna mazaak khud udaate hain!
Make fun of yourself and you will enjoy
the journey called life.

The kids shout excitedly and a song starts in the background...

9EXT. ROAD/BIKE – SAME TIME/DAY

Shots of Chaman and Boss following on the road. They see the kids
enjoying.

CHAMAN
Inko masti karte dekh mujhe bhi apna
bachpan yaad aa gaya. Remand home
mein hum bhi kitni masti karte they, hai
na boss?

15
 16.

BOSS
Mujhe to dande padte rehte they. Tere
ko hi maza aata hoga!

INTERCUT WITH THE BUS... song in the background. Kids enjoying.

Sumeet alone listens to music on his ipod.

10INT/EXT. BUS AND ROAD - LATER... ON A RED LIGHT

The bus has stopped. The kids are being naughty. Sudipto is chewing a
bubblegum. He looks out of the bus window and sees Chaman and
another biker standing alongside on the road. He spits out a chewing
gum so that it falls on the biker outside. And throws its wrapper on
Chaman.

The chewing gum falls on the biker outside and he turns to see who
has thrown it on him.

Sudipto hides and the driver sees Chaman next to him with the
wrapper on the bike’s fuel tank.

BIKER
Hey, mere par chewing gum kyun daali.
Bata hoon tere ko.

The biker reaches out to catch Boss and Chaman and Boss drives
away. We see this incident has been shot by Neha on her handycam.

11INT. BUS - LATER

Surya is wearing glasses sitting behind Sudipto. He gets up and

reaches for his bag. He puts his hand in and takes out a snake. A girl
sitting next to him cries out in horror and begins to scream.

GIRL
Saanp, saanp, saanp.

All the other kids look at the snake and begin to shout and scream.
Vikram comes up and bravely snatches the snake and throws it out of
the bus and it lands on Chaman’s face.

12EXT. ROAD/BIKE - DAY

Boss sees the snake and begins to panic. Chaman too is scared and
Boss looses his balance as he brakes. The bike skids and almost falls.

Quickly Chaman jumps off the bike and starts to uncoil the snake
that’s around his neck. He takes the snake and throws it to Boss who
catches it and looks at it carefully.

16
 17.

BOSS
Be chaman kahin ke, ye to rubber ka hai!

BACK IN THE BUS that has stopped as Jarnail heard the screaming...

VIKRAM
Kya? Rubber ka saanp tha?

SURYA
Haan! US se uncle ne bheja tha. It cost a
bomb. Mujhe wapas chahiye. Or my dad
will kill me.

VIKRAM
Sorry.

KOMAL
Bhagwaan jao, voh rubber ka saanp
wapas le aao. Quick.

13EXT. ROAD - DAY

Bhagwaan runs back some distance and looks around for the snake.
He sees one in the bushes. He picks it up and runs back to the bus.

BACK IN THE BUS...

THE BUS starts moving and Bhagwaan hands the snake back to Surya
who takes it and looks at it.

SURYA
Arre yeh mera saanp nahin, yeh to asli
hai.

The girls scream once again and Vikram quickly comes and again
throws the real snake out of the window.

Once again it falls on Chaman as he’s sitting behind Boss who’s driving
by the side of the bus trying to overtake it.

CHAMAN
Arre yeh nakli saanp kyun phenk rahe
hain.

He takes the snake and gives it to Boss. Boss takes the snake and
then looks closely.

BOSS
Abbey chaman kahin key, yeh asli hai!

17
 18.

And once again Boss slams on the brakes.

The bike skids to a halt and Boss throws the snake on Chaman who
begins to almost fight with it as it sticks to him.

IN THE BUS... there’s chaos as kids talk.

SURYA
Magar mera rubber snake?

KOMAL
Ab hum aur nahin ruk sakte Surya. Keep
driving Jarnail.

Surya sulks and starts to read his thick big book of snakes of the
subcontinent. He hates Vikram for throwing his snake.

MONTAGE – kids having fun.

Sumeet sees a kid next to him eating something from the lunchbox.
He’s feeling hungry as his food bag wasn’t allowed on the bus. He
gestures, give your lunchbox to me. The kid gives him quietly and
Sumeet eats it.

The boys are being naughty and hit the girls with paper balls.

Behind them... we see the two following on a bike desperately.

14EXT. DHABA – DAY (1ST ATTEMPT)

The bus moves through a beautiful wooded area and reaches a dhaba.
The kids are very excited and very hungry. They love the beautiful
place with the jungle all around.

NEHA
Wow, what an awesome place!

They are about to jump out of the bus and run to the dhaba when
Komal whistles.

KOMAL
Guys, sab ek saath rehna, idhar udhar
bhagna mat. 45 minutes mein hum
yahan se chal denge.

ANJALI
Madam, hum line bana ke chalien?

KOMAL
As you wish Anjali.

18
 19.

ANJALI (TO KIDS AROUND HIM)

Chalo haath pakadte hain
(she tries to hold the hands of others but
no one listens to her)
arre kya hua?

Finally she finds a kid and the two hold hands and enter the dhaba.

15INT. RESTAURANT/DHABA - DAY

As they take their seat on a large table.

KOMAL ASKS ANJALI

Anjali, yeh bachcha kaun hai? Yeh
hamare saath nahin hai!

And everyone laughs as we realize that she has brought a kid from
another group with her.

AT THE DOOR... BOSS AND CHAMAN enter. They are WATCHING.

WAITING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB SUMEET. One kids turns
towards them and they pick up menu’s and hide their faces behind
them. Just then a waiter comes.

WAITER
Aap menu padte hi rahenge ya baith kar
kuch order bhi karenge.

BOSS (LOOKS AT CHAMAN)

Ehhh, voh, paani le aana.

WAITER
Mineral water hai, pandrah rupay.
Baithiye lata hoon, aur khane ka order
bhi soch lijiye.

Waiter leaves and the two sit down on a table still hiding their faces
with the menu.

CHAMAN
Paani ke pandhar rupay? Dada re dada.
Waise boss, thodi pooja kar lein?

BOSS
Pooja?

CHAMAN
Haan, pet ki.

19
 20.

BOSS
Haan kahna to padega hi. Tu order kar
main aata hoon.

Boss leaves to go to the loo and the waiter comes to Chaman.

CHAMAN
Haan waiter ji. Ek le aana, yeh, jiski
photo lagi hai, yahan pe. Aur yeh bhi,
aur yeh bhi...

WAITER (POINTS)
Aur yeh wala?

CHAMAN
Le aao, le aao. Aur yeh jo gol gol, laal
laal hai, yeh bhi.

WAITER
Aur yeh bhi le aata hoon?

CHAMAN
Haan! Jain jaldi se...

ON THE KID’S TABLE... the kids are laughing and eating. Surya is
talking to a girl and we see Sumeet takes his chicken piece away and
puts some sabji in its place. As Surya turns he’s surprised to see his
chicken gone and he looks around scratching his head.

KOMAL
Mr. Surya, apne vegetables kha lo!

Surya makes a face and starts to eat his veggies.

We see Jenny eats quietly as Krishh steals glances at her. As Jenny

looks at him, quickly he looks away and accidentally water falls on his
pants. Jenny laughs as Krishh makes a face and wipes his pants.

INTERCUT WITH - ON BOSS AND CHAMAN AS THEY KEEP AN EYE ON

SUMEET.

Just then the waiter comes loaded with many dishes. He begins to
serve them.

BOSS
Hello? Yeh galti se koi mistake hogi. Yeh
to kisi bus ka khana hai.

WAITER (POINTING TO CHAMAN)

Inhone order kiya tha.

20
 21.

As the waiter leaves Boss hits Chaman on his head.

BOSS
Be chaman kahin ka. Yeh sab kyun
mangwaya? Itna paisa thodi hai hamare
paas!

CHAMAN
Sorry boss.

BOSS
Chalo aaya hai to kha lete hain. Jitna
poori zindagi mein total nahin khaya
hoga utna poora aaj ek baar mein full ho
jaaye.

CHAMAN (EXCITEDLY)
Haan boss, aur yahan ka yeh mineral
paani, jail ki daal se bhi gada hai.

BOSS
Sahi bola!

As they’re eating they see Sumeet get up and go to the loo. As the
waiter is keeping an eye on them Boss says.

BOSS (WHISPERS TO CHAMAN)

Ehh murga bathroom ja raha hai.

CHAMAN (LOOKS AT THE CHICKEN IN HIS

PLATE)
Hain? Yeh bathroom kar raha hai?

BOSS
Abbey yeh nahin voh ladka, ja uske
peeche. Chal.

CHAMAN
Magar main hi kyun?

BOSS
Boss kaun hai?

CHAMAN
Aap ho boss.

Chaman has to go alone.

21
 22.

16OUTSIDE THE TOILET

There are two doors... Chaman doesn’t see the sign and first he enters
the ladies loo and we hear a slap and then he comes out massaging
his cheek. He looks at the gents door and enters.

17INSIDE THE GENT’S TOILET

The loo is empty and he looks under the cabin doors.

Just then Jarnail comes in and sees Chaman on the floor looking into
the cabins.

JARNAIL ANGRILY
Hey, kya karta hai, behooda. Chee!

CHAMAN THINKS QUICKLY

Arre nahin, main to... haan, main to saaf
kar raha tha.

JARNAIL
To saaf kar na. Jhadu kahan hai?

Chaman looks around and taking a jhadu he begins to clean the loo.
Jarnail goes to pee looking at him. Chaman is looking at Jarnail all the
time and Jarnail thinks that Chaman is strange. He turns away from
him but Chaman’s eyes follow and Jarnail is very uncomfortable.

Just then Sumeet comes out of a cabin and moves to wash his hands.
Chaman is about to pounce on Sumeet and Jarnail sees this. He
wonders what Chaman is up to...

JARNAIL
Ehh tu kar kya raha hai? Hain, kar kya
raha hai? Hain? Hain?

CHAMAN
Main to bas saaf...

Just then a restaurant employee enters. Jarnail complains...

JARNAIL
Aapne kaise log yahan rakhe hue hain.
Yeh... yeh dekhte hain doosre ko.

EMPLOYEE (SHOCKED)
Dekhte hain?
(to chaman)
safaayi kyun nahin karte? Idhar udhar

22
 23.

kya dekte ho. Saara saaf karo chalo. Aur

taank jhaank mat karna.

Jarnail and Sumeet leave. Chaman takes a plunger and begins to clean
the loo.

IN THE DHABA... later

BOSS waits... Chaman comes out of the loo.

BOSS
Kar liya ladke ko saaf?

CHAMAN
Nahin bathroom ko saaf kiya.

BOSS
Kya? Aur yeh badbu kaisi hai?

And he makes a face as Chaman smells terribly.

Just then they see the kids leaving.

BOSS
Humein bhi chalna chaiye.

As they get up to leave the waiter arrives with the bill.

BOSS
Arre bill? Humne to order nahin kiya tha.
Tumne kiya tha Chaman?

CHAMAN
Nahin.

WAITER SMILES
Bahut achcha mazak kar lete hain. Yeh
lijiye.

Boss takes the bill slowly and both sit down. The waiter waits for the
money.

Boss and Chaman wonder what to do... they talk in with their eyes.
Then suddenly boss winks at Chaman and Chaman understands.

BOSS
Chalo chalein. Bill main pay karta hoon.
Kitna hua? 670 rupees?
(starts to take out his purse)

23
 24.

CHAMAN
Arre aap kyun denge. Hum pay karoonga
bhai.

BOSS
Bhaisahib aap kyun? Adventure camp ki
buses hamari hain. Hum aapko laaye
yahan pe. Aur hum chahte hain ki
hamari dus buses yahan per rukein. To
paise hum hi na denge na.

CHAMAN
Magar bachche to hamare school ke hain
na. To hum denge na bill.

BOSS
Dekhiye, baat maniye, hum denge.

CHAMAN
Nahin hum.

BOSS
Arre samajh nahin na aata kya? Idhar
dijiye bill.

CHAMAN
Bata rahe hain, achcha nahin hoga. Yeh
hamari baat kaat rahe hain aap.

BOSS
Baat kya, aur bahut kuch kaat denge
hum.

CHAMAN
Naak ke neeche ko gaddha hai usse
band kijiye, bata rahein hain...

The two begin to push each other. Just then the restaurant owner
arrives.

RESTAURANT
Samasya kya hai? Samasya?

BOSS
Arre sir, aapki shakal se aap ek
samjhdaar aur ek intelligent aadmi lagte
hain. Aap hi na bataiye, humara voh
adventure camp hai. Voh jiski bus abhi
abhi yahan se gayi. Royal Adventure
Camp. Aur hum yahan ka kahan check
karne aaye they. Humein achcha laga.

24
 25.

Namak thoda zyada tha magar achcha

tha. Ab hum chahte hain na, ki hamari
dus ki dus busein yahan rukein. To ab
bataiye hamara khane ka bill 670 rupay,
voh humein hi dena chahiye na. Magar
yeh kehte hain ki kyunki bachche inke
school ke hain bill yeh denge. Bataiye
na, yeh koi baat hui?

CHAMAN
Nahin, magar bachche to hamare hain
na. Aap bataiye.
(to Boss)
waise samajhdaar lagte hain yeh.

BOSS
Arre lagte to hain. Voh baat hai inki
shakal mein...

MANAGER (PLEASED)
Arre aap log hamare itne mehtwaroorna
mehmaan hain. Bill jaisi choti cheez ke
chalte mann khatta mat kijiye. Bill kya
hai ... koi bhi de de... yeh koi samasya
nahin.

BOSS
Nahin main doonga.

CHAMAN
Nahin main.

BOSS
Phir main yahan kabhi nahin aaoonga.

CHAMAN
Theek hai mat aaiye.

MANAGER (ALARMED)
Arre, samasya ka samaadhan mil gaya.
Bill hum na de dete hain. Laaiye.
(he takes the bill and tears it up)
lijiye, de diya bill.

