Full Shooting Script in Industry Courier Monospace Format
FADE IN:
INT. TINY BATHROOM / DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT
Ek chhota, suffocating bathroom-dressing room. Deewar par BADA MIRROR. Dim warm bulb buzz kar raha hai. Narrow window se hawa aakar glass ko khadkhada rahi hai.
HARSH (27), hoodie mein, cocky pose mein.
SIDDHARTH (29), phone flashlight aur prayer thread pakde.
LEENA (26), wet hair, quiet, eerie.
Harsh mirror ke saamne khada hai, apni beard set karta hua.
HARSH
Arre yaar, viral challenge hai. Bas mirror ke saamne naam bolo aur sawaal pucho. Simple.
SIDDHARTH
Simple? Bhai, horror videos mein bhi log “simple” bolke hi marte hain.
HARSH
Tu bas darr raha hai.
SIDDHARTH
Main practical hoon.
Harsh smirks. Leena doorway ke paas khadi hai, almost still.
LEENA
Practical log hi pehle jaate hain.
Siddharth turns to her.
SIDDHARTH
Tu kab aayi?
LEENA
Jab tum loud ho gaye.
Harsh laughs nervously.
HARSH
Aaja, witness ban. Agar kuch hua na, toh bolna prank tha.
Leena slowly steps in. Paani ki halki boond floor par tapakti hai.
SIDDHARTH
(eyeing her hair)
Tu bheegi kyu hai?
LEENA
Window ke paas khadi thi.
Wind rattles the glass.
HARSH
Theek hai. Ritual start.
Harsh mirror ki taraf dekhta hai.
HARSH (CONT’D)
Teen baar naam.
Harsh. Harsh. Harsh.
SIDDHARTH
Yeh kya bakwaas hai?
HARSH
Shhh.
Harsh stares into mirror.
HARSH (CONT’D)
Kaun sabse zyada dar raha hai?
A beat.
Mirror mein HARSH ka reflection thoda late smile karta hai.
SIDDHARTH (O.S.)
Tu.
Harsh and Siddharth freeze.
HARSH
Kya?
SIDDHARTH
Maine nahi bola.
The phone flashlight FLICKERS.
HARSH
Tu hi bola hoga.
SIDDHARTH
Main yahan hoon, bhai.
Harsh looks back at mirror. His reflection is now a fraction of a second late.
HARSH
Okay. Funny.
He leans closer.
HARSH (CONT’D)
Kaun room mein sabse zyada fake hai?
Siddharth gulps.
Mirror HARSH answers, but in SIDDHARTH’S VOICE.
SIDDHARTH (MIRROR)
Tu.
A silence.
SIDDHARTH
Nahi. Nahi, nahin, nahin.
LEENA
Mirror jhooth nahi bolta.
HARSH
Tu itna sure kaise?
LEENA
Kyunki usko yaad hota hai.
Harsh turns to her.
HARSH
Yaad? Kis baat ki?
Leena steps closer to the mirror.
LEENA
Mujhe yaad hai na?
SIDDHARTH
Kya yaad hai?
Leena doesn’t answer. She looks at the mirror.
The bulb HUMS lower. Room gets colder.
SIDDHARTH
(mainly to Harsh)
Bas kar. Challenge cancel.
HARSH
Abey, darr gaya?
SIDDHARTH
Main prayer thread leke aaya hoon, Harsh. Samajh?
HARSH
Mere room mein thread leke aaya aur mujhe bol raha darr?
The water glass on the shelf shifts slightly.
LEENA
(softly)
Paani.
They all look at the glass.
A DROP falls from nowhere into it.
SIDDHARTH
Kaun hai?
HARSH
Tu hi hoga.
SIDDHARTH
Main yahin hoon!
HARSH
Toh phir awaz kaun kar raha hai?
A VOICE, layered and wet, comes from the mirror.
MIRROR VOICE (O.S.)
Aur kaun?
Harsh stumbles back.
HARSH
Nahin.
Siddharth grips the prayer thread harder.
SIDDHARTH
Bhai, bas bahar nikalte hain.
LEENA
Nahi.
Both men turn.
HARSH
Kya “nahi”?
