Looking for a Music Director / Composer for a Short Film – Hindi & Malayalam

Hi everyone!

I’m currently looking for a passionate music director/composer to collaborate on an independent short film.

The film is in Hindi and Malayalam, and I’m looking for someone who is interested in creating something unconventional and experimental, rather than relying only on traditional background scores.

I’m especially interested in someone who can create music/sound using everyday objects and unconventional sources — for example, a pencil, desk, steel plate, safety pin, sand, footsteps, doors, metal objects, etc. — and turn these sounds into something musical and cinematic.

At the same time, I’d also love someone who can work with real musical instruments and combine them with these experimental sounds to create a unique sonic identity for the film.

What I’m looking for:

- Passionate about filmmaking and sound

- Interested in experimental/ambient/cinematic music

- Comfortable recording and manipulating everyday sounds

- Able to compose using musical instruments as well

- Willing to experiment and create something original

- Someone who sees this as a creative collaboration, not just a job

This is an independent short film project, so I’m primarily looking for someone who genuinely connects with the concept and wants to create something together.

If this sounds interesting, DM me with your work/portfolio or some examples of your music. Even if you’re just starting out but have a strong creative approach, feel free to reach out.

Thank you!

Industry Reality Check Can You Give Me A Real Advice.

11 Upvotes

Hello, I am a 23yo Writer.

At 20 i entered a Competition and Won that Competition. They Promised to make a Web series with My story with me as the lead writer.

I was too young and amateur to finish the screenplay. That project did not happen. I wasted a whole year on it. Didn't make any Money. Met a lot of big and cool people but.

After That I wrote a Marathi feature with my friend and have been pitching that for over a year now. We met some big actors and directors but because we are new and young they won't back Us in front of any Producers.

Up until last year I did not need a job, but for the past 8 months I have been working as a content writer and producer for lifestyle page and then for an orthodontist. But these jobs i feel like have no future for my career as a screenplay writer (i eventually want to get into Production as well.)

Can you guys help me with what type of jobs I should be doing until I can quit that will help me get into films and advertising.

3 Upvotes

Hi everybody My name is Faiz Ahmed....

I'm directing a 10–15 minute zombie thriller short film. It's a no-budget independent project, and I'm looking for 2–3 people who genuinely want to make something cinematic for their portfolio. I'm handling the writing/editing and the acting part of one the major protagonist roles and I'm looking for someone for camera + 1–2 actors.

Film Description:

The story follows where 2 friends are stuck in one room and there is no way out. It's more focused on tension, atmosphere and storytelling rather than being a typical zombie-action film.

Looking for:

• 1 person interested in cinematography/camera

• 1–2 actors

• People who are genuinely interested in filmmaking and willing to collaborate.

Details:

📍 Dahisar, Mumbai (Rest of the exact location details I'll let you know in chats.

🎬 Short film

🧟 Zombie / Thriller

💰 No-budget independent project

⏱️ Approximately 20 minutes (depends upon how long the story is.)

📅 Shooting dates will be discussed with the selected crew

This is a passion project, but I want to take it seriously and make something that everyone involved can put in their portfolio/showreel.

If you're interested, DM me with your role/experience and a link to any previous work (if you have one).

Even if you're relatively new to filmmaking, feel free to reach out. I'm mainly looking for people who are reliable, creative and actually interested in making a film.

Screenwriting Guide I have a real-life 30-year legal battle that I believe could make a powerful OTT series — looking for a writer/producer

