Title of the movie, I don’ know. I haven’t figured it out yet.
A rock band, a fruit, a folk dress of Andalusia, a xylophone, a spaceship, extinct
species, sound of sharks, the process of making wines, a nursery rhyme, a
popular painting, a word from dictionary, billionaire’s son’s name or just a
cap of a designer pen, could be the basis to decide a name of the movie. Or it
could be one not mentioned in the list.
Cut to, the casting. Woah! Excited. Quite a few names are
already popping up in my mind. But. But it is legends versus the aspiring and
struggling actors. The stars of silver screen versus the stars in their peer
group. My own favorites versus the opportunists.
But I want to make a super hit flick. One that will break
all records. Completes all silver, golden, diamond, titanium jubilees et al.
That’s for sure.
Now comes the indispensable part of the movie. How it will
be? What will be the plot or the story? And yes, I have numerous options for it
too. Some record breaking and award winning ideas. Some truly novel ideas. Some
autobiographies. Remakes. Historical identities. Science fictions. Action-horror-comedy-thriller,
not necessarily in the same order. And yes the blogs, the real life stories
garnished with some masala, tadka, latkas and jhatkas. Or simply an
online script-writing contest.
I think that sounds good.
Tan-tan-la-la-hey-hey-ho-ho. No. I have not got insane. But just
thinking about the music. The melodious tracks. The lyrics. The rhythms. And of
course, striking the right chord. Because, I believe, it’s the music that an
audience enjoys in a movie the most. It’s a way to reach to their pocket. Don’t
take me wrong. I meant, the driving force to pull them to the theatres. And let
me tell you one secret . Because I’m little nervous. Music is also my back-up
plan. A hit music.
Actually, it gave me another idea. If my movie, god forbids,
doesn’t work then I can make a music video. Using the same music for a music
video. Recycling in a real sense. As we know that music is a universal
language. So it will be a musical film.
I have suddenly started feeling busy. I am already up for my
second project.
Now, I don’t know how to end this blog. Should I say THE
END. Or TO BE CONTINUED… ( with other aspects of the movie like location, time
duration, sets et al). Or A Movie, That I Will Direct Will Be Something Like
Something 2…