LEENA
Abhi nahi.
SIDDHARTH
Tu kaun side pe hai?
Leena stares at the mirror, not them.
LEENA
Us side pe.
A beat.
The mirror reflection of Leena smiles a little too late.
HARSH
(trying to laugh)
Okay, okay. Good one.
SIDDHARTH
Harsh...
HARSH
Kya?
SIDDHARTH
Mujhe lag raha hai... humne kuch miss kiya.
HARSH
Kya miss kiya?
SIDDHARTH
Pata nahi.
He looks at the phone clock.
SIDDHARTH (CONT’D)
Mere phone pe time jump hua hai.
HARSH
Kya matlab?
SIDDHARTH
Ek minute gayab hai.
Silence.
LEENA
Do minute.
Siddharth looks at her.
SIDDHARTH
Tu kaise jaanti hai?
LEENA
Kyunki pehle bhi hua tha.
Harsh steps closer to mirror, anger covering fear.
HARSH
Enough. Agar prank hai toh bol. Kaun kar raha hai yeh?
Mirror HARSH speaks before Harsh does.
MIRROR HARSH
Tum dono.
Siddharth yelps.
SIDDHARTH
Yeh possible nahi hai!
LEENA
Possible hi toh hai.
She reaches for the comb near the sink. Picks it up. Water drips from her hair onto it.
HARSH
Leena, tu mujhe pagal lag rahi hai.
LEENA
Shayad.
She places the comb on the shelf.
LEENA (CONT’D)
Us raat bhi yahi tha.
Siddharth and Harsh go still.
SIDDHARTH
Kaunsi raat?
Leena looks at them, expression unchanged.
LEENA
Jab mujhe dhakka laga tha.
HARSH
Kya?
SIDDHARTH
Nahi... nahi, yeh...
LEENA
Mirror ne sab dekha tha.
The window rattles violently.
A sudden FLASH from the bulb.
For one frame, the mirror shows:
— Leena standing soaked.
— Harsh and Siddharth arguing.
— A hand.
— A slip.
— Water flooding the floor.
Light returns.
Harsh is breathing hard.
HARSH
Maine kuch nahi kiya.
SIDDHARTH
Main bhi nahi.
LEENA
Toh yaad karo.
Siddharth touches his forehead, confused.
SIDDHARTH
Wait... wait... bathroom... glass... tu... tu gir gayi thi?
Harsh suddenly remembers.
HARSH
Nahi... hum... humne...
He stops.
SIDDHARTH
Humne kya?
HARSH
Kuch nahi.
LEENA
Jhooth.
Her voice is now colder, deeper.
LEENA (CONT’D)
Mirror ko death ka sequence chahiye.
Usko yaad sirf living log dila sakte hain.
SIDDHARTH
Kya?
LEENA
Main mar chuki hoon.
A long, terrible silence.
HARSH
Nahi.
LEENA
Haan.
SIDDHARTH
Tu prank kar rahi hai.
LEENA
Main kabse yahi bol rahi hoon.
She points at the mirror.
LEENA (CONT’D)
Woh mujhe yaad nahi kar paa raha tha.
Isliye tum dono ko bulaya.
HARSH
Kaun “woh”?
The mirror voice answers.
MIRROR VOICE (O.S.)
Main.
Siddharth backs away, prayer thread dangling.
SIDDHARTH
Harsh, darwaza.
HARSH
Mera pair—
He looks down. His shoe is stuck to the wet floor.
LEENA
Ab bolo.
HARSH
Kya?
LEENA
Kaun tha?
SIDDHARTH
Main nahi tha!
HARSH
Maine push nahi kiya!
LEENA
Toh kisne kiya?
They both look at each other.
In the mirror, their reflections slowly turn... and point at each other.
The bulb BUZZES, then dims.
LEENA steps into the mirror’s frame, almost merging with it.
LEENA (CONT’D)
Ab yaad aa gaya.
Harsh and Siddharth stare, horrified, as their reflections continue moving a beat after them.
The window glass SHAKES.
The water glass cracks.
CUT TO BLACK.
A wet whisper in the dark.
MIRROR VOICE (O.S.)
Ab next time... seedha poochna.
FADE OUT.
