The Blue Blood Cells

(we can show red color being merged with blue to give an essence of our theme.. red blooded to blue blooded beings)

‘All characters and events in this play- even those based on real people are entirely fictional, all celebrity voices are impersonated – poorly. The following act is highly confidential and due to its content should not be viewed by anyone. Amen!!’
(in a black screen, with typewriter fonts and blinking cursor at the end)

ACT 1 (Duration 1 min approximately)
The Driving Policy

Cast: ……..
Costume: 70’s American style(that 70’s show for reference)(all flashy color, yellow, pink, green, red; with florescent shine that add to the cast’s cheerful personality) maybe one character can be a little oddly dressed, fat clumsy look with a sardar turban but well shaved to add to the mockery)

Scene
3 dudes are riding a bike, cruising at 200km/hr speed(virtually , probably we need to keep the bike stationary and ask the cameraman to move back and forth with hair blower blowing the bikers long hairs to give an equivalent impression.)(the bike need to have flashy color and match biker’s exuberant personality, but not overdone)

(the head movement of the riders is in well defined sideways movement, there jaws apart in excitement, painting a careless but confident outlook(jim carry in ‘what is love’ video. One of the guys has 60 s music system on his shoulder. ( those long clumsy ones which gives a vague impression of its antiquity)

song being played: cocaine by eric Clapton or whatt is love or…

( the scene at the back is moving…giving a clear impression that its being shot in a studio, a fakeness that will attribute well to its character).

The bike stops. All three gets down at once and do a dance step..maybe something like a john Travolta(or rajnikant timeless style of wearing the sunglasses) or to add more masala (bollywood style) something from mithu’s “I am the disco dancer”. (one of actor’s clumsiness in dancing to make a little funny.)

Its sequel

Anurag(cant think of someone better to represent company’s driving policy) he is sitting well tucked in the front seat of the car, ( maybe add an extra belt i.e.2 to add to its mockery, seat at 90deg position, wearing his favorite blue color shirt, well creased and stripped pants and chappals(some habits die hard; lol) and an irritated driver(at the person along for the ride but otherwise relaxed and confident attitude) (one belt tucked in and well dressed). Cast is panicked and is constantly pushing driver to drive within limits. Conversation ( subject to change when we shoot)

Anurag: hey don’t u see the truck infront…maintain the distance..(may be include some famous lines from SMMART driving, needs to be checked)
Then we zoom in the camera and slowly show that the truck is infact many miles away (like a little speck, and not a single car/ pedestrian to be seen anywhere.)

Then we can zoom out to show the car is driving at not more than 25km/hrs and the infamous driving policy sticker pasted auspiciously on the car deck.

To add to the masala we can show a cycle rider overtaking the car and watching in utter amazement and ridicule at it.

Driver is indifferent. The panicking actions of the commuter continues ( but not overdone so that it doesn’t look too fake)

ACT 2(Duration 1 min approximately)
The IT security policy.
Cast: someone fat or someone extremely thin, carrying a nerdy look and disheveled attire
Costume: t shirts with Einstein face or carrying some nerdy lines and ¾ and chappals.
Scene
Group of friend (all tech savvy) sitting in a park/garden (their hub) – one of them boasting how he had hacked the national security site(something like in movie Die Hard, we can try to have similar conversation as what Bruce Willis has when he walks in the so called hub of the hackers in the second half of the movie) and created mayhem, another friend saying he hacked an email account and make a fool out of one his friend etc. later they carelessly leave behind the laptops in the park as they move on to check out a girl (shephali ) running in the park.(later we can show sandeep stealthily stealing one of the laptops)
The sequel
One of the pervious cast(who hacked the national site) walks out of the car, holding his laptop within his arms(clutching hard, even more than his future wife, lol) and looks anxious ( with suspense at everyone around) flashes his ID at front gate. Following gate opens and it has a security code, nervously punches it..following gate opens and it’s a eye scanner and then a fingerprint recognition. Maybe we can even add blood sampling, urine and stool tests.

Finally he reaches his desk, (a small room with dim yellow lights, with picture poster of IT policy at all the walls; and yeah maybe we can have those florescent kindergarten wall colors like the ones we have at the conference rooms)

Then the cast takes out his laptop( a sly look, and a concerned attitude towards it as if its his baby.) he cautiously puts it on his desk,(maybe peek below the desk to make sure no ones around) and then takes out his mahavir lock and chains the laptop numeral times. After locking it, he calms down(maybe he can enact to show that his nervous fiddling slowly fades away as he enters one after the another security area).