BOSS
Arre sir, aapne yeh kya kiya? Bill hi faad
diya?

MANAGER
Bill? Kaun saa bill?

25
 26.

All of them laugh.

MANAGER
Ab suniye, aap logon ka safar lamba hai,
aur aagey hamare jaisa dhaba koi nahin.
To aap log...
(calls waiter)
inko do packed dinner lao jaldi. Aur
achcar, salad saath mein pack kar dena.

BOSS
Arre, iski kya zaroorat hai.

MANAGER
Haan aur mithai bhi. Rasgulla? Gulab
jamun?

BOSS AND CHAMAN TOGETHER

Haan chalega.

MANAGER
Tab tak aap biathiye aur lassi pijiye.
Baithiye baithiye...

Boss and Chaman sit down.

18EXT. DHABA - DAY

As the two drive away on the bike, the owner is waving to them like a
long lost friend...

19EXT. ROAD - DAY

ON THE BIKE... Boss and Chaman are laughing away... They ride
quickly the catch up with the bus.

20LONG SHOT OF THEM NEARING THE BUS

21INT. BUS - DAY

Neha shoots. The bus moves over a hilly road. It’s going up and down
slopes. We see the bike comes and overtakes the bus. Neha shoots
them as they speed away.

As Neha turns she shoot she sees Jenny talking on her cellphone. So
do some other kids. Komal sees them. She sees the bus approaches a
crossroad.

26
 27.

BHAGWAAN
Pahunch gaye madam. Magar in
bachchon ko dekhiye phone par hi lage
hua hain.

KOMAL (TO JARNAIL)

Jarnail bus roko.
(Jarnail stops the bus, she whistles,
everyone looks up)
pay attention please. Apne mobile aur
valuables idhar de dijiye. All of you.
Camp mein mobiles allowed nahin. Aur
aapke valuables bhi safe nahin. Sab
Bhagwaan sir ko de dijiye. Jaldi.
(nobody moves)
Please co-operate everyone.

JENNY
But why should we give our phones?

BHAGWAAN
Jahan ja rahe hain wahaan mobiles waise
bhi nahin chalte.

SUDIPTO
Kya dhakka dene par bhi nahin chalte?
(kids laugh)

JENNY
I’m not giving.

OTHERS
Hum bhi nahin denge.

KOMAL
Theek hai, idhar hi rukte hain jab tak sab
nahin maante.
(everyone waits)
kisi ko gana aata hai. Lets sing a song
while we wait?
(no one reacts)

MEANWHILE UP AHEAD... Boss drops nails on road to get the bus

punctured. But the bus has stopped before it reaches spot.

Boss and Chaman waits for the bus to come.

BOSS
Aa kyun nahin rahe?

27
 28.

CHAMAN
Peeche chal kar dekhein? Ho sakta hai
yahin mauka mil jaaye...

They forget about the nails and return to check why the bus has
stopped. But their own bike gets punctured by their own nails!

Boss stops the bike and checks the wheels. They are stunned, both
their tyres are punctured.

INTERCUT WITH the bus...

VIKRAM (SLOWLY STANDS UP)

Come on guys. Komal madam ki baat
maan jaate hain. Time waste ho raha
hai.

BHAGWAAN
Aur kaafi door jana hai trek kar ke.
Andhere mein gaye to tendua, saanp,
aur bichoo ka khatra hai.

JARNAIL
Aur madam, merese raat mein aisi tedi
medi sadak pe gaadi nahin chalti, aaj
raat yahin bus mein rehte hain.

KOMAL
Theek aaj raat phir idhar hi. Chalo bus ke
andar hi intezaam karte hain...

She gets up as if to make preperations for staying there. But just then
all kids slowly get up (even the chatty Neha and Sumeet) and hand
over their phones. Some kids hand over their gold chains etc.

JENNY
Magar rules to sabke liye same hone
chahiye na? Aap sab ke mobiles...?

So even Komal and Jarnail have to hand over their own phones which
Bhagwaan keeps carefully in a bag.

After Bhagwaan has collected the mobiles the bus restarts and takes a
turn and goes down a kaccha road. Kids shout in excitement yayyyyy.

ON Chaman and Boss as they see the bus taking a turn down a
kachcha road.

CHAMAN
Ab kya karien?

28
 29.

BOSS
Tyre ko chodo. Main bike pe chalta hoon
tum paidal aao, aagey milte hain.

Boss gets on the punctured bike and follows the bus down the kaccha
road. The bike is moving at 5 kms per hour. And soon Chaman walking
casually overtakes Boss on the bike!

LATER... The two are still following the bus when they see the bus has
come to a stop down below in the valley.

They leave their bike which has shreds instead of tyres by now and
walk down to the bus. They’re tired and panting. They hang on to each
other for support

22EXT. JUNGLE - DAY

MEANWHILE... Komal and kids walk deeper into the jungle to a

clearing.

VIKRAM
What a place.

NEHA (SHOOTING)
Awesome!

KRISHH
Komal madam, yahan pe leopards hote
hain.

KOMAL
Yes, of course. Ab hum apna ghar chod
kar leopards ke ghar aa gaye hain. So we
must behave.

All the kids come close to each other a bit scared. Someone growls like
a leopard and kids giggle. We see Sumeet still seems disinterested.

BHAGWAAN
Kyun Sumeet, aapko jagah achchi nahin
lagi?

SUMEET
Kuch khaas nahin hai.

ON BOSS AND CHAMAN as they reach the bus.

The two stop and catch their breath.

29
 30.

BOSS
Yeh apharan karna aasan nahin. Sach,
supari lena, chori chakari, dacaity isse
zyada aasan hai.

Chaman starts to go into the jungle after the kids.

BOSS
Ruk ja Chaman kahin ke.

Chaman stops and we see Boss goes under the bus.

23EXT. ADVENTURE CAMP AREA - DAY

ON Komal AND THE KIDS... as they reach a beautiful clearing next to a

lake. It’s stunning and the kids look around.

NEHA
This is fantabulous.

Bhagwaan turns to Sumeet and he makes a face that it’s kind of ok.
Not so great.

KOMAL
Chalo everyone. Ab hum tents
lagayenge! Lab help karenge aur apne
apne tents sab khud hi pitch karenge.

KIDS
Yes!

24A SERIES OF SHOTS:

- Jarnail, Bhagwaan and Komal help the kids in pitching tents.

- they demonstrate... and guide the kids.

- sumeet yawns and sits down on a rock as if bored. Komal sees he is

not participating.

- soon the tents are pitched.

KOMAL
Great job guys. Ab andar jao aur dekho,
apna aalishaan ghar, jo tumne khud
apne haathon se banaya hai.

The kids run into the tents.

30
 31.

25INT. NEHA AND JENNY’S TENT - DAY

They run in and Neha takes out a photo of her puppy and keeps it next
to her knapsack. Jenny takes out her bed...

BACK OUTSIDE

Komal whistles and the kids run out.

KOMAL
Aaj hum yahin per rahenge aur basics
seekhnge. Matlab knot tying. Bina
maachis ya lighter ke aag jalana. Aur
raat mein hum ek campfire jala kar
dinner karenge.. aur enjoy karenge.
Three cheers for everyone. Hip hip

KIDS
Hoorayyyy!

26MONTAGE - KOMAL BRIEFLY EXPLAINS TO THEM DIFFERENT ROPE KNOTS

AND THE BASICS… JARNAIL AND BHAGWAAN DEMONSTRATE. ALL THE
KIDS STRUGGLE. JENNY IS DOING NOTHING. KOMAL ASKS HER WHY
SHE ISN’T DOING AND JENNY SHOWS, SHE’S ALREADY DONE IT.

27JUST THEN WE SEE THE TWO KIDNAPPERS WALK UP. THEY HIDE BEHIND A
BUSH AND WATCH.

28MONTAGE

A shot of the sun going down over the hills.

Birds fly in the sky.

A gentle breeze rustles the leave of the trees.

A starlit sky is visible up above. We see the stars close to us.

We see a pov through a small telescope that Surya has with him.

He lowers the telescope and we see are at...

29EXT. ADVENTURE CAMP SITE/CAMPFIRE - NIGHT

Surya watches ths tars through the telescope. He passes the telescope
to others who watch too. The telescope reaches Jenny who looks
through it. Krishh looks at Jenny looking through the telescope and
looks at her.

31
 32.

SUDIPTO (ASKING JENNY)

Kyun Jenny, kya dikha un stars pe? Koi
alien, valien?

JENNY (LOWERS AND LOOKS AT SUDIPTO)

Ab dikh raha hai.

SUDIPTO
Kya Jenny main koi alien thodi, main to
tumhare bhai jaisa hoon. Magar Krishh
tumhare bhai jaisa nahin. Jab tum stars
dekh rahin thin, yeh tumhein dekh raha
tha. With stars in his eyes.

KRISH EMBARASSED
Hey Sudipto, what are you saying bro?
Soch samjha ke bol.

Jenny looks at Krishh and Krishh looks away. Komal walks up...

KOMAL
Chalo guys, vegetables kaat lo.
Telescope to baad mein bhi dekh sakte
ho... Aur kaat ke Jarnail ko de aao.

Komal walks away. Krish begins cutting vegetables again and he cuts
his hand. He sucks his finger.

We see Jenny walks away and returns with a bandaid. She gives the
bandaid to Krishh who slowly takes it but can’t put it on his own finger.
Jenny puts the bandaid on Krishh’s finger. Sudipto whistles.

JENNY
Shut up Sudipto. Nahin to main tumhare
moonh pe bhi bandaid laga doongi.

Krishh laughs and Sudipto become quiet.

30INT/EXT. KITCHEN TENT - NIGHT

Close up of Jarnail crying. He wipes his eyes and as we pull back from
him we see he’s outside the kitchen chopping some onions. He cuts
and places them on a table as he turns to get more stuff... we see the
two kidnappers watch.

Chaman’s stomach grumbles.

BOSS
Sahi keh rahe ho chaman, mujhe bhi
bahut bhookh lag rahi hai.

32
 33.

CHAMAN
To apna packed lunch kha lein? Jo dhabe
se mila tha.

BOSS
Nahin usse bacha kar rakhte hain. Uska
breakfast kar lenge. Manager ne kaha
tha ek din to kharaab nahin hoga. Abhi
ke liye thoda haath saaf kar ke khana
khate hain!

He points to Jarnail cooking dinner and Chaman understands. They

creep up to the cooking table and hide beside it. They smell good food
from the cooking pot.

BOSS WHISPERS
Main uska dyaan batata hoon tu maal
uda le. Haan, salad zaroor lena.

Boss goes to some tent and calls out.

BOSS
Oye chapadganju, idhar aa.

JARNAIL (REACTS)
Hain? Kisi ne bulaya humein?

BOSS
Nahin.

JARNAIL
Phir theek hai.
(he gets back to work)

BOSS
Psssss. Chapadganju.

JARNAIL
Hain?

BOSS
Idhar aa lalloo.

Jarnail turns and starts looking in the nearby tents.

JARNAIL
Arre kahaan ho bhai?

BOSS
Yahan, idhar. Dekh tera dimaag gir gaya.

33
 34.

JARNAIL
Hain kahan kahan?
(realizes)
dimaag gir gaya? Hai kaun?

Jarnail starts to check various tents.

Meanwhile ... Chaman steals the cooked stuff along with plates and
spoons and water etc. he loads himself and goes to the nearby trees
and hides the stuff.

JARNAIL (GOES INTO A TENT)

Iss tent mein koi hai?

BOSS HIDING INSIDE THE TENT

Nahin koi nahin hai yahan.

Jarnail leaves and then realizes someone was in the tent. He goes back
and looks but no one is there.

Meanwhile Chaman gestures to Boss he has stolen enough. Boss

escapes into the nearby jungle.

Jarnail too looks around, finds no one. He returns to his kitchen, turns
to check his vegetables and realizes food is vanishing and wonders
what is happening.

JARNAIL
Arre yeh khana kahan gaya?

He looks around and sees monkeys in the trees.

JARNAIL
Aur voh awaazein kiski thin? Kahin bhoot
to nahin?

A chill runs down his spine. He quickly goes to his kitchen trying to
finish cooking while shooing away the monkey that makes a face at
him. Jarnail is scared of the monkey too...

Meanwhile... the two kidnappers have managed to get enough food for
themselves! They are eating and enjoying.

CHAMAN
Boss thodi si chicken bhi kha loon, jo
dhabe se laaye they.

BOSS
Bilkul bhi nahin. Bacha ke rakhna hai, kal
khana nahin mila to?

34
 35.

CHAMAN
Magar boss, thoda sa.

BOSS
Boss kaun hai?

CHAMAN
Aap ho boss.

BOSS
To kaun decide karega?

CHAMAN
Aap karoge boss.

BOSS
To apna roti khane wala gaddha band
kar aur chup chap khana kha.

31DINNER TIME...

A big table has been laid out in the open. The kids come and sit down.
As Jarnail comes the kids start ordering all kinds of stuff.

SUMEET
Hey Jarnail. Ya jo bhi tumhara naam hai,
mere liye ek butter chicken?

JARNAIL
Butter chicken?

SUDIPTO
Fish milegi? Fish ka kuch bhi chalega.

SURYA
Karele ki sabji

KRISHH
Tumhein kya chahiye Jenny? Mujhe to
paneer...

JARNAIL
Achcha achcha hum late hain sabke liye.

Komal smiles and watches as Jarnail and Bhagwaan get a few bowls of
food and keep on the table.

SUMEET
Yeh butter chicken hai?

35
 36.

JARNAIL
Haan.

SUDIPTO
Aur fish?

JARNAIL
Yehi hai. Jo bhi hai bas yehi hai. macchi,
butter chicken, karele ki sabji, aur bhurji.
Ab aankh band kar ke kha lo.

Neha pours out some sabji and sees.

NEHA
Assorted vegetables.

SUDIPTO
Matlab vegetables hi vegetarian sabji?
Yuck.

