The ultimate bollywood writers hunt has begun and they'll hunt each one of you down,
All you talented writers out there clutch your pens and grab you keyboards because this contest will exploit every extent of the 'filmy keeda' in your brain!

There is nothing in this country more captivating and magical than movies. We are undoubtedly a filmy nation, full of action, comedy and masala. High drama runs in our blood, starting from the scary stories we tell our kids to make them come home early, to the fantasy stories our kids tell us for coming home late. We are all storytellers. And we are sure there is a story in you waiting to be told. Stories that could turn into the year's most exciting film projects.
I can walk stories, I can talk stories, I can write stories!
Pick up that pen or sit at the computer and let your fingers fly on that keyboard. The story should be in English or Hindi. Could be any story, don't worry. Love story, crime story, children's story, political story, musical, courtroom drama. Art house, Masala or somewhere in between. Anything's fine as long as the story's good, and can be made into a great film. Would you like to see your story as a big film watched by the whole world?
