Full Shooting Script in Industry Courier Monospace Format
FADE IN:
INT. ROOM 204 - NIGHT
Cramped room. Bedside lamp ki peeli roshni. Khidki se baarish aur door lightning. Bada WARDROBE MIRROR room ko dominate karta hai.
NAINA (24), hoodie, pale aur exhausted, suitcase ghaseette hue andar aati hai. Haath mein purani KEY.
MRS. D’SOUZA (61), nightgown, shawl, rosary ke saath, doorway par khadi.
Priya (38) corridor se flashlight leke enter karti hai.
MRS. D’SOUZA
Bas room dekh lo. Rent time pe aur awaaz kam.
NAINA
Aunty, itna suspense toh flats mein bhi nahi hota.
Mrs. D’Souza glare.
MRS. D’SOUZA
Yeh room 204 hai. Mazaak nahi.
Priya flashlight on karti hai, room scan karti hai.
PRIYA
Old building, old furniture, old fear.
Sab normal hai.
Naina mirror ki taraf dekhti hai. Uska reflection half-second late.
Naina notices.
NAINA
...Mera reflection slow kyun hai?
PRIYA
Light ka issue hoga.
Priya mirror par flashlight beam daalti hai. Reflection thoda late react karta hai.
Mrs. D’Souza rosary tight karti hai.
MRS. D’SOUZA
Is room mein ek tenant gayab hui thi.
NAINA
Great. Abhi mujhe room mila hai ya crime scene?
MRS. D’SOUZA
Usne mirror ke saamne apna naam suna tha.
Lightning flashes.
Ek beat.
PRIYA
Suggestion ka khel hai. Dim light, stress,
naya jagah—mind tricks karta hai.
NAINA
Haan, aur rent bhi mind trick hi lag raha hai.
Priya almost smiles. Then stops.
Mirror se ek FAINT VOICE.
VOICE (O.S.)
Mujhe bahar nikaalo.
Sab freeze.
NAINA
...Maine nahi bola.
Mirror se phir awaaz, bilkul Naina ki.
VOICE (O.S.)
Woh mujhe yahan chhod ke gayi thi.
Mrs. D’Souza ka rosary girta hai.
MRS. D’SOUZA
Nahi... nahi...
Priya steps closer to mirror, torch steady.
PRIYA
Okay. Echo. Vent. Koi hidden speaker.
NAINA
Priya, please. Mera naam mat bolke test mat karo.
Priya looks at Naina.
PRIYA
Tumhara naam?
Mrs. D’Souza, shaken.
MRS. D’SOUZA
Pichli tenant ka naam bhi Naina tha.
Silence.
NAINA
Kya?
MRS. D’SOUZA
Uske suitcase mein silver locket tha.
Police ko nahi bataya maine.
Priya narrows eyes.
PRIYA
Aap pehle bol sakti thi.
MRS. D’SOUZA
Main darr gayi thi.
Mirror mein Naina ke suitcase ka ZIP OPEN dikhta hai.
Real suitcase band.
Priya notices.
PRIYA
Wait...
Mirror mein, suitcase ke andar SILVER LOCKET.
NAINA
Mera suitcase toh band tha.
Mirror Naina smiles. Real Naina doesn’t.
PRIYA
Naina, mat hilna.
Priya grabs a chair.
PRIYA (CONT'D)
Main isko tod deti hoon.
MRS. D’SOUZA
Nahi! Agar mirror toota toh—
PRIYA
Toh kya? Bhoot insurance claim karega?
She raises chair.
Lightning.
Mirror REFLECTION smiles first.
Then real Naina smiles a beat later.
Priya stops dead.
PRIYA
...Naina?
Naina’s voice splits—real and echo.
NAINA
Main yahan hoon.
Mirror Naina steps back inside the glass, picks up the suitcase, and walks toward the mirror exit.
Real Naina remains still, eyes blank.
Mrs. D’Souza whispers a prayer.
MRS. D’SOUZA
Holy Mary...
Mirror Naina reaches the “surface” and disappears OUT of the mirror frame.
Real Naina slowly turns to Priya.
A cold smile.
Bedside lamp flickers.
MIRROR NAINA (O.S.)
Ab tumhari baari.
Priya’s flashlight dies.
BLACKOUT.
A final thunderclap.
FADE OUT.