KOMAL
Hum jungle mein hain, kisi five star hotel
mein nahin. Jungle mein non-veg
khayenge to animals attract honge. Tum
sab chahte ho ki hum raat ko leopards
ke saath soyein?

VIKRAM (ALREADY EATING)

Very tasty madam. Bahut bhadiya bana
hai Jarnail.

Everyone starts to pour out stuff serving themselves.

SUMEET (MAKES A FACE)

Main koi bakri nahin jo ghaas phoos
khaoon.

SUDIPTO
Dekhne mein to lagta hai.

Kids laugh and Sudipto and Sumeet are almost about to fight with
each other.

KOMAL (WHISTLES)
Nahin! No fights. Chup chaap khana
khao. Aur suno. Bhagwaan sab dekh
raha hai. Mera matlab hamara
bhagwaan. Voh ek register mein points
de raha hai. Sabse achche candidate ko
ek adventure gear free milega – matlab

 37.

shoes, tents, torch, instruments... the

works. So everyone behave!

The kids are excited as they hear the prize. Immediately they start to
behave. They all eat their dinner relishing it. Surya, the thin kid eats
the most (he is always hungry, eats a lot but it doesn’t show on him).
They all find the food yummy.

KRISHH
Jarnail, sach much bahut achcha hai.
Bilkul chicken ki tarah.

JARNAIL
Arre main to kisi bhi cheez ko chicken
jaisa bana doon. Kaddu ko bhi.

The kids laugh, joke and eat... Only Sumeet sees the plate of food and
quietly puts it all in Surya’s plate. Surya who’s still hungry eats up his
plate too.

Behind them we see Boss and Chaman watching then.

BOSS
Sumeet khana nahin kha raha. Aa gaya!

CHAMAN
Mujhe bhi aa gaya.

BOSS
Tere ko kya aaya Chaman kahin ke?
(Chaman lifts his little finger)
arre susu nahin, mere ko idea aaya hai!

32CAMPFIRE – LATER NIGHT

As the kids gather around the camp fire... Chaman secretly calls out to
Sumeet.

CHAMAN
Hey pss, hey Sumeet.
(sumeet turns and sees him)

SUMEET
Ab aap kaun hain?

CHAMAN
Humein aapke daddy ne bheja hai yeh
dekhne ke liye ki aapko koi takleef na
ho. Humne dekha aapne kuch khaya

37
 38.

nahin. Humare paas chicken hai aapke

liye.

SUMEET
Sach?

CHAMAN
Haan. Lo.
(Sumeet is a bit suspiscious)
arre lo beta. Baaki kisi ko pata chala
hum yahan hain to humein bhaga denge.
Hum aas paas hi hain. Har cheez mein
madad karenge. Lo.

He gives Sumeet a pouch which Sumeet tries to take from his hand.
But Chaman wants the chicken and doesn’t let go easily. Sumeet
begins to pull and finally Chaman lets go of the pouch. Sumeet keeps
it with him.

SUMEET
Main isse tent mein ja kar khaata hoon.

He leaves... Chaman watches the pouch greedily licking his lips... it’s
as if his girlfriend is walking away with another man... Chaman comes
back to Boss and gives a thumbs up sign.

33INT. TENT - NIGHT

The kids move into already pitched tents. Sumeet goes into his tent
and is about to eat his dinner when he hears Komal’s whistle blowing.

SUMEET
Arre yaar iski whistle to...

He hides the food under the bed and moves away. As he leaves we
see a monkey enters the tent. It sees the pouch, tears it opens and
starts eating.

LATER... Chaman enters wearing a cape. He sees that the pouch is

empty and someone is sleeping under the bed sheets. Quickly he
wraps the whole bedding and takes it away.

As he’s moving away Jarnail sees him and presumes it’s Bhagwaan
(Chaman hides his face in the bedding).

JARNAIL
Arre yeh bedding kaha le ja rahe ho
Bhagwaan?

38
 39.

CHAMAN CHANGES HIS VOICE

Sukhane.

JARNAIL
Hain? Raat ko sukhane? Aur teri awwaz
ko kya hua?

BHAGWAAN
Voh gala kharaab hai.

JARNAIL
To main dawayi lata hoon. Rukna yahin
par.

But Chaman leaves hurriedly. Chaman takes the bedding to Boss.

BOSS
Yeh hui na baat. Very good chaman.

They un-roll the bedding and from it emerges the angry drugged up
monkey that pounces on them. They begin to shout and run. The
monkey is stuck to Chaman’s face and he runs around mad. Jarnail
sees him...

JARNAIL
Arre baap re paagal bandar. Main aa
raha hoon bhagwaan. Main bachata
hoon.

But Chaman runs into the jungle with the monkey. Jarnail too follows
but looses him in the dark.

JARNAIL
Kahan gaya?

34AT THE CAMPFIRE - NIGHT

AT THE CAMP... Jarnail runs back and sees Bhagwaan there doing
some work. Jarnail runs to him, Komal is there too.

JARNAIL
Hey Bhagwaan, tu theek to hai na?

BHAGWAAN
Kyun kya hua mujhe?

JARNAIL
Bandar ne kata to nahin? Kahan kata?
Main dawa laga deta hoon. Aur tera gala
bhi kharaab tha na? Dawai doon?

39
 40.

BHAGWAAN
Bandar ne kata? Gala kharaab hai?

KOMAL
Kya hua Jarnail? Yeh sab kya bol rahe
ho?

JARNAIL
Arre main dekha. Bhagwaan Bandar le
ladh raha tha, aur iska gala bhi kharaab
hai.

BAGWAAN
Main kyun bandar le ladoonga? Bandar
se bhi koi ladta hai kya?

JARNAIL
Kya bol raha hai tu? Maine...

KOMAL (WHISTLES LOUDLY)

Jarnail! Kya anaap shanaap bake ja rahe
ho. Chalo walk alone karna hai. Dono
ready ho jao apne costumes nikaal kar.
Main bachchon ko laati hoon.

35EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT

IN THE JUNGLE. Boss has got scratch marks and Chaman applies some
medicine on his own wounds.

BOSS (CONTROLLING HIS TEMPER)

Samajh nahin aata bandar ko kaise
pakad laaya! Chaman kahin ka.

CHAMAN
Sorry boss.

36EXT. WALK-ALONE/JUNGLE - NIGHT

The kids stand facing Komal who briefs them.

KOMAL
Ab sone se pehle hum ek chota sa kaam
karenge. Koi khane ke baad night walk
pe jata hai?

NEHA
Main jaati hoon madam, apne dadaji ke
saath.

40
 41.

KOMAL
Aur koi?
(some kids raise their hands)
great, to aaj hum bhi night walk pe
jayenge, bas difference yeh hai ki hum
akele jayenge. Ek ek kar ke. Yahan se...
(she points)

SURYA
Nahin madam, mujhe nahin jana. Neend
aa rahi hai.

KOMAL
Nahin sabko jana hoga. It’s compulsory.
Aur voh iss liye ki tum sab ka darr
khatam ho. So who’ll go first?

VIKRAM
Main jaaoonga madam!

KOMAL
Nahin, sabse pehle jayegi Neha. She’s a
brave young girl. Neha tum tayiyaar ho?

NEHA (GULPS)
Yes madam.

Neha goes in first. She walks through the dark tree.

Various shots of her walking in alone. She can here the night sounds of
the jungle. She has her handycam on nightvision and shoots. But she’s
really scared and starts to talk to herself.

NEHA
Darne ki koi baat hi nahin? Tu kyun darr
rahi hai Neha. Night walk pe to roz hi
jaati hai. Darne ki koi baat hi nahin?
Darne ki koi baat hi nahin? Darne ki koi
baat hi nahin!
(And just then out of the tree step out
Jarnail and Bhagwaan wearing white
sheets)
DARNE KI BAAT HAI!

Neha gives a scream and runs away...

BACK ON KOMAL... AS THE KIDS HERE THE SCREAMS.

SURYA
Yeh kaun chilaya.

41
 42.

KOMAL
Kuch nahin hai. Jenny you’re next.

Jenny comes next casually chewing bubble gum. Jarnail is wrapped in

a bed sheet and making odd sounds standing right in front of her but
Jenny is not scared.

JENNY
Excuse me.

She gently pushes him aside and continues to walk. Jarnail is surprised
to see that his scare tactics are not working on Jenny.

CUT TO:

NEXT TO COME IS VIKRAM... as Jarnail tries to scare him Vikram

attacks him and beats Jarnail up. Jarnail runs away Vikram follows.

CUT TO:

NEXT... It’s Sumeet’s turn.

Jarnail and Bhagwaan are supposed to wear a bed sheet and scare
him. Jarnail hides under a sheet when we see a third guy comes
wearing a bed sheet.

Sumeet comes walking. He sees the people wearing bedsheets.

SUMEET (TO HIMSELF)

Achcha mere ko daraoge? Dikhata hoon.

Instead of taking the designated path he turns and takes a short cut.

Meanwhile... we see Chaman too is waiting with a bedsheet to kidnap

Sumeet. He gets bored waiting and removes his bedsheet.

CHAMAN
Kahan gaya yeh ladka?

He starts to walk down the path looking for Sumeet. In the darkness
Boss, also wearing a sheet, sees someone coming down the path.

BOSS
Aa gaya lagta hai.

He takes his own bedsheet and jumps and kidnaps the struggling
figure. Boss hits the person’s head and makes him faint. Boss drags
the figure to the side.

BOSS
Yeh itna bada kaise ho gaya?

42
 43.

He removes the bed sheet and sees he has kidnapped Chaman!!!!

BOSS
Tu? Chaman kahin ka!

CHAMAN
Sorry boss.

Just then Sumeet walks up whistling casually.

BOSS
Chup. Voh dekh sach much aa gaya.

They are about to jump and kidnap him when they hear the growl of a
leopard! They turn and see – a leopard is walking towards them
through the darkness.

CHAMAN TREMBLING
Ttttt... tt... tt... tendua!

BOSS
Ttt... tendua nahin Chetah hai.

CHAMAN
Ttttt... Tendua hai boss!

BOSS
ccccc... cheetah hai. Bbbbb... boss kaun
hai?

CHAMAN
Aaaaa... aap ho. To ab kya plan hai
bbbboooosss?

BOSS
Ppppp... plan hai... bbbbbhaagoooo!!!!

Chaman and Boss quickly run away scared.

But we see it’s just Jarnail using the sound equipment to make the
leopard growling sound. While bhagwaan is wearing a leopard
costume to scare Sumeet.

Sumeet sees the leopard coming towards him.

SUMMET LOUDLY
Hey Bhagwaan!

LEOPARD
Haan ji?

43
 44.

SUMEET LAUGHS
Mujhe pata hai tu hi hai bhagwaan!

Jarnail walks up and removes his bedsheet.

JARNAIL
App kaise ho Sumeet, aapko darr nahin
lagta?

SUMEET
Aisi bachchon wali cheezon se nahin
darta main. Mujhe pata hai yeh ek faaltu
ka camp hai jahan koi khatra nahin. Aur
jahan koi khatra nahin, wahan koi darr
nahin. Good night.

Jarnail and Bhagwaan watch him go.

37EXT. CAMP - NIGHT

The mkids return after the walk alone. They are chatting excitedly.

NEHA
Main do darr ke bhaag hi gayi.

SURYA
Maza aaya na? kal phir karenge.

KOMAL
So kids maza aaya?

KIDS
yesssssss

KOMAL
Ab tum daroge to nahin?

KIDS
Noooo...

KOMAL
Good... Ok now good slight. Sleep tight
and don’t let the bed bugs bite!

KIDS
Good night madam!

KOMAL
See you all at 6 in the morning. Aur yaad
rakhna alarm hogi meri seeti!

44
 45.

38FAST FORWARD

The stars in the sky dissolve as the sun rises and a new day begins.

A loud whistle is heard!

39EXT. CAMP – EARLY MORNING

Komal, ready and fresh as ever, stands with Jarnail and Bhagwaan. She
whistles loudly. One by the kids come out yawning. Krishh walks up
half asleep and continues walking till someone stops him and he
stands swaying and listens.

KOMAL
Good morning everyone.

EVERYONE
Good morning madam.

KOMAL
Aaj hum bahut hi masti karenge! So get
ready, have breakfast, aur phir ek
surprise!

Everyone moves away...

40EXT. JUNGLE TREK - DAY

The kids are starting to trek. As they walk... we see Boss and Chaman
are fast asleep curled up in each other’s arms in the jungle. Suddenly
boss wakes up on hearing footsteps. Chaman still snores.

BOSS
Ehh chal uth.

CHAMAN
Chaaye le ke aa, uthta hoon main.

Boss shakes Chaman and he gets up.

BOSS
Mauka hai mauka! Chal!

Quckly the two get up.

45
 46.

41EXT. JUNGLE TERKS - DAY

The kids are trekking. Chaman and boss huff and puff and follow. At
one point they see Sumeet lagging behind. Chaman puts chloroform
on his hanky and puts it in his pants.

BOSS
Jaldi ja jaldi, mauka hai.

CHAMAN TIRED AND SLEEPY

Main kyun boss, iss baar aap jao na.

BOSS
Boss kaun hai?

CHAMAN
Aap ho boss. Main hi jata hoon.

Chaman sadly walks behind Sumeet.

But everytime he comes close to Sumeet either Sumeet increases his

speed or Sumeet isn’t alone. Finally Chaman is getting very tired and
sweating.

He gasps for air and stops. He reaches into his pant, takes out a hanky
and forgetting about what is on it he wipes his face and faints.
Everything goes out of focus

FADE OUT

FADE IN

Boss IS SLAPPING THE camera. The camera slowly goes into focus and
sees Boss from Chaman’s POV. Chaman slowly sits up. Now we see
that boss is pulling up Chaman and pours some water from his bottle
on him.

BOSS
Utthh. So raha hai tu! Chaman kahin ke!
So kyun raha hai? Bata.

