Short Film NJAN

While the story is by my friend Hari, I handled the dialogues and screenplay for this short film, which we have named Njan. Here is the first scene of the short film. Please give me your reviews:


We see the words NJAN… appear on screen, which fade to set the story to begin.

Scene. 1: Int. Srinath’s Bed room, Early Morning

As the morning rays shine through the open window, we see a big and spacious bedroom,
with all kind of luxuries one can find. The bed in itself in huge, and on it lies a man with
a woman. The lady is young, we don’t have to know her name. The man is but the one we
have to know. The camera pans on to him:

Narrator

Njaan aarenno njaan enthinnu vannuvenno ennikku ariyilla.
Njaan innu ivide undu. Nalle evide undaavum ennu
ennikkariyilla. Kallathinte mattachakrathil, mikapozhum
njaan oru baliyadu mathramaannu. Ennal mattulavarude
kannil, njan oru aravumrigham mathramaanu.

The man opens his eyes and looks around. He wakes up and stirs around. His hands
are about to touch the girl he is lying beside to, but he makes sure he doesn’t touch
her. Instead, he slowly wakes up, and reaches his hands for the purse lying on the table
nearby. He picks it up, takes a few thousand rupee notes out of it, and throws it over her.
He then stands up and walks towards the camera.

Narrator

Penninum padhavikkum enthe munnil oru villa mathrame
ullu. Haram pidikunna vasthukkalkku njaan thane
vilayidum. Chilla samayangallil chorayil aayirikkum
vilayiruthunathu. Innum njaan oru villayittu. Enthe
karmathinnu njan itta peru marannam, vila…oru kodi.
