As we have done in the past, this year too we are trying to source the scripts of some of the best bollywood films of the year. As most of you know, the scripts of Hollywood films are easily available online, even the unreleased ones. But we don’t have any such database of Hindi or Indian films. So that has been the primary reason for this initiative. And it has been possible only because some of the screenwriters and filmmakers have been very supportive about it. It’s only for educational purpose and much like the spirit of the blog, is a complete non-commercial exercise.
To read the scripts of best bollywood films of last few years, click here. From 2016, script of Neerja is here, Kapoor & Sons is here, Pink is here and Raman Raghav 2.0 is here. And sharing Udta Punjab in this post.
Abhishek Chaubey’s Udta Punjab was easily one of the best films of the year. It captured the wide spectrum of the dark and depressing world of Punjab’s drug scene. The script written by Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Chaubey didn’t pass any judgements on the scenario of the characters but made them humane by looking deep into their environment. And yet, they smartly packaged it well to keep it in the space of mainstream bollywood.
Happy reading!