CHAMAN
Main, mmmm... Mujhe kuch yaad nahin,
main thak gaya tha, maine rumaal nikala
aise paseena pochne ke liye aur main...
phir kuch yaad nahin.

BOSS
Aabey cholroform laga tha rumaal main.
Chaman kahin ke!

46
 47.

CHAMAN
Sorry boss.

BOSS
Chal uth, unke peeche chalna hai.

Chaman quickly gets up and picks his hanky.

CHAMAN
Aapne bilkul geela kar diya boss.

Chaman starts to wipe his hands and then forgetting he wipes his face
and smells the hanky again and faints. Boss has his head in his hands.

BOSS (ANGRY, SHOUTS)

Hey bhagwaan!

ON BHAGWAAN... Somewhere else Bhagwaan is walking with the kids

when he hears the cry.

BHAGWAAN
Hain, kisne bulaya mujhe, kisne bulaya?

But there’s one calling him. Bhagwaan scratches his head...

42EXT. CAMP/JUNGLE - DAY

Komal stands in front of kids who are wearing red and yellow overalls.

KOMAL
Ab hum sabse exiting game khelenge.
Maine tumhein do teams mein divide kar
diya hai. Red and Yellow! Aur hum ek
karenge shootout! Dekhte hain jeetta
kaun hai.

SURYA (SCARED)
Shootout?

Everyone is handed small airguns. They look at the guns excitedly.

KOMAL
Rules simple hain - ek baar goli lag gayi
you are out of the game. Vikram tum
apni team ko iss taraf le jao aur Neha
tum iss taraf. And let the war begin.

CUT TO:

47
 48.

ON Vikram who’s very serious and behaves like a soldier. He hides

behind trees and jumps out to shoot at the opposing team hitting their
soliders with perfect aim.

ON Sudipto as he sees various birds and animals and hits them instead
with yellow paintballs. Neha sees this.

NEHA
Sudipto masti mat karo. Koi tumhein
maar dega.

SUDIPTO SMILES
Arre mujhe kuch nahin hoga. I am
focussed... sab tarah nazar hai meri.
Mere koi nahin maar...

And just then a shot hits his chest. Surya has fired and hit him. Neha
hides behind a tree.

SURYA
You are dead!!!

Surya starts doing a dance excitedly and Sudipto fumes in anger.

Suddenly Neha jumps out from behind a tree and shoots Surya on his
chest.

NEHA
You are dead too!

Neha runs off to shoot more people and Sudipto laughs at Surya. Now
Surya fumes and starts firing at Sudipto who fires back. Both start
laughing.

Meanwhile ON JENNY... as she hides behind a tree and looks out. She
sees someone coming near her from the bushes. She sees the figure
coming closer. She crouches down below and waits. As the figure
comes real close she jumps out of the tree and raises her gun to shoot.
But she sees it’s Krishh who too has his gun on her.

Both have their guns on each other, who will shoot first! There’s a
stand off like western films. Suddenly Jenny smiles and looks at
Krishh’s zip.

JENNY
Letterbox!

Krishh immediately lowers his gun to check his zip and sees that it’s
closed. He looks up alarmed and sees Jenny smiling at him. She has
fooled him.

48
 49.

JENNY (LAUGHING)
Everything’s fair in love and war.
(saying this she shoots Krishh on his
chest)
you are dead.

KRISHH
Ohhh no...
(Jenny looks at him, he smiles)
and what is this? Love or war?

Jenny runs away laughing. Krishh shakes his head.

Meanwhile ON SUMEET as he sits under a tree playing a video game.

Suddenly he hears a twig crack.

Quickly he picks up his gun. He turns around and sees Chaman and
Boss hiding in a bush. Suddenly they jump out at him... trying to catch
him but...

SLOW MOTION... Sumeet sees them running towards him and shoots
them like dogs. BAM BAM BAM... Chaman and Boss are hit in their
chest with paint shots that burst out. The two shake in slow motion
like goondas in Bollywood films and fall down like dead extras. Sumeet
walks up to them and blasts with paints. They are coloured all over.
Sumeet walks away laughing

SUMEET
Not a bad game!

Boss and Chaman lie there.

CHAMAN
Boss hum zinda hain? Usne humein goli
se chalni kar diya!

BOSS
Nakli goliyan thin voh.

CHAMAN
Boss. Mujhe maza nahin lag raha.
Kidnapping mein voh baat nahin hai.

BOSS
Sach keh raha hai tu. Chal uthh ab
USSKO CHODENGE NAHIN.

49
 50.

CHAMAN
Pehle pakad to lein!
(Boss stares at him hard)
sorry boss.

CUT TO:

Later... the two are hiding in the bushes and trying to get their breath
back when some red ants begin to climb over them and they feel itchy
all over.

CHAMAN
Boss cheenti!

BOSS
Cheenti?

CHAMAN
Haan cheenti!

BOSS (FEELS RED ANTS OVER HIM)

Cheenti? Cheenti? CHEENTI!CHEENTI!

And suddenly they begin to itch wildly. It seems like they are doing
some wild dance. They run towards the camp.

43EXT. CAMP/KITCHEN - DAY

AT THE CAMP... Jarnail is cooking lunch when he sees the two coloured
men dancing wildly coming towards him and he begins to tremble
thinking that they are some weird tribals.

BOSS AND CHAMAN

Cheenti, Cheenti, Cheenti, Cheenti
Cheenti.

Jarnail thinks they are attacking him. He runs and begins to shout
loudly.

JARNAIL
Aadamkhor aadivasi

Chaman and Boss too run in the same direction and Jarnail feels that
they are following him. But they run in a different direction.

44INT. JUNGLE - DAY

He runs to the others who have finished their game. Vikram’s team
has won. Surya, Vikram and Jenny are doing hi fives. Jarnail runs up
alarmed.

50
 51.

KOMAL
Kya hua Jarnail? Iss time pe jogging kyun
kar rahe ho?

JARNAIL
Voh wahan, cheentiwasi. Cheentiwasi.

KOMAL
Cheentiwasi?

JARNAIL
Haan aadamkhor adivasi, Cheentiwasi!
Voh mujhe khaana chate they, aur dance
bhi kar rahe they. Keh rahe they hum
Cheentiwasi hain, Cheentiwasi!

LONG SHOT – Jarnail doing a crazy scratchy dance and showing what
the adivasis were doing. The kids laugh. They turn to look behind him
but Boss and Chaman have taken a different path and are somewhere
else.

KOMAL
Stop talking nonsense, agar tumhare
peeche hain to kahan gaye?

JARNAIL
Voh aapko dekh kar bhaag gaye honge.
Bhagwaan ko pata hai hum sach keh
rahe hain.

BHAGWAAN
Arre mere ko nahin pata. Main to idhar
tha.

JARNAIL
Main oopar wale bhagwaan ki baat kar
raha hoon. Yahaan hamare saath koi aur
bhi hai.

Jarnail looks around scared. The kids too seem scared and a few of
them huddle together.

KOMAL
Jarnail sabko darao mat. Hum iske baare
mein baad mein baat karte hain.

Jarnail walks away, everyone looks at him.

SURYA
Main usse baat karta hoon

51
 52.

Surya walks behind Jarnail. He walks up to him and begins talking to

him. Jarnail listens and we see everyone else watches. Surya is
explaining seriously. Jarnail smiles and turns to everyone.

JARNAIL
Main samajh gaya. Jo maine dekha voh
mera waham tha. Surya ji ne bola,
kya... Haan voh hallucination tha. Ab
main nahin daroonga aur koi dikha to
usse baat karne ki koshish karoonga.
Aap sab camp chalo main khana lagata
hoon. Aaj maine kaddu banaya hai!

SURYA
Kaddu? Yum yum!

45EXT. CAMP/KITCHEN - DAY

Jarnail has cooked and is about to take everything to the table... when
a vegetable in his hand falls and rolls away towards the trees. He
walks towards the trees and just then he hears ahh ahhh coming from
somewhere inside the jungle.

He walks deeper in... and deeper and deeper till he comes across Boss
and Chaman who are in the jungle. Chaman is rubbing himself against
a tree and is very pleased and saying ahhh as it reduces his itching
(remember they were bitten by ants).

Boss too starts rubbing himself against a tree. Both are enjoying
themselves immensely as the itching is gone.

Jarnail sees them and quickly turns back and runs. He reaches the
camp and then slowly walks to a tree.

JARNAIL
Kya kar rahe they mere haa... haa...
haalucination?
(walks to the tree and starts rubbing
himself)
aaahhh, maza to aata hai!

Just then Komal and kids walk up. Jarnail quickly gets back to work.
Some kids giggle.

46SERIES OF SHOTS: MAYBE WITH THE THEME SONG IN THE BACKGROUND

- Kids are involved in more activities… Burma bridge, etc etc. the
kidnappers are about jump Sumeet when someone or the other walks
up.

52
 53.

- Kids surround Komal as she tells them about map reading, following
trails. The kidnappers wait and Chaman almost falls asleep.

- TIME LAPSE... NIGHT... It’s dark all around... camp fire... Komal
shows the kids how to light fire using two sticks. Kids light fires and
are excited.

47EXT. CAMPFIRE - NIGHT

Sudipto is telling a scary story and all kids listen.

SUDIPTO
Actually mujhe iss jagah ke baare mein
kaafi pata hai. Google kiya tha maine.
Aur pata hai kya pata chala? Yeh ek
tribal belt hai jahan hazaron tribals dafn
hain! Locals ne kayi baar un tribals ke
bhooton ko apne aas paas mehsoon kiya
hai. Aur raat ko chandrma ki roshni
mein, kabhi-kabhi hum unn aatmaon ko
chalte phirte hue dekh bhi sakte hain.
Voh akele aadmi ki talaash kar rahe hote
hain taaki unko lapete mein le kar unpar
chad kar voh baaki sab ko
(indicates cutting of neck)
dekhne mein normal hi hote hain magar
unke paair!

SURYA
Kya hota hai unke pairon ko?

SUMEET
Unke pair mein se smell aati hai!
(some kids giggle)

SUDIPTO
Arre nahin yaar. Unke paair ulte hote
hain! Peeche ki aur.

SURYA (SCARED/AMAZED)
Nahin!

SUDIPTO
Haan!

KOMAL (SEES KIDS ARE SCARED)

Chalo, bhoot ki stories bahut ho gayin.
Ab ek talent show ho jaaye. Kaun
Banega Camp Ka Idol! One by one hum

53
 54.

sabka talent dekhenge. What says you

kids?

KIDS
Yayyyy...

CAMP SONG. Where kids do what they can...

48EXT. CAMP - NIGHT

The kids are sleeping. We hear the hooting of owls. The stars shine in
the sky. Everything is still. Only... we see two bushes sway in a non-
existent wind.

We focus on the bushes and we see that one of them starts to move
ever so slightly. The other bush too moves

The two bushes start to slide towards a nearby tent... The two start to
come closer and closer and closer to the tent.

And suddenly we see Jarnail gets up. His eyes are still closed and he’s
almost asleep but still moving. He comes close to one of the bushes
opens his zip and starts pee on it.

IN THE BUSH we see it’s not a bush but Chaman holding a cut bush in
front of him.

He starts to feel the pee all over him and suddenly slides a few feet to
the left. Jarnail sees the bush moving away and he too follows still half
asleep. He begins to pee on the bush again.

Chaman moves again and Jarnail follows. He moves left, Jarinal pees to
the left. He moves right, Jarnail moves to his right. Finally Chaman
drops the bush and runs away. Jarnail sees only the bush falling and is
surprised. Just then Bhagwaan too walks up...

JARNAIL
Dekha tune bhagwaan? Dekha? Maine
iss jhaad per susu ki aur yeh mar gayi!

BHAGWAAN
Hain?

Bhagwaan goes to the second bush and but before he can do anything
we see Boss too slides away and the bush falls down... Bhagwaan too
is stunned...

BHAGWAAN
Yeh to karne se pehle hi marr gayi!

54
 55.

49IN THE FORREST

Boss and Chaman meet in the darkness.

CHAMAN
Ab man jhaad mein kabhi nahin
chupunga.
(Boss smells Chaman, makes a face)
pichle do dinon mein meri saanp se
ladayi hui hai, pehle nakli, phir asli. Ek
bathroom saaf kiya, mere oopar susu
hui, ek bandar se ladayi hui, laal chitiyon
ne kaata, mujhe rang ki goliyan lagien,
do baar behosh hua, aur ek baar aapne
bhi mujhe kidnap kiya. Mujhe yeh
apahran karne mein bilkul maza nahin
lag raha.

He begins to sob and a few tears come out.

BOSS
Sab theek ho jayega, aaj raat hum usse
utha lenge aur phir rokda hi rokda!

He hands over a hanky to Chaman to wipe his tears. Chaman wipes his
tears and then smells the hanky. He’s about to faint when...

BOSS
Yeh voh rumaan nahin hai.

Chaman realizes and doesn’t faint.

LATER... the two kidnappers have almost gone off to sleep. They are
close to each other when a noise wakes the two up.

The two get up and start to walk up to Sumeet’s tent. We see Jarnail
sleeping just near them. They have to cross him and Jarnail is having a
nightmare.

As Chaman walks, his foot falls on a something and it makes a noise.

Jarnail slowly opens his eyes and sees Boss.

Boss sees that he has been seen. Jarnail asks him

JARNAIL
Tum kaun ho?

Boss starts to move/sway to give a feeling that he is swaying in the

wind.

55
 56.

BOSS
Main bhoot hoon! Bhoot!

JARNAIL
Ohh, phir theek hai, good night.

BOSS (ACCIDENTALLY)
Good night.

Jarnail turns sideways to sleep once again and suddenly opens his
eyes!

JARNAIL
Kya? Bhoot?

He spins around to see but by now Boss and Chaman are again hiding
in the nearby bushes. Jarnail wakes up and looks all around.

JARNAIL
Sapna dekha hoga.