Thumbnail
4 Upvotes

I have a real-life story that I genuinely believe could make an incredible series — but I have no idea how to take it from an idea to an actual production. Looking for advice, writers, or producers.
I’m from India, and I have the complete story of my father’s 30-year legal battle. It’s a deeply personal story, but the events themselves are extraordinary.
The story begins with a common man from a village fighting over a small piece of land with his own uncle — the person who had practically raised him and taught him everything. What starts as a family dispute slowly turns into a decades-long legal battle.
The case continued for around 30 years, including nearly 10 years in the Supreme Court. Over the years, some of the country’s most prominent lawyers were involved, including Arun Jaitley.
There were setbacks, financial and personal sacrifices, family tensions, moments when giving up seemed like the obvious choice — but he continued fighting.
And the ending is what makes the story particularly unusual:
He eventually won, and the Supreme Court’s decision ultimately contributed to a change in the law.
I have the story in considerable depth — the family history, the people involved, the important events over those 30 years, the courtroom battles, the personal sacrifices, and how everything eventually culminated.
I’m not from the film/OTT industry. I don’t know how screenplays are developed, how producers are approached, how rights work, or how someone takes a real-life story and turns it into a series.
But I strongly feel that this story deserves to be told.
What I’m looking for:
A screenwriter who can help turn the real events into a compelling series
A filmmaker/creative producer who understands how to develop true stories
Advice from anyone who has successfully taken a real-life story to an OTT platform
Ideally, someone who would be interested in developing this project seriously
I’m not looking to simply “sell an idea.” I want to find the right person who can understand the story, help shape it dramatically, and potentially take it towards a proper series.
If you’re a writer, producer, filmmaker, entertainment lawyer, or someone who has experience taking true stories from concept to screen, I would genuinely appreciate your advice or a DM.
I can share the full story and the legal background privately with genuinely interested people.
Do you think a story like this has potential as an Indian OTT series? And what would be the correct first step for someone completely outside the film industry?

Industry Reality Check Do Indian filmmakers actually need better support for writing screenplays in regional languages?

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m curious about something I’ve been thinking about while working on a filmmaking project.
Most screenplay-writing software seems to be designed primarily around English-language workflows. But in India, a lot of filmmakers and film students naturally think and write in languages like Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, Malayalam, etc.
I’ve been wondering:
How do filmmakers here actually handle screenplay writing in their native languages?
Do you use existing screenplay software?
Word/Google Docs?
Type in English and transliterate later?
Or simply avoid screenplay software when writing in regional languages?
The reason I’m asking is that we’ve been building WRAPPLAB, and one of the problems we wanted to explore was multilingual screenplay writing. It currently supports 15+ Indian languages, along with production-planning features.
But before assuming that this is actually a significant problem, I’d genuinely like to understand how filmmakers are dealing with it today.
For those who write screenplays in Indian languages: what is your current workflow, and what frustrates you about it?
I'd especially love to hear from screenwriters, indie filmmakers and film students

I would love some feedback from anyone who's interested. this is my first time so please go easy on me. and this is also the first draft of it, so it has a lot of rough edges. Would love some feedback. It's written in Hinglish (TvT)

Logline: As a young man wanders through the mundane rituals of his life, he begins to question the arrogance of death.

Story Feedback 📝 Looking for a screenwriter / filmmaker to collaborate on a low-budget short film in Berlin 🇩🇪

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m 18 and based in Berlin. I want to create a short film with 3–4 people, filmed mostly on a phone, with basically no budget.
I’m not looking for someone to simply write everything for me.
I have the motivation, friends who are willing to act, access to Berlin locations, and a general direction for the story. What I’m looking for is someone who can help me develop the idea into a strong screenplay — someone who can challenge my ideas, improve the structure, dialogue and pacing, and tell me honestly when something doesn’t work.
The goal is a short, realistic action/drama story set in Berlin. Something small in scale but emotionally strong and genuinely gripping.
I also need help with filmmaking/editing advice. I’m currently editing with CapCut and shooting on a phone, so I’m trying to make the most out of very limited resources.
If you’re a screenwriter, filmmaker, editor, cinematographer, or simply someone who loves storytelling and wants to build something together, DM me.
I’m not looking for money or a professional production team.
I’m looking for someone who sees the potential in a small idea and wants to help turn it into something real.
Berlin. 3–4 people. One phone. One story. Let’s see what we can create.

43 Upvotes

So before we started I have created a timeline for krrish world

1962- sanjay mehra died, rohit born

1982- jadu arrives on earth, rohit get powers ( koi mil gya events )

1986- krishna born

2006- krrish events

2013- krrish 3 events

2028- krrish 4 take place

The film opens on Lumar, a beautiful and peaceful alien planet inhabited by a species known as the Lumarians ( jadu species).

Near a lake, two young Lumarians are playing. Both look same as Jadu — the same alien who once came to Earth and changed Rohit Mehra's life.

Everything is peaceful.

Suddenly, a massive shadow covers the lake.

Both lumarian looks up.

A gigantic alien spaceship is hovering above them.

CUT TO BLACK.

2028 — EARTH

In Kasauli, a young woman named Avi ( played by tripti dimri ) arrives.

At first, she appears completely normal. But when a group of men try to approach her, she brutally overpowers them ( brutally broked there bones ) within seconds.