ACT 3(Duration 1 min approximately)
The College scene

Cast:

Costume: defined in the scene

Scene

Dude walks in the class, 15 mins or so late.. an ongoing class, the professor meticulous writing some quantum physics equation on board(something that always baffled me in my first year) (classroom of those iitm first yr(huge yet simple rooms with wooden chair and desks and rickety fans, making those squeaky sound at its rhythmic rotations,….. some magus on the front seat copying hard, middle seat of perplexed anxious people (hard to grasp a single word the professor has said or wrote) then the back benchers, all cool dudes, some half asleep, some glued to their mobile and others reading novels or playing those timeless cross and circle games or solving crossword or other newspaper games. (Professor: one of those sexually deprived egoistical and self obsessed ones; not tucked in shirt and crushed pants and those ageless black sandals and well grown bread, maybe use anurag for this).
A watch in the class( those 60s watch, its past well preserved in its appearance) can be shot in the starting of the class and then when cast walks in i.e. 15mins late( crushed Metallica t-shirt and ¾ ) and chappal, a careless yet confident appearance).

He walks in and nods at the professor … and a shrug of shoulder by the professor (well versed with the subject’s attitude towards the lecture yet indifferent to his walking late to the class)

The class continues as normal, the subject takes a back seat pulls over his favorite novel( the last lecture, maybe).

Then may be one of the students from front seat asks an intelligent question, impressing the professor. The perplexed yet jealous nature of the middle bench and the indifferent attitude of the back bench (can be shot especially of alwar).

The sequel

Alwar ali: well oiled and combed hair, white shirt and black pants ( one of those accountants looks, and yeah a cashama, (literally, one of those 60s ones, black round and thick ones)

He is sitting on the front seat and the instructor is writing something as basic as 2+2=5 or maybe the great Newton’s first law and alwar is meticulously copying on his thick notebook.(we can have some blue and back ink pens markers and pencils at the desk and he is underling while he is preparing his futile notes (to show his absorption in what is being taught), maybe he can ask an utterly stupid yet funny question, with a great sense of pride to add to his dim-witness.)

ACT 4(Duration 1 min approximately)
The sexual harassment policy

Cast: Raoul
Costume: White shirt with tight balls clutching black jeans and aviator sunglasses and his favorite safety boots, lol.

Scene

Raoul walks down the bike and he does that hand movement gesture of SRK from movie ‘kal ho na hao’, song ‘mitwa’ and the girls throng him( need to decide on the number) and then he walks down confidently( like the abhishek bachan in the movie bluffmaster)
Song “

The sequel

The pillar against which our dude is sitting has the picture poster of sexual harassment policy. Something which is its complete ridicule like “if u happen to be caught looking eye to eye with the girl u will be get a warning letter”; or some other punch lines) he is working hard at something on his computer and a girl(who is his mentee) walks to him (not so pretty yet smart) and asks our dude a question(maybe on quest or why perception test results don’t reflect on lms) and he (with his eyes dropped to floor) in a unconfident manner stammers the answer.(the girl walks away annoyed with the subject). Earlier we can show him eyeing the girl while sitting at his desk(need to work on the plot to make it more interesting)

ACT 5(Duration 1 min approximately)
The great safety policy.

Cast: a brawny guy in a welding shop.

Costume: subject wearing a washed torn denim and is topless

Scene
Metallica playing at the back, “nothing else matters”).. Carlsberg beer at his desk as he carelessly smokes while he works on his welding to cast a beautiful piece, an abstract piece of art. (Need to show his indifference to safety.)

The sequel
The guy is well tucked in PPE, well buttoned to top with safety glasses, while he is attending one of the numerous safety meetings. Subject attentiveness to what is being said shall be shown. After the meeting he walks down the stairs and slips down.

Conclusion:

3 people(or the whole cast) sitting around a round table, dark room with only one bright yellow light overhead. (of those 70’s show plot). Room is filled with smoke and everyone is high on dope.
First cast (absolutely sloshed): ‘some vague comment, absolutely absurd and incoherent thoughts, like Nietzsche or Plato lines’
Anurag (in a very serious note) : ‘ some funda about the great company he works in and how proud he is and how he wont mind to die incase its required to save it from people who taint its holy image’.
Raoul(blinks for a while, a dumb look, thinks and then utters) ‘ dude u know what, that girl was hot”

Later while they have one of those stupid laughs amongst themselves we can show them thinking of (a blue bubble raising above his head) “a beautiful girl in blue coverall, sitting and reading something…, the first shot will be a long range shot showing only her face and then the camera zooms in, showing that she is wearing a helmet and reading slb policy beneath a SLB SQ poster.”

Closing Comments:
We believe that we are not bringing down the reputation of company and demeaning it's staggering status ..naah...u know what, our attempt are like a pebble thrown to the mighty ocean; there's a splash...but hardly noticeable. .the greatness of ocean still remains.. if something has its own status then ‘one’ person cant really shatter or bring it down...

The endeavor was to show how one’s life and attitude changes dramatically before and after he starts his work life and no way the team wishes to demean anyone or the organization principles or thoughts.

The attempt was a sincere step towards understanding Indian youth psychology and how its changes its course in its mid 20’s.

(maybe here while its is being played we can have the cast kneeled down and taking arti of the company’s photo and the song ‘om jai jagdish’ being played at the background).

The End!!(the old hindi movie style, all cast hand in hand with chin to chin smiling faces)