He gets up and again goes to the nearby bush to pee... we see

Chaman hiding in the bush... as water begins to fall on him again.

LATER... Chaman is very angrily wiping himself.

BOSS
Yeh General Singh, yeh har baar apni
taang ada deta hai, iska main kuch karta
hoon.

Boss goes to a white bedsheet and slowly pulls it off then he hangs the
white bed sheet on a pole next to Jarnail. He takes a pebble and hits
Jarnail. Jarnail wakes up suddenly and see the bedsheet swaying in the
wind in front of him.

JARNAIL (SHOUTING)
bhoot bhoot
(attacks the bedsheet)

Other people run up. Surya sees Jarnail attacking the bedsheet. Komal
walks up...

KOMAL
Jarnail yeh kya ho gaya hai tumhein?
Bedsheet se kyun lad rahe ho?

JARNAIL
Bbbbbbhoot... yahan bhoot hai.

56
 57.

KOMAL
Kahaan hai bhoot?

Jarnail has the bedsheet in his hand and looks around.

KOMAL
Tumhare darr aur veham ke siwaye
yahan kuch nahin. Ab kisi ko phir jagaya
na, to main tumhein wapas bhej doogi, I
swear. Chalo everyone, back to sleep.

The kids turn to go back... Surya walks up to Jarnail

SURYA
Yaad rakho Jarnail, koi nahin hai.
Haalucination, hai. Dekho hi mat unki
taraf. Ok?

Jarnail nods.

LATER... Everyone goes to sleep again. Kidnappers creep up to

Sumeet’s tent Jarnail wakes up again. He sees them and then goes
back to sleep.

JARNAIL
Tum asli nahin ho.

He begins to snore again. Boss sees the bag next to Jarnail and steals
it.

BOSS (TO CHAMAN)

Jo mile haath saaf kar le.

Chaman steals the bag with the mobile phones and other valuables
too. They are about to approach Sumeet’s tent when they see Sumeet
coming out to pee.

Quietly they stand behind him. When he completes and turns to go

back to the tent...

He sees the two. Sumeet looks at them surprised and is about to say
something when... when they pounce on him...

He manages to let off a scream before they grab his face and tape it.
Hearing the scream Jarnail’s eyes snap open. He turns to look sleepily
around him and just as he’s about to see Sumeet... Sumeet is pulled
away by the two. All he sees is the shaking bushes. Jarnail scratches
his head.

MEANWHILE the two kidnappers lift Sumeet and heave him away...
taking the other loot with them.

57
 58.

Jarnail sits there seeing the shaking bushes.

But Sumeet’s scream has woken up the camp. The first to wake up is
Komal as she rushes to Jarnail. The others too wake up unhappily and
walk up.

KOMAL
Arre, ab kyun chillaye Jarnail?

JARNAIL
Main kahan chillaya? Maine bhi kisi ki
cheekh suni aur uth ke dekha to jhaad
aise aise hil rahi thi.

VIKRAM
Kya? Jhaad hil rahi thi?

JARNAIL
Haan aur thodi der pehle to yeh chal phir
bhi rahi thi. Jaise night walk pe nikli hon.
Main kehta hoon madam jhaad mein
kuch kala hai, mera matlab daal mein
kuch jhaad hai, matlab daal mein kuch
kala hai, aur jhaad mein...

KOMAL
Shut up Jarnail, tumhein main subah
dekhti hoon. Chalo sab, for one final time
- goodnight.

They all go to bed cursing Jarnail for waking them up.

50IN THE JUNGLE – ALMOST MORNING

The kidnappers are running with their hostage. They run like mad not
knowing where they are.

BOSS
Ruko ruko...

The two stop and put Sumeet on his feet. They’re exhausted and sit
down to rest.

CHAMAN
Bahut bhaari bachcha hai bhai.

BOSS
Isse ab uthane ki koi zaroorat nahin, ab
isse khud chalne do.

58
 59.

Sumeet is trying to desperately free himself but we see even his hands
are tied and his face taped. He struggles and struggles and fights and
then gives up and lies back panting.

BOSS ASKS SUMEET

Ho gaya? Kar li mehnat?
(Sumeet lies there, all the fight gone out
of him)
chalo ab.
(but Sumeet doesn’t budge)

Chaman pushes Sumeet and Sumeet attacks back kicking but Chaman
holds him and snaps his knife open.

BOSS (SCARY)
Chaman, chaku ki dhaar to dikha zara
munne ko. Laadle ko! Aankhon ka tara,
aaj katega bechara!

Chaman put the knife on Sumeet’s face and is about to make a cut
when Sumeet shakes his head gesturing he will walk.

BOSS
Bahut samjhdaar hai, chal ab.

CHAMAN
Magar kis taraf?

The two look around and together the two point in exactly opposite
directions.

BOSS AND CHAMAN

Is taraf chalte hain!

They see that both are pointing in opposite directions.

BOSS ASKS CHAMAN

Boss kaun hai?

CHAMAN
Aap ho boss.

BOSS (SARCASTIC)
To kaun yeh nirnay lega ki hum kisi
disha mein prasthan karenge?
(Chaman points towards him)
to chalo ab.

The three begin walking. Sumeet begins walking in between the two,
but not very co-operatively… Chaman holds him and keeps pushing
him…

59
 60.

51BACK IN THE CAMP - MORNING

The kids are sleeping. Krishh is sleeping soundly snoring when

suddenly we hear Komal’s loud whistle. And instantly Krishh wakes up.

The kids slowly wake up and come out of their tents. Massaging their
ears. Komal smiles at them.

KOMAL
Good morning everyone.

KIDS (SLEEPILY)
Good morning.

Komal takes out her list and takes attendance. She takes the kids
names and they say present. She reaches Summet and no one
answers.

KOMAL
Sumeet, late as usual.

Komal enters Sumeet’s tent and blows the whistle but there’s no one
there.

VIKRAM
Aas paas hi hoga.

KOMAL
Doondho usse.

The kids move away to look around.

52ON BOSS AND CHAMAN

The three are walking. Chaman looks around.

CHAMAN
Aate waqt maine voh wala pedh to nahin
dekha tha! Mujhe lagta hai hum kho
gaye hain boss.

BOSS
Kya bolta hai tu Chaman. Saare pedh to
ek jaise lagte hain.

CHAMAN
Log to Chinese logon ke baare mein bhi
yehi kehte hain. Magar hote to alag alag
hi hain na. Waise hi main pedh ko
pehchaan jata hoon. Yeh pedh nahin

60
 61.

dikha tha pehle, aur hum kho gaye hain,

pakka!

BOSS
Boss kaun hai?

CHAMAN
Aap ho.

BOSS
To suno beta Chaman, hum khoye nahin
hain, bas thoda idhar udhar ho gaye
hain. Chal abhi...

They continue to walk.

53IN THE CAMP – SAME TIME

Bhagwaan and even Jarnail have been searching for Sumeet. The
other kids are having tea and enjoying and chatting.

Bhawaan walks up to Komal

BHAGWAAN
Sumeet nahin mil raha.

KOMAL
Kya!

VIKRAM
Kahin voh baag to nahin gaya? Usko
camp pasand to tha nahin. Ho sakta hai
raat ko nikal liya ho?

KOMAL
Nahin gaya hota to saaman le ke jata.
Uske shoes abhi bhi yahin hai.

JENNY CALLS OUT

Hey guys, yeh dekho.

Komal walks up to the bushes and they find something fallen from
Sumeet’s pocket.

KOMAL
Yeh to sumeet ka hai! Kuch to gadbad
hai!

NEHA REMEMBERS THE SCREAM.

Voh cheekh... raat ko?

61
 62.

KRISHH
Kahin voh Jarnail ki jagah Sumeet ki
cheekh to nahin thi? To matlab Jarnail
sach keh raha tha! Usne dekha kisi ko
yahan pe!

54AT THE CAMP KITCHEN

Everyone goes to Jarnail who is angrily cutting vegetables and is a bit

cross with everyone.

KOMAL
Jarnail batao tumne kya kya dekha.

Jarnail doesn’t reply.

NEHA
Jarnail, Sumeet gayab hai!.

JARNAIL WORRIED
Kya? To matlab... jo humne dekha...

KOMAL
Tum humein poori baat batao.

SURYA
Aur agar unki shakal dekhi hai to mujhe
batao, main sketch kar sakta hoon.

INTERCUT WITH

The kidnappers walking.

We just see and don’t hear Jarnail as he describes the two people he
saw.

LATER ... Surya has sketched. Seeing the sketch Neha remembers.

NEHA
In dono ko to maine dekha hai.

Quickly she brings her handycam and rewinds till they see the faces of
the two.

JARNAIL RECOGNIZES
Arre ab full pehchaan mein aa rahe hain.
Iss aadmi ko to main dhaabe mein bhi
dekha tha, bathroom mein.. yeh... yeh
summet ka hi intezaar kar raha tha.

62
 63.

SUDIPTO
Aur yeh red light pe bike pe bhi they.

KOMAL
Matlab, yeh to hamara Mumbai se
peecha kar rahein hain! Inhone hi
Sumeet ko...

VIKRAM
Magar Sumeet hi kyun?

NEHA
Uske dad ke baare mein pata hai?

JENNY
Matlab kidnapping?

Everyone’s shocked.

KOMAL (TO JARNAIL)

mobile phone lao.

55SUPPLY TENT

Jarnail goes to the Tent where the supplies were. HE LOOKS at the
place where the bag was hidden but it’s gone!

BACK OUTSIDE... Jarnail goes out...

JARNAIL
Sab gaayab hai. Voh sab utha le gaye.
Mobile aur baaki sab kuch.

KOMAL
Phir to pakka hai. Kidnapping aur chori
bhi!
(thinking quickly)
Jarnail kuch bachon ko saath le kar bus
pe jao aur police ko le ke aao. Tab tak
hum aas paas dekhte hain.

56IN THE BUS - LATER

Jarnail goes to the bus and tries to start it but fails. He walks and
opens the bus engine.

JARNAIL SCREAMS
Mera carburator kidhar gaya!

63
 64.

57IN THE JUNGLE – SAME TIME

Boss carries the carburator in his bag.

CHAMAN
Boss, iss purje ko phenk kyun nahin
dete?

BOSS
Jab wapas pahunchenge to isse bus mein
laga kar unki bus le kar udanchoo ho
lenge. Aur unhin ki bus mein iss ladke ko
chupa ke rakhenge jab tak rokda nahin
milta.

Chaman looks at Boss as if he’s God.

CHAMAN
Boss, aap sach much boss ho. Jai ho
aapki.

By now they come to a granite pebbled path where Sumeet realises

that footprints won’t be seen. He sits down not being able to breathe.

CHAMAN
Ab kya hua chokre?

Sumeet gestures open my mouth.

Chaman does so and Sumeet gasps for breath

SUMEET
Itni der chale ja rahein hain. Ab saans
nahin aa rahi. Mera moonh khol ke
rakho.

BOSS
Chal, theek hai. Khula rehne do...

Boss allows him to go without the tape on his mouth. All of them sit
down. Sumeet loosens his lace with one foot.

SUMEET
Ab haath bhi khol do, laces tie karne
hain.

Chaman nods and opens his hands... The sky is slowly brightening…

Sumeet bends down and starts to tie his laces. He sees that Both
Chaman and Boss are looking somewhere else and their eyes are not
on him.

64
 65.

Quickly he takes out his purse and slips a 10 rupee note under a rock.
Then he takes out all the change he has in his purse and holds them in
his fist. He also takes out a piece of paper and tears it up and holds in
his fist. Just then Chaman turns around and sees Sumeet’s purse.

He walks up and quickly grabs Sumeet’s purse. He looks and sees it’s
full of 1000 rupees notes. There must be 20,30 thousand. Boss too
turns and sees the money. Both the kidnappers are happy.

CHAMAN
Baap re, itna maal!

They turn to Sumeet and see the rings on his fingers. They take
everything.

SUMEET
Ho tum dono faltu ke chindi chor hi.

CHAMAN
Hum chindi chor hi nahin, kidnappers bhi
hain.

BOSS
Aur kaatil bhi!

CHAMAN
Haan kaatil to main chota sa tha tab se
banna chahta tha!
(dreamily)
Aaa haa haa... taaze taaze murde ka
garab garam khoon! Kitna maza aata hai
na?

BOSS
Sach. Chalo ab...

They begin to walk. Sumeet co–operates and begins to walk after

them.

As he walks he sees Boss keeps the money and valuables in the

mobile bag.

As they walk we see Sumeet drops a coin from his fist. He’s leaving a
train of coins behind in case someone follows...

58AT THE CAMP...

Jarnail returns

65
 66.

JARNAIL
Arre kisi ne hamari Rampyaari ka
caruburator hi uda liya. Uske bina to voh
dabba ban gayi hai.

KOMAL
Sab un kidnappers ka kaam hai!

NEHA
Maltab bus nahin, mobiles nahin, aur
police ko alert karne ka koi tareeka bhi
nahin.

SURYA
Matlab, ab kya karien?

KOMAL
Ab tab to pata nahin kahaan pahunch
gaye honge.

JARNAIL
Nahin madam maine dekha unki bike bhi
wahin padi thi. Unke paas bhi gaadi
nahin.

KOMAL
To phir hum unhein pakad sakte hain.
Jarnail, tum yahan bachchon ke saath
raho, mein unke peeche jaati hoon.

VIKRAM
Madam hum bhi saath chalenge. We can
help.

KOMAL
Nahin tum idhar hi raho. It may be
dangerous for kids.

JENNY
Kids? What about young adults? Ab kuch
karne ka mauka hai to hum phir bachche
ban gaye?

NEHA
Yes madam, hum bhi help kar sakte
hain.

SUDIPTO
Voh do hain, to hum dus hain. Mil kar
unke chakke chuda denge.

66
 67.

KRISHH
Haan, Sumeet mujhe achcha nahin lagta.
Magar kidnappers... unki himmat,
hamare camp mein aa kar usse utha le
gaye! Unko chodoonga nahin main.