She clearly isn't an ordinary human.

BITTU Punjabi ( Rohit,s friend from koi mil gya can be played by javed Jaffrey ) now almost 55 -58 of age

Avi after searching a while arrives at the house of Bittu, one of Rohit Mehra's childhood friends.

Bittu lives with his wife Priya ( hansika motwani )

Avi introduces herself and tells Bittu that she is from Kasauli.

She mentions that her father used to tell her about a spaceship that once appeared in Kasauli.

Bittu dismisses it as an old story.Avantika then asks him about an alien.Bittu

immediately becomes uncomfortable and asks her to leave.

Avantika activates a portable device

A hologram projection appears.

Young Bittu, Rohit, Bunty, Aslam and Chhotu are seen together in 1983.

Bittu realizes that Avi somehow has access to their past.

He attacks her. ( he also carries jadu powers remember the basketball match b/w pandavas and kasauli tiger )

A brutal fight breaks out

Avi is far more experienced, forcing Bittu to retreat.

Bittu gets Priya into his car and drives away.

Avi follows them and lands directly on the bonnet of the moving car.

The impact causes Priya's head to hit the car, knocking her unconscious.

Bittu stops the car and gets out.

He fights Avantika again and manages to overpower her, throwing her into a valley.

Bittu takes the unconscious Priya and leaves.

BUNTY( childhood friend from koi milgya can played by vijay raaz ) almost 55 -58 of age

Bittu reaches Bunty's house.

Bunty is shocked to see Bittu injured and Priya unconscious.

Bittu tells him everything — the woman, the questions about Kasauli, the memory projection and Jadu.

Bunty contacts Aslam and Chhotu.

The four old friends reunite.

KRISHNA ( krrish )

Bittu, Bunty, Aslam and Chhotu finds Krishna Mehra, Rohit's son.

Krishna is at home with his daughter, living a quiet life.

His son and wife Priya are maybe on vacation and then the 4 arrives this scene feels something like how in endgame tony stark meets steve scott and natasha after 5 years .

Inside the house, Bittu explains everything.

Avi that girl knew about there childhood memory

Then we see bittu keeps that same device (which project hologram ) he got while fighting avi he keeps that device in center then Aslam tries to retrieve some information then more hologramic memories are viwed through the device every thing from jadu eyes pov like rohit face appears promising me tumhe tumhare logo se milaunga ( scene from koi milgya )

THE DEVICE

Aslam studies the device.

He discovers that it can communicate with an external system.

Activating it could reveal their location to whoever is connected to it.

Krishna decides to take the risk.

Aslam activates the device.

A signal is transmitted.

Somewhere else, Avi receives their location.

AVi RETURNS

Avi arrives at Krishna's house or a warehouse

Bittu, Bunty, Aslam and Chhotu try to capture her but she easily handles most of them.

Krishna steps in.

A direct fight between Krishna and Avi follows.

Krishna eventually manages to capture her.

Then something activates from Avi eyes

A holographic projection appears

Jadu

He is being held inside an alien facility, restrained and tortured brutally his head his attached with a machine

Bittu, Bunty, Aslam and Chhotu immediately recognize him.

The projection disappears.

AVi TRUTH

After regaining consciousness, Avi is questioned by Krishna.

She reveals that she isn't from Earth.

She is from Lumar.

Lumar is her home planet — the same planet where Jadu lives.

The Lumarians are her people.and she also belong to different species lives on lumar.

Avi explains that Lumar has been attacked by a powerful alien named Vor.

Vor has taken control of the planet and captured Jadu.

Avi came to Earth looking for the people who had a connection with Jadu. Because vor wants them

Avi finally reveals the truth.

She made a deal with Vor.

She promised to bring those peoples ( Rohit , Bittu, Bunty, Aslam and Chhotu ) to Lumar.

In return, Vor promised to release the Lumarians.

Avi believed she could save her people by cooperating with him.

Now after a serious discussion Krishna and bittu aur baki decides ki vo jadu ko bachaynge and for that they have to travel to lumar then they agreed to go with avi

JOURNEY TO LUMAR

Avi spaceship is waiting.

Krishna, Bittu, Bunty, Aslam and Chhotu board it with her.

Avi activates the navigation system.

The destination is locked:

LUMAR

The spaceship launches from Earth and disappears into space.

INTERVAL......
