The storyline should strongly depict that the class of people who are accused and falsely implicated were responsible citizen and their past had always contributed to the development of the society.
2 stories of such instances could be shown.
One of a soldier who fights for the country and is ready to lay down his life for the nation. His wife stays with his old parents and create problems for them everyday just for the reason that she wants her husband back to lead a normal life, but the husband is dutybound for the nation. She gets frustrated and leaves the in-laws house in despair. Next day in Connivance with her parents reaches to the local police station to file 498-A case against her in-laws and her husband. Her husband is suspended from his duty until the case is resolved. This story strongly highlights the ignominy faced by patriotic family.
The other instance could be of professional family who always get their daughter married for want of money. this family has history of 498-a filed against husbands married to her earlier.
1 instance we can show about a woman who is really tortured by their in-laws for dowry and has a tragic end. But these in-laws manipulate the system (here we can highlight corruption) and ba-izzat bari kar diya jaata hai.
We have to fill in the gaps here about the scenes we would include. Strong ideation and creativity is required with rock solid dialogues. I am sure we will get the dialogues from the forums were we have real stories published.
Jinesh, let us start work on this and 25th December 2006 we would release this film. First Film to be premiered on the internet.
Guys pour in your thoughts

Guys, I was in Bangalore when 'media' students from an insititute "Commits" were taking video footage at Asha-kiran(group of activists from bangalore) and the next day exclusive interview with Bahrathi. For these shoots they used one cam which was in the range of Rs.40,000 and the Other was 1.5 Lakhs. They said the 40k camera have a good result too since its a "new generation" digital quality camera. So we also can buy the same cam(i will let u guys know the exact model/item number).
The whole movie of Kamalhasan "Mumbai express" was shot with a digital handycam! and nothing else, see the movie and tell what the shortfalls are- there was none when I saw!. So lets buy a good digital handycam , I am planning to buy one anyway and get the action on(but thats planned from dubai, so either I will get it when i go next or when someone comes from there, let me check this possibility while u guys too see what can be done).
But during screen tests of female artists we will have to get them sign a bond exempting us from any D.V allegations, at least until the completion of the film- after the film we will show them(the DV wannabe girls, if at all someone wants to try) what a whirlwind trip in life is like!.
Lets write our future comments on this topic at http://toothteysitare.blogspot.com/ so that we do not inconvenience other email recipients, who are not interested in this project.
Suhail for active participation from "script-writers", I would suggest that you make whoever shows interest as a "moderator of the blog"(this option is in all blogspot blogs, in the control panel, ask me if in doubt) so that he also can create a post/edit a post etc. (and not just post comments on to an existing post which you create). Just give it a thought , this I think is best way of collaborative writing without much paraphernalia.
The main thing is to make the film like "Sarkar", Art, Message and Populism balanced! or like "Black" where Art and Message was not "much" compromised for commercialisation or populism but it still found acceptance/financial success(its very important to create self-sustaining movies, so that we can storm the world with more and more, if its funded from our reserves the quality and quantity of follow-up films will be suspect)-we can do it, Impossible is Nothing