KOMAL (SEES THEY ARE SERIOUS)

Theek hai, let’s not argue. Hum teen
groups mein divide hote hain. Ek group
Jarnail ke saath highway pe jayega aur
kisi car ko rok kar police ko contact
karne ki koshish karega. Doosra group
Bhagwaan ke saath idhar reh kar wait
karega, ho sakta hain Sumeet kisi tarah
se bhaag kar wapas aa jaaye. Aur teesra
group mere saath kidnappers ke peeche
jayega.

VIKRAM
Main aapke saath aaoonga madam.

KOMAL
Theek hai. Aur koi?

Neha, Sudipto slowly walk up to Komal. All the rest of the kids watch
then slowly Jenny, Krishh and Surya too walk up.

SUDIPTO
Arre Krissh aur Surya tum dono idhar hi
raho. Tum dono se nahin hoga yeh.

SURYA (SCARED)
Kyun? Kyun nahin hoga? Main chota
hoon to kuch nahin kar sakta kya? Dil
sabse bada hai. Mauka mila to sabko
dikha doonga.

KRISHH
Haan aur tu kaun hota hai decide karne
wala? Bada boss ban raha hai... shakal
achchi nahin hai, baat to achchi kiya kar!

SUDIPTO
Hey dikhaoon tere ko?

KRISSH
Phod daloonga main.

KOMAL (WHITLES)
Shut up. Both of you. Tum dono ko nahin
le jaaongi main.

67
 68.

SUDIPTO KRISHH
Sorry madam.

Jarnail has brought a bag with him and he opens it and takes out
walkie talkies. He hands over one each to the three groups.

KOMAL
Teenon groups walkie talkie se ek doosre
ke touch mein rahenge. Magar inki ek
range hai, agar uss range ke bahar chale
gaye to koi aur signal use karna hoga.

VIKRAM
Torch use karein? Flashlight?

NEHA
Voh to raat mein hi use kar sakte hain.

KRISHH
Din mein hum mirror use kar sakte
hain... to reflect sunlight.

BHAGWAAN
Aur hamare paas voh patakhe bhi hain jo
hum aone ek game ke liye use karte
hain. Agar koi khatre mein ho to ek
rocket jala de aur door door tak sabko
pata chal jayega. Phir sab uss aur ja kar
walkie talkie se baat kar sakte hain.

KOMAL
Good idea. To sab saaman divide kar lo
aur chalo. We don’t have time.

Long shot - They divide the crackers.

The three groups divide and shake hands.

As one group leaves for the bus, the other group stays back.

59INT. JUNGLE - DAY

KOMAL
Ab hum tracking techniques use
karenge. Kadmon ke nishaan, tooti hui
daaliyan, empty wrappers and packets,
unki smells. Etc. humein bilkul unki tarah
se sochna hoga. Agar hum unki jagah
hote to kya karte.

68
 69.

They go to the bushes which Jarnail had seen shaking and look around.
Surya spots some marks. He sees boots with soles like none they are
wearing and signs of a scuffle.

SURYA
Komal madam yeh dekhiye.

KOMAL
Do bade shoes ke footprints aur ek ladke
ke, aur phir ladke ke footprints gaayab,
na aagey ja rahe hain, aur na peeche.
Magar in dono ke footprints yahan se
aagey ja rahe hain. Iska matlab in dono
mein se kisi ne Sumeet to kandhe pe
uthaya aur le gaye. To phir zyada tez
nahin gaye honge. Come on guys. We
can still catch up.

Their group goes deeper in...

60MONTAGE

They begin tracking the footprints… Komal’s team expertly follows

Sumeet’s tracks. A broken twig here. Footprints there. And they are on
the right track.

They come to a point where the kidnappers took a break. They look
around and Sudipto finds the 10 rupee note.

KOMAL
We’re on the right track! Magar yeh
highway ki jagah galat direction mein ja
rahe hain.

61ON THE OTHER THREE

They are walking and very tired.

BOSS TELLS CHAMAN

Chaman, tu iss ladke ke saath reh. Mujhe
thoda ekaant mein sochna hai.

CHAMAN
Ekaant mein? Aas paas hai kya ekaant?

BOSS
Ekaant matlab akele mein. Chaman
kahin ka.

69
 70.

CHAMAN
Arre yahan to ekaant hi ekaant hai. Aur
ekaant ke saath shaanti bhi hai. Iss liye,
kyun ki hum kho gaye hain.

BOSS
Nahin beta, voh bus idhar hi hogi. Mera
dimaag computer ki tarah hai aur poora
naksha meri aankhon ke saamne hai.

CHAMAN
Boss nakhsha mat maro, baat maan jao.
Kho gaye hain hum.

BOSS
Boss kaun hai?

62SERIES OF SHOTS:

A) Three walk in different directions tired.

B) Just behind them we see Komal and the kids too walk up in the
same direction.

C) The sun is right up in the sky.

D) Shots of birds and animals in the jungle...

Later...

CHAMAN
Boss aap hi ho. Magar maan lo boss.
Hum kho gaye hain.

BOSS HAS LOST CONFIDENCE

Nahin thoda sa idhar udhar ho gaye hain
bas...
(suddenly remembers)
arre ek naksha tha na hamare baste
mein?

Chaman takes out a map and they check it...

CHAMAN
Yeh sadela map kahan se liya?

BOSS
Virar fast mein das rupay ka mil raha
tha.

70
 71.

Both look at the sorry looking map. The two don’t know how to read it
and read it completely wrong. They spread the map and see in it the
highway is on their right so they decide to go to the right.

CHAMAN
Boss, map mein to road iss taraf hai.

BOSS
Haan highway issi taraf hoga. Chalo.

Instead of going towards the road they head towards the interior of the
jungle! The camera moves and we see they were very close to the
road...

INTERCUT WITH Komal and the others on their track.

VIKRAM
Yeh to jungle ke andar hi jaaye ja rahein
hain!

KOMAL
Shaayad kho gaye hain.

SUDIPTO
Ya phir idiots hain.

MATCH CUT TO

Sumeet stops walking.

SUMEET
You bloody idiots. I’m hungry. Aur nahin
chal sakta main.

BOSS
Nahin, abhi hum nahin tham sakte,
chalo.

SUMEET
Nahin, main ek chota sa nanha sa
bachcha hoon. Main behosh ho jaaonga.

BOSS
To ho jao na, koi rok raha hai kya?

CHAMAN
Ruk jaate hain boss. Please.

BOSS
Theek hai.

71
 72.

Boss searches his bag and has to give Sumeet something to eat.
Summet begins to eat and throws the wrapper down.

BOSS
Yeh kya hai? Yeh idhar kyun phenk raha
hai. Tu samajhta hai ki koi isse dekh kar
hamare peehe aa jayega? Chal Chaman,
utha isse.

Chaman picks up Sumeet’s wrapper but idiotically throws his own

wrapper down.

BOSS
Abbey ab isse kyun phenk diya?

CHAMAN
Maga yeh to mera hai.

BOSS
Arre kisi ko thodi pata hai ki tera hai.
Utha isse bhi. Kisi ko dikha to hamare
peech lag jayenge.

CHAMAN
Aisi baat hai to boss, hum isse yahin
phenkte hai aur ulti tarah hi chalte hain.
Agar koi peeche aaya to voh ullu ban
jayega.

BOSS (IMPRESSED)
Tu jitna buddhu dikhta hai utna hai
nahin!

CHAMAN
Aap bhi boss.

Boss now checks Sumeet’s hand.

BOSS
Yeh dekh ladka yeh raste mein giraye ja
raha hai. Isko le ja ke iss taraf gira aur
phir wapas aa jana. Hum bilkul vipreet
disha mein jayenge.

Boss giggles and Chaman giggles with him.

ON CHAMAN as he walk some distance and see a small ditch. He sees

some leaves nearby and covers the hole with them. Then he keeps
one coin on the leaves so that it’s visible. Then he turns back. He has
made a trap.

72
 73.

Chaman does so and they take the exact opposite direction of the
false trail. We see Sumeet’s hands have been tied again.

A BIT LATER... Komal and the kids come to the same place and they
are fooled by the false trail and take the wrong route.

NEHA
Iss taraf.

Soon the trail leads to the coin and the trap underneath. Komal sees
the coin and as she walks to it her she falls and twists her ankle. She
yells in pain and sits down. The kids run towards her.

VIKRAM
Madam kya hua?

But Komal is in great pain.

63ON THE KIDNAPPERS

SUMEET
Susu karni hai mujhe.

BOSS SAYS TO CHAMAN

Ja chaman uski madad kar.

CHAMAN
Kabhi nahin boss.

SUMEET
To mere haath kholo.

Finally they have to open Sumeet’s tied hands. And immediately

Sumeet runs. Boss and Chaman follow. A fun chase where Boss and
Chaman fall and get hurt.

64EXT. RIVER - DAY

Sumeet runs towards the river. He reaches a rope bridge and crosses
it at great risk. He reaches the other side.

Boss and Chaman too go after him. The rope bridge is old and about to
break and just as the two reach the other side, the rope bridge breaks
and falls down. The two hang from the other side. Chaman hanging
from Boss’s pants. Finally they are able to pull themselves up.

Their clothes are torn and they go after Sumeet.

73
 74.

65EXT, JUNGLE/ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RIVER - DAY

But finally Sumeet stops running and sees a the snake tree in his path.

He turns around and runs towards Boss and Chaman. They are puzzled
to see Sumeet running towards them instead of away. And running
fast he passes them on the way back.

They too see the tree full of snakes and run away. Finally they run so
fast they overtake Sumeet and later manage to catch him.

BOSS IS FURIOUS
Bahut ho gaya!

He takes out his gun and almost hits sumeet. Now we see his serious
side.

BOSS
Yeh koi mazaak nahin hai ladke. Maine
tere jaise do bachchon ka…
(indicates cutting throat)
ab phir karne par majboor mat kar.

Even Chaman is surprised at the ferocious attitude and looks at Boss

who winks at him. Chaman understands... Sumeet seems scared for
once.

66BACK AT THE CAMP

Bhagwaan sits with the other kids. The kids are pestering him on what
they should do.

KID
Hey Bhagwaan, ab kya karein hum?
(Bhagwaan doesn’t reply)
Bhagwaan main tumse baat kar raha
hoon.

BHAGWAAN
Ohh maine socha
(points skywards)
Kya karein? Hum kya kar sakte hain?

KID
Kya karien matlab? Hum baith kar pedh
paudhon ko ugte hue dekhein kya? We
should do something. We should be
prepared.

74
 75.

KID 2
Haan agar kidnappers iss taraf aa gaye
to? Humein apni safety ke liye kuch to
karna chahiye.

BHAGWAAN
Hmmm... baat to sahi keh rahe ho...
kuch ideas hain mere paas!
(stands up)
baithe nahin rahenge hum. Chalo main
batata hoon kuch traps bana sakte hain
hum.

KID
Yes, lets do it...

A MONTAGE OF THEM CUTTING BRANCHES... making weapons from

wood, spears.

One of the kids sees a watery ditch. He begins to cover it with with
wood so that the kidnappers can fall into it if they step on it (the same
things they had done).

67ON THE 1ST GROUP ON THE HIGHWAY

Jarnail is on the highway waiting for a car to pass. The kids with him
are all sitting, waiting. Just then they hear the sound of car coming.
Quickly they stand up.

JARNAIL
Car aa rahi hai. Chalo sab uthh jao.

All of them quickly get up and ask for lift but a car going very fast
passes them without even slowing down. The kids are angry at the
driver.

KID (SHOUTS)
Arre yeh to ruka hi nahin. Dikhta nahin
hai kya?

KID 2
Itni der baad ek car aayi, voh bhi nahin
ruki.

KID
Bataaoon kya? Raasta block kar do! Koi
nikal hi na paaye. Rukna hi padega, aur
phir car mein ghus kar lift mangenge!

75
 76.

JARNAIL
Nahin, aisa karna galat hoga! Agli gadi
pakka rukegi. Dekhna sab log. Mujhe
bharosa hai. Arre, log to ek doosre ki
madad karne ka mauka dhoondte hain...
yeh dekho, ek car aa rahi hai.

KID
Badi gaadi hai.

JARNAIL
Dekho kaise rukta hai. Achchi tarah se
lift mango. Aise... dekho aise.
(Jarnail stands by the side of the road
and asks for lift, but the car once again
passes him by, the kids laugh, Jarnail’s
angry)
raasta rok do, koi car yahaan se jaane pa
paaye!

Kids do hi five and gets to work excitedly bringing rocks to block the
road.

68BACK ON KOMAL AND THE KIDS

Komal is hobbling. She realizes she can’t go any further.

KOMAL
Yeh bhi abhi hona tha. Main aagey nahin
ja sakti, we have to go back. Chalo. Koi
aur raasta dhoondhna padega.

Komal and the kids start to turn back but only Vikram doesn’t move.

NEHA
Kya hua vikram?

VIKRAM
We can do this maam.

KOMAL
Magar kaise, main aagey nahin ja sakti.

VIKRAM (POINTS TO OTHER KIDS)

I mean, hum kar saktein hain. Hum sab.

KOMAL
No way! It’s way too dangerous. Chalo
sab wapas chalo.

76
 77.

She turns back but some kids don’t move.

NEHA
Vikram is right. Hum kar sakte hain
madam.

JENNY
Voh paas mein hi hain. We can’t just give
up.

KOMAL
Kids, this is an order, hum wapas ja
rahein hain.

VIKRAM
No madam, aap hi ne kaha tha hum
bachche nahin hain. Aap bilkul chinta
mat karna hum Sumeet ko bacha lenge.
Right guys?

NEHA & JENNY

Right

JENNY (TO TWO OTHER KIDS)

Aap inke saath wapas jao maam. We will
keep on reporting to you when we can.

KOMAL
No kids...

