Jabdo - (Tit For Tat)

Jabdo | (Tit for tat)
Scene 1/ Tea Shop

Tarak was lost, lost in his thoughts, sitting in isolation, with his friendRajib at the Chay
shop.
[Angular mid shot of Tarak ]
[Close shot of the Tea Pouring]
Tea seller serves them two cups of overdone dark brown tea in an aluminum tray. Tarak,
all distracted, suddenly shudders! He sees his ex- Monica serving the tea! Blinks and
sees again To his disappointment, it was the tea seller.
He smiles wide and offers a full cup.
Rajib: Whats wrong?
Tarak: I am experiencing weird visions lately. You know about me and Monica, right?
After she dumped me bad, you wont believe whats been happening...
[CUT TO FLASHBACK]
In the flashback we find Tarak being haunted by his ex wherever he is. He wakes up in
the morning and finds (irritably shocked to find) her getting out of the bathroom just
when he was about to open the door. Finds her in the closet holding a red balloon and
wearing red lipstick as he opens the closet door to get a fresh shirt. He slams shut the
closed door in terror. He goes out for grocery shopping. Finds his ex at the fish counter,
selling fishes. As he opens the washing machine lid to put in his dirty cloths, his ex pops
out from inside the machine. Finds his ex sitting in his bosss chair in the office. Tarak
rushes out of his bosss cabin to find out everyone in the office is standing wearing red
shirts, red lipsticks, carrying red balloons, and scaring each other by enchanting words
like memories nostalgia anniversary dating etc! Tarak gets shit scared and shout
out Nooo! in despair
[Cut to Real Time]
(Real time/tea shop/ Tarak and Rajeev)
Tarak seen sitting miserably with his hand on his forehead.
Rajeev- take this visiting card. Shes a famous shrink. Will get rid of these snags in a
jiffy.
Tarak sees the card which reads Dr. Ghurni Ganguly/Cutcupid Ganguly (Break up
specialist)
Scene 2/ Doctor Gangulys office
The nameplate - Dr. Ghurni Ganguly/Cutcupid Ganguly
Tarak enters the chamber (The room description). Tells the doctor of his issues.
Tarak Please give me a remedy from all this.
Doc Turn on the Bluetooth
The mobile phone flashes on receiving Bluetooth transfer
Doc- Now play it
Tarak plays the received file sunraha hain na tu, ro raha hoon main
The song gradually engrosses Tarak and he gets lost in his thoughts.
Scene 3/Montage
Tarak was sleeping, the alarms starts to ring loudly- plying soon raha hain na tuu
Tarak brushing, the calling bell rings, playing the same song.
Tarak - Coming!
Tarak enters(returns) the room with a newspaper in his hand.
The begger in the bus stand whines sun raha hain na tuu
Tarak hands him a coin. He gets into an auto, the same song is playing in the music
system.
Inside the office canteen, people singing the song in chorus, all faces reflecting the
comically intense pathos of the song.
At night Tarak sees Namo saying in the TV Mitro, is gaane ko rashtra sangeet banana
se hi acchhe din ayenge (tagore ne to waisebhi jana gana mana angrezo ki payr chatne
ke liye hi likhata)
Tarak falls asleep. This song keeps circulating in his head.
Scene 4
Tarak moves ahead to stop a cab.
Tarak Will you take me to Salt Lake?
Cabbie- (Animatedly moves his mouth and hands, but Tarak can hear nothing but the
soon raha hain na song coming out of his mouth)
In the office, boss calls Tarak, hands him over a file, seen blasting at him but Tarak can
hear nothing other than
As he leaves the chamber one of his colleagues try to console Tarak after being shouted
upon by the boss, but Tarak only hears the song.
Street. Tarak kneels down to coax a stray dog.
Tarak- I am now as good as you my friend.
The dog barks in response, but to the tune of soon raha hain na tuu
Tarak starts to run in awe, shock and fear, keeps running; graphical notations of soon
raha hain na tu are seen chasing Tarak.
[CUT TO]
Shrimp Chamber
The doc holding an x ray plate. When she held up the plate against light, we see the
lyrics of the song written in it (same way the skeletal image are seen in x ray plates)
Doc- You have to stay away from this song for a few days. (Snatches the phone away
from him)
Tarak- Just like how poets cant live without poetry, producers cant separate casting from
couch, how can a lovelorn live without this song?
Doc Dont get excited, come with me.
[Cut to]
DVD room
A room full of various DVDs. Tarak wears a big ass headphone (shot similarly following
the original Shobdo action-direction of the similar scene)
A Tagore song is played.
Tarak Noo!
(Tunir maa/or some other low brow pop song is played)
Tarak shakes his head in disapproval.
Many songs are played one after the other and Tarak keeps his censorious head shaking
on. He starts by mumbling a feeble no, which evolves into a loud shriek of Noooooo!
Tarak I cannot take this anymore. Please let me listen to that song again. Atleast once
before I die. Soon raha hain na tuu.
Doc Ok, but only once.
Long shot. We can faintly hear Suun raha hain na tuu, which becomes clearer as the
camera closes in slowly. Gradually we see both the doctor and patient getting into a
trance of this song. The continuous repetition of the tune brings them to a feverish
enchantment.
[Cut to]
Street
Tarak and Doc are seen walking around in the street. Their countenance bears the signs
of mental instability. As the camera zooms out from them, we get a wider view of the
street, full of people, wearing headphones, head-banging in unison to the tunes of ro
raha hoon main.
Fireworks in the background, forming Happy Valentines day in the sky.