VIKRAM
Come on guys.

Vikram moves away and Neha and Jenny follow. Along with Sudipto,
Krishh and Surya.

SUDIPTO (TO KRISHH & SURYA)

Hey, tum dono kahan ja rahe ho.

KRISHH
Teri baarat mein ja rahe hain. rokega
humein.

SUDIPTO
Hey Krissh, mind your language bro.

KRISHH
Bataoon tere ko.

The two are almost about to fight.

77
 78.

KOMAL (SHOUTS)
Shut up, both of you. Tum log mere
orders ko disobey kar ke kidnappers se
ladne ja rahe ho! Magar pehle aapas
mein to ladna band karo.
(EVERYONE SILENT)
Dekho... main tumhein rok to sakti
nahin, bas yeh advice de sakti hoon ki ek
saath rehna aur tum yeh kar loge...
nahin to tum sab...
(emtional, calms herself)
listen, yeh koi mazaak nahin. Agar tum
sab saath ja rahe ho to Vikram tumhara
leader hai. Jo voh bole sunna hai.
Agreed? AGREED

NEHA & JENNY

Yes madam.

KOMAL (SHOUTS)
Sunayi nahin de raha, zor se bolo.
AGREED.

ALL KIDS
Yes maam.

KOMAL
Best of luck kids. I’m sorry, best of luck
team!

An emotional moment. Vikram smartly salutes her.

VIKRAM
We won’t disappoint you maam. That’s a
promise.
(to his group)
come on guys...

Komal is helped by the remaining two kids and she hobbles back to
camp.

69ON VIKRAM AND HIS GANG

Neha suddenly spots butterflies.

NEHA
Butterflies.

78
 79.

VIKRAM
Komal maam ne kaha tha butterflies ka
matlab paani aas paas hoga. Humein
oopar chad kar aas paas dekhna
chahiye.
(to Krishh)
give me your binocs.

Vikram takes Krishh’s binocs and climbs a tall tree. He climbs the
highest point and uses the binocs to look around.

70VIKRAMS POV

At first he finds nothing but then sees some movement a great

distance away. He spots the trio in the jungle. He climbs down and
tells the others what direction to take.

VIKRAM
Voh log dikhe, iss taraf hain.

They hurry away...

71EXT. RIVER - DAY

They too reach the valley/river where Sumeet had crossed chased by
the kidnappers. But now there is no bridge.

SUDIPTO
Ab cross kaise karein?

JENNY
Lagta hai swim karna padega.

KRISHH
You know, yahan par crocodiles hote
hain.

Everyone’s quiet. Thinking.

NEHA
Aur koi tareeka nahin. We have to swim.
(others nods, but...)

SUDIPTO
Ahmmm. Mujhe swimming nahin aati.

KRISHH
Magar mujhe aati hai! Main swim kar ke
rope bandh sakta hoon. Aur phir hum
sab cross kar saktein hain!

79
 80.

SUDIPTO
Magar... crocodiles?

KRISHH
Tum log dekho, agar kuch dikhta hai to
warn karna. Main jaata hoon.
(everyone’s quiet)
time nahin hai guys... decision, decision.
Quick.
(EVERYONE LOOKS AT VIKRAM)

VIKRAM
Okk, but careful and everyone keep an
eye out. Agar kuch dikhe to warn karna.
Best of luck Krishh.

Krishh looks at Jenny and she looks back at him. She seems
concerned. Slowly he takes off his shirt and pants. The girls look the
other way as he wades into the water and starts to swim. Suddenly
Vikram spots something in the water.

VIKRAM
What’s that?

SUDIPTO
Crocodile! Krissh jaldi. Ek crock aa raha
hai, quick.

Krishh swims faster. The kids are shocked.

72POV SHOTS

We see something starts to swim towards Krishh. Coming CLOSER AND

CLOSER TO HIM.

INTERCUT BETWEEN

Krishh swimming.

The POV coming closer and closer.

The kids are alarmed and shouting.

KIDS
Krishh, swim faster.

The POV is really close to Krishh now. All of them pick up stones and
start throwing at the animal.

Vikram and Sudipto even wade in the water calling out.

80
 81.

VIKRAM
Heyyy. You beast. Idhar! Lunch chahiye?
Idhar aao!

SUDIPTO
Ahhh Tommy tommy tommy...
(as if calling a dog)

We see the POV turns and looks towards Sudipto who is in the water. It
starts to move towards him. Finally just as it reaches Sudipto he
moves out of the water. By now Krishh too has reached the other bank
and climbs on a tree.

The POV moves away from them and goes back into the water.

Krishh takes out the rope and ties it to the tree at a height. One by one
the kids climb on it. Surya is the first and he gets on the rope. He’s
really scared but he climbs on and begins to pull himself to the other
side. We see the POV watching him from the water. At one point he
almost slips but then hangs on and crosses.

Soon the others too get on the rope.

LATER... The others too have crossed over.

SUDIPTO
Bechara Crocodile uska lunch nikal gaya
haath se.

KRISHH
Waise bhi humein khata to uska pet
kharaab ho jata!

All of them shake hands and hurry in the direction they saw the
kidnappers.

VIKRAM
Phir humein pedh par chad kar dekhna
hoga.

SURYA
Main jaaon, maain jaaon. River crossing
mein itna maza aaya ki mujhe tree bhi
climb karna hai!

Quickly he goes to the tree and climbs like a monkey. From the top he
looks around and spots the kidnappers. They seem to be heading for a
mountain.

81
 82.

73ON THE KIDNAPPERS/JUNGLE - DAY

The kidnappers are resting.

BOSS
Main aas paas dekh kar aata hoon.

As Boss leaves… Sumeet takes out a game from his bag and begins
playing. Chaman sees it.

CHAMAN
Main khel loon?

Sumeet shows him how and Chaman gets involved in the game… He
sees Chaman is deeply engrossed and he tries to slip away but he
comes up on Boss who catches him.

BOSS
Hey, tu kahan chal diya?

Summet shows his little finger. Chaman yells with joy as he has won a
game…

BOSS
Hey Chaman, game band kar nahin to
tera game baja daloonga main.

Chaman puts the game away

74ON THE KIDS

As they hear voices…

NEHA
Voices! Hum zyada door nahin.

They track rapidly and find the place where someone had pissed.

SURYA
Kisi ne yahan...
(shows the little finger)
lagta hai Sumeet is making a trail of, you
know. Taaki hum peecha kar sakein.

The girls make a face, yuck what a trail!

75EXT. MOUNTAIN SIDE- DAY

On the kidnappers... they reach a mountain.

82
 83.

BOSS
Oopar chadh ke dekhna chahiye.
Shaayad road dikh jaaye.

With great difficult they climb the mountain. Once they are up there is
a small avalanche and the rocks they were climbing on break and fall
down. The sound alerts the kids.

INTERCUT ... the kids are close by.

VIKRAM
Careful, hide. Voh oopar hain. kahin
humein dekh na lein.
(all of them hide behind trees)

JENNY
We should have some code signal. Agar
koi danger ho aas paas... to...

NEHA
...we will make a koel’s sound.

Surya makes a koel’s sound and Sudipto laughs.

NEHA (SCOLDS)
Sudipto!

SUDIPTO
Sorry, sorry. Ok koel ki awaaz. Done.

NEHA (LOOKS UP)

Humein bhi oopar jana hoga.

VIKRAM
Magar wahan se nahin ja sakte, they will
see us.

NEHA (POINTING AT THE VERTICAL CLIMB)

Matlab yahin se jana hoga.

JENNY
Yahan se kaise koi chadh sakta hai?

NEHA
Main ja sakti hoon. I’ve done a bit of
moutaineering.

SUDIPTO
But this is crazy. Iss pe kaise koi chadh
sakta hai, aur voh bhi ek ladki...

83
 84.

NEHA
Ladki? Kaun ladki?

SUDIPTO
No, I mean, bahut khatra hai. Aur unke
paas weapons bhi honge.

SURYA
Agar unke paas weapons hain to hamare
paas brains hain!

VIKRAM
Ok lets do it. Neha... you go. If you can.

Neha nods and takes out the climbing equipment and prepares to
climb.

SUDIPTO
Best of luck Neha. Ladkiyan car to chala
nahin kar saktin, I hope tum... yeh zaroor
chadh paaogi.

NEHA
Shut up Sudipto.

76CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN

Neha starts to climb the mountain.

She uses the natural footholds to make her way up. She’s slowly
reaching a dangerous height.

Everyone watches with their hearts in their mouths.

Neha steps on a rock. It loosens and falls down.

The kids below jump away at the last moment as the rock falls inches
from them making a loud THUD. Neha too looses her footing and
almost falls. Neha hangs on for dear life...

77INT. RUINS ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN – SAME TIME

Boss and Chaman are resting. Just then they hear the noise of the
rocks falling.

BOSS
Main dekhta hoon.

84
 85.

78EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP - DAY

He goes to the top of the cliff just as Neha climbs up.

She sees Boss a few feet away and suddenly jumps into a bush.

Boss sees a shaking bush and pulls out his gun. He begins to come
towards Neha... in a few moments she will be caught.

Neha thinks quickly and taking a stone throws it on another bush. As

the falling stone makes a noise Boss turns in that direction. Seeing her
opportunity Neha slips away.

Boss checks the second bush and not finding anything resumes his
walk around the khandhar.

Seeing that he has gone, Neha goes by the side of the cliff and
gestures for others to follow.

79MONTAGE

Of the other kids climbing on the rope Neha has left for them. They tie
themselves securely on the rope and climb. It’s much easier and safer
for them as compared to Neha. As he climbs Surya enjoys again, he is
slowly overcoming all his fears.

80ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

Boss takes out his phone and tries to get a signal. He makes all kind of
poses and angles to get the signal. Sometimes the signal comes and
goes.

Meanwhile... Chaman is busy with Sumeet’s game. Sumeet watches

him trying to free himself.

INTERCUT with the kids who have climbed up one by one. They are
very excited instead of being scared.

They assemble in a corner.

VIKRAM
Ab hota hai asli game shuru. We have to
be quiet and we have to be careful. Main
battleground survey kar ke aata hoon
aur phir hum strategy bana ke attack
karenge.
(To Sudipto and Jenny)
tum dono apne yeh bright jackets utaar
do, we have to camouflage.

81A MONTAGE

OF Vikram crouching down and going on an inspection.

He sees the area and shoots it using Neha’s cam. He marks everyone’s
location and returns.

LATER... he shows the area to the others on the handycam.

JENNY POINTS OUT

Yeh entry aur exit. Aur koi raasta nahin.

SUDIPTO
Sabse pehle humein unko divide karna
chahiye and then we rule.

They begin to make a plan.

82INT. AND EXT. KHANDAR - EVENING

Boss returns. Chaman is still playing the game.

BOSS
Arre yeh khel hata mere baap.

CHAMAN PUTS IT ASIDE

Ab kya karein?

BOSS
Signal aata hai jata hai. Thoda aaram
karte hain, phir aagey dekhenge.

Sumeet is sitting and looking at the two kidnappers talking when

suddenly he’s surprised to see a lazer dot moving.

Sumeet looks up in surprise and checks that both the kidnappers

aren’t watching. He sees Vikram doing a thumbs up sign with the laser
dot in his hand (established earlier during a song). Sumeet smiles and
winks at him and just then Boss sees him smiling, quickly he moves
towards Sumeet and sees in that direction but by now Vikram is gone.

BOSS
Kise dekh kar hans raha tha tu?

SUMEET
Voh ek joke yaad aa gaya, yahaan bats
hain na, unka ek jke.

BOSS
Lateefa sunao. Hum bhi zara hans lein.
Sunao. SUNAO!

86
 87.

SUMEET (REMEMBERS)
Voh ek baar saare bats ulte latke hue
they, magar ek bat seedha latka tha. To
kisi ne poocha yeh bat seedha kyun
latka hai.

BOSS
Kyun latka tha?

SUMMET
Voh yoga kar raha tha!

Chaman laughs loudly at the joke.

BOSS
Kya ulta joke tha!

CHAMAN
Ulta joke! Ha ha hhaaaa. Aap bhi bahut
mazaakiya ho boss. Ha ha

BOSS
Aabey chup. Main thoda sone ja raha
hoon, dhyaan rakhna.

He lies down and starts to snore.

Surya takes his slingshot (established earlier). He takes aim and hits
Boss with a little stone. Boss feels the sting of the stone and quickly
gets up. He looks around and sees Chaman smiling. He wonders who
hit him.

He lies down again and again Surya hits him. Boss immediately gets
up.

BOSS
Hey, maar kyun raha hai?

CHAMAN
Kaun boss? Kaun? Kahan?

Boss sees the little stone and is suspicious. He goes to sleep again and
for the 3rd time a stone hits him and he quickly gets up and attacks
Chaman.

BOSS
Pathar maarega? Hain? Batoon tere ko.
Boss kaun hai?

CHAMAN
Aap ho boss.

87
 88.

BOSS
To masti mat kar mere saath. Bata raha
hoon...

Chaman gulps. Boss leaves him and moves away angrily. He goes into
a corner and sits down.

Chaman sits alone. He’s getting bored and picks up the game. He’s
about to start playing when suddenly Sumeet lets out a gasp of horror.

CHAMAN
Kya hua?

SUMEET
Leopard. Wahan baahar.

Chaman smiles and casually walks up to the window and looks out.
And suddenly he’s alarmed as he too sees a leopard outside the
khandar!

CHAMAN PETRIFIED
Boss.

Boss runs up.

BOSS
Ab kya hua?

CHAMAN
Leopard... Tendua! Matlab cheetah.

BOSS
Main dekhta hoon.

OUTSIDE... we see it’s Sudipto in a leopard’s costume. In the twilight

outside Chaman mistook it to be a real leopard (this is the same
costume used earlier in the film during the walk scare).

Boss leaves... Chaman goes back from the window scared. He sits
down on edge looking at the window. When nothing happens his eyes
fall on Sumeet’s game. Slowly he looks at it then picks it up and begins
to play again.

Meanwhile... Behind him we see Jenny, who’s like a gymnast, she

moves in on her knees. She creeps up and quietly throws a hook to the
bag the two kidnappers are carrying (the bag contains the stolen
mobile phones and the valuables and money taken from Sumeet).

Jenny starts to pull the bag and Chaman almost catches it but Sumeet
distracts him.

88
 89.

SUMMET
Kitna score banaya?

CHAMAN
10,000 se oopar.

SUMEET
Utna to main aakh band kar ke bana
sakta hoon.

CHAMAN
Achcha? Main dikhata hoon.

He begins to play furiously and gets busy in his game.

Meanwhile Jenny pulls the bag near her. She quietly steals the money
from it and then puts it back near Chaman.

She takes the money and hides it under a rock quietly showing the
place to Sumeet.

JUST THEN BOSS COMES in. Quickly Jenny rolls away and hides behind
a rock. She creeps out.

Boss comes in and hits Chaman on his head.

BOSS
Bahar kuch nahin, aur yeh tera game...

CHAMAN
Nahin, ruko boss. Main record break
karne wala hoon...

But Boss takes the game and throwing it on the ground breaks it unto
pieces by stepping on it repeatedly.

CHAMAN CRIES
Nahinnnn...

BOSS
Yeh le tera record break ho gaya.

Chaman picks up the pieces and still tries to play the game but it’s
gone.

As Boss turns around he finds the money bag open, he comes near it
and checks it. He finds the money missing.

BOSS
Ehh Chaman kahin ke. Paisa kahan
gaya?

89
 90.

CHAMAN
Issi mein to hoga.

BOSS
Nahin hai ismein.
(turns to Sumeet)
oye ladke tune dekha?

SUMEET (SCARED)
Nahin... main... mujhe darrr lagta hai.

BOSS
BATA.

SUMEET
Yeh Chaman ne le kar udhar chupaya
hai. Usne kaha ki maine bataye to mere
ko maar dega.

Boss finds the money there and says to Chaman

BOSS
Mere se chori! Itni seena jori!

CHAMAN
Nahin boss. Ladka jhoot bol raha hai.

Chaman and Boss begin to fight (the kids have successfully separated
them).

As the two are fighting... Sumeet sees his opportunity. Behind him we
see Jenny creeps up and frees him.

Quickly the two turn and escape. As the two run into another room
they are shocked as THEY RUN INTO BOSS AND CHAMAN!

Boss pulls out his gun and holds the two. He puts the gun on Sumeet’s
head.

BOSS
Jitney bhi ho bahar aa jao. Nahin to...

He has caught the kids red handed and one by one all the kids come
out from hiding.

BOSS
Mujhe pata tha Chaman mujhe dhokha
nahin de sakta, itna dimaag nahin hai
ismein. Hum dono bees saal se saath
hain.

90
 91.

CHAMAN
Haan remand home se hi boss mera boss
ban gaya tha.

BOSS
Mujhe shaq tha koi to aur hai yahan pe.
Chal Chaman, baandh de sasuron ko.

Chaman ties them up.

BOSS TO CHAMAN
Ab hum chalte hain. Magar pehle ek
kaam.

He takes a knife and makes a small cut on Vikram’s hand.

BOSS
Suna hai cheetah door se hi khoon
soongh leta hai. Ab tum banoge uska
dinner. Ta ta.

Taking Sumeet with them the two kidnappers leave.

ON THE KIDS... as they are tied down.

They can’t free themselves. They are struggling...

JUST WHEN THEY HEAR THE GROWL OF A REAL LEOPARD.

NEHA
Lagta hai sach main asli leopard... We
have to free ourselves.

Through the window we can see something moving towards the ruins.

The kids struggle but they are tightly tied up.

Suddenly Sudipto’s eyes fall the game that Boss had broken. He sees a
sharp metal piece in it.

Sudipto slides to it and takes it in his fingers. Slowly he begins to cut

the rope.

SUDIPTO
Daro mat, main hoon na. Main
bachoonga sabko.

He cuts the rope but it’s having no effect.

Meanwhile Vikram, who’s very athletic wriggles his wrist and manages
to free his hands from the rope. Quickly he frees Krishh. Who frees
Neha and the others.

91
 92.

All of them turn and see Sudipto is still stupidly struggling trying to cut
his rope with the small piece of metal.

SUDIPTO
Main hoon na. Main bachoonga sabko.

The others shake their heads and run up to him. Sudipto looks at
them...

SUDIPTO
Bas ho gaya, bas do minute aur. Bas...

He continues struggling and then stops and sees that the others are
free. Neha opens his hands as the others laugh. Sudipto sulks for the
first time.

SUDIPTO
Bas ho gaya tha, in a few seconds I
would have freed myself.

VIKRAM (TO EVERYONE)

Leopard itne saare logon ko dekh kar
attack nahin karega, aur agar voh paas
aata hai to stand straight, voh hamari
height se dar jayega. Ok? Come on now.

All of them rush out...

83EXT. ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN - DAY

Vikram is furious.

VIKRAM
Unhone humein maarne ki koshish ki,
chodenge nahin unhein.

Vikram takes the binocs and sees the two kidnappers making their
down the mountain. They can see the highway from there.

NEHA
Voh to jaldi hi higway pahunch jayenge.

JENNY
It’s time for fireworks.

As the others go down the mountain one by one Jenny lights up the
rockets that go high in the air and burst.

92
 93.

84ON THE TWO OTHER GROUPS – EVENING

As they see the rockets in the air. Jarnail on the highway says.

JARNAIL (TO HIS GROUP)

Chalo. Lagta hain unhein Sumeet aur
voh dono badmaash mil gaye hain.
(He takes out his walkie talkie and talks
in it)
hello, hello...

ON Komal too sees the rockets. She talks on the walkie talkie to
Jarnail. We don’t hear what they are saying...

85MONTAGE/INTERCUT BETWEEN THE THREE GROUPSB - EVENING

We see this in split screen. As the three group talk and co-ordinate. As
Vikram and his group comes into range, they talk on walkie talkies.

Vikram takes out his map and gives the coordinates of where the
kidnappers are.

Komal understands the directions and talks to Jarnail and the others to
head for that direction.

We see that all three groups surround and come towards the
kidnappers.

86NEAR THE HIGHWAY

KOMAL TALKS TO JARNAIL

Jarnail voh tumhari taraf aa rahe hain.
Tum andar ki taraf aao. Make lots of
noise so they come towards us.

JARNAIL
Waise hi jaise purane zamane mein
jungli jaanwar ka shikaar karte they?
Hain na?

KOMAL
Haan, magar yahan per jaanwar aur bhi
khatarnaak hai. Dhayan se.

ON THE KIDNAPPERS as they are making their way to the highway.

Suddenly they hear loud voices from the trees in front of them. They
hear drums sounds DUM DUM DUM DUM... and they hear shouts and
cries. It’s as if a mob is coming after them...

93
 94.

Boss and Chaman are a bit scared. They change direction. They turn
to their left and we see they head straight for the place where Komal
and her group are waiting for them. Slowly they are being made to go
where Komal wants them to go.

WE SEE... the noises are being made by Jarnail and his group of kids
who are shouting and talking loudly and beating a metallic can to
scare the kidnappers.

THE KIDNAPPERS are forced towards the trap...

As Boss and Chaman walk pulling Sumeet with them... they are on
high alert. Boss holds his gun and is ready to shoot at anyone he sees.
Chaman has taken out a knife and holds it in his hand ready to slice
any attacker.

The two look really dangerous.

ON THE KIDS... we see some kids watching the two make their way
through the trees. Sumeet looks around and sees one of the boys
sitting amongst the trees well camouflaged.

The boy gestures to Sumeet to go down. Sumeet doesn’t understand

but then he sees the kids hidden in the trees are holding a rope/vine in
their hands and all of the ropes vines have rocks tied on them.
Suddenly Komal whistles and all the kids leave the vines and they
begin to swing towards the kidnappers.

Summet sees this and instantly jumps down. He lies flat on the ground
as the rocks swing towards the kidnappers. A few of them miss but
then some of them hit their mark and the two kidnappers are flung
down to the ground by the swinging rock pendulums.

As the two kidnappers try to quickly get up more ropes are swung and
they continue being hit. Sumeet lies down and watches the fun.

A crazy Boss reaches for his gun and starts to shoot wildly and the kids
instantly run away.

Boss and Chaman stand up. The two are hurt and bruised but
otherwise fine.

BOSS
Sabke chitade kar doonga main, sabke!

The two begin to quickly walk away again.

ON THE KIDS... as they are ready with the next trap. A laser dot falls
on Sumeet. He looks in that direction and sees a kid making a gesture
stop, don’t walk.

94
 95.

Sumeet again doesn’t understand but stops walking to focus on what

they are trying to tell him.

But Boss and Chaman keep on walking and suddenly the earth under
their feet collapses and they fall in a ditch of muddy water face first.
We see that the kids had covered the muddy ditch of water with a net
and had sprinkled leaves and mud over it to make it look like ground.
And as the two kidnappers stepped on it the net collapsed and they
fell into the ditch.

They now look dirty and covered in mud.

CHAMAN IS SHOUTING
Bachao bachao, dal dal mein phans gaya
mein. Mein doob raha hoon. Bachon
boss.

It looks like he’s really going down when Boss pulls him up.

BOSS
Arre dal dal nahin hai yeh. Khada ho ja.

Chaman stands on his feet and realizes he’s fine and not sinking.

Now Boss looks around and sees Sumeet is trying to get away. He
shouts

BOSS
Ruk ja ladke nahin to goli maar doonga.

And Sumeet stops running. Boss and Chaman get out of the ditch and
catch Sumeet.

They pull him and begin to walk away.

As they reach another place a kid pulls a string and a net comes down
on the three. But Boss and Chaman jump away and Sumeet is trapped
in the net.

At least he is freed from them. Boss and Chaman stand alongside each
other. One by one they see that the kids come out from all around
them.

From one side emerge Vikram and his group. From the other emerge
Jarnail and his group. From the third side walk out Bhagwaan with his
kids. And last of all stands Komal.

The kidnappers are surrounded by kids from all sides. But Boss pulls
out his gun.

95
 96.

BOSS
Main maar daloonga is ladke ko. Sabko
maar daaloonga. Ruk jao wahin par.
(Boss puts his gun on Sumeet)
bahut ho gaya, isko to main maar hi deta
hoon. Bas! Phir main tum sabko kidnap
kar ke tumhare ghar waalon se rokda
ainth loonga. Main bahut danger hoon,
bahut danger.

CHAMAN
Aur main bhi.

Sudipto quietly takes out a rocket and aims it at Boss. He lights the
rocket and taking aim sends it towards Boss. The rocket flies towards
him startling him and he removes the gun from Sumeet.

Sumeet jumps away and the rocket misses Boss but goes from just
behind Chaman.

Komal now jumps at Boss and the two struggle to get control of the
gun. Komal is strong too and uses judo to fling Boss off balance.

But the gun is still in his hand. Boss takes the gun and says everyone
stop where they are. He turns the gun towards the sky and fires and
everyone is quiet but the bullet from his gun unfortunately hits a
coconut and it falls right on his head.

He becomes woozy and falls down. Komal takes his gun away.

Meanwhile... Chaman still has the knife in his hand and thinks that his
pants are on fire (although it’s not). The kids look at each other.

Chaman realizes he is all right. He turns to the kids and shows his
knife.

The kids (all of them) look at each other making up their mind.

KOMAL COMMANDS
Guys, get ready to attack.

Chaman and boss stand up slowly. Boss still hurting.

KOMAL
Charge on three. One...

BOSS AND CHAMAN (VERY SCARED)

Hey. Ruk jao, maar dalenge hum. Jo
aayega usse kaat daalenge.

96
 97.

KOMAL
Two...

BOSS AND CHAMAN

Ruk jao...

KOMAL
Three...

Instantly Vikram and group attack Chaman. Vikram swings a stick and
hits Chaman whose knife falls down. And the kids awarm the two like
bees. Chaman and Boss are and captured.

Everyone rejoices. They’re all friends and have had the most amazing
adventure ever.

The kidnappers are tied up and pulled. The kids reach the camp.

87EXT. CAMPFIRE – THAT NIGHT

Everyone watches. The kidnappers are tied up. Jarnail pulls the
carburator out of the kidnappers’ bag…

JARNAIL
Mil gaya carburator!

KOMAL
Ab kal subah subah hum wapas
challenge. Magar abhi ke liye...

SUMEET (SPEAKS UP)

Komal madam. Main kuch kehna chahta
hoon.

KOMAL
Haan bolo sumeet.

SUMEET (SLOWLY)
I’m sorry for my behaviour. Everyone I’m
sorry.
(begins to cry)
main itna bura tha, phir bhi tum sab ne,
apni jaan katre mein daal kar...
(breaks down)

Komal walks up to him and hugs him. She wipes his tears. Her eyes
too are watery. She then gestures to the kids - come up and give him
a hug.

97
 98.

Vikram and group come up and hug. Everyone emotional and happy.
Jarnail and Bhagwaan to walk up. All of them make a huddle like the
Indian cricket team. Some of them are crying, supporting each other...

Finally Sumeet wipes his tears and frees himself

SUMEET
Ek minute. Eh aur kaam karna hai.
(comes upto the kidnappers, everyone
watches)
Ab batao, boss kaun hai?
(kidnappers are quiet)
batao? Kaun hai?
(quiet, Sumeet shouts)
BATAOOOOOOO!

BOSS AND CHAMAN (SCARED OF HIM)

Aap log ho boss! Aap ho maaiy baap.
Aap ho boss.

Everyone laughs and celebrates... theme song begins... Krishh dances

with Jenny. Neha with Sumeet. Surya has a snake in his hand and
dances. Bhagwaan and Jarnail do the bhangra.

Adventure over...

The end...
