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!



Likh de India!!
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?

Yeh form hum ko de de, thakur!
The forms will be available from April 12th, 2008 onwards, and can be downloaded from this website or collected from any of the retail outlets* mentioned in this website.

Kahani abhi baaki hai dost!
The submitted stories should be 1000 words (3 pages) to 3000 words (10 pages) long. All stories should be typed in a font size of at least 12 and should have a beginning, middle and an end. (The main characters should be briefly defined during the course of the story.) The story, along with the duly filled registration form should be submitted to the Mirchi Movies office in Mumbai.

Kitna inaam rakhe hai Mirchi Movies hum par?
Puray Dus lakh!
All submitted stories will be reviewed by Mirchi Movies' audit process. The top 50 stories will be handed over to a panel of esteemed judges including Boman Irani, Aziz Mirza (Director- Chalte Chalte, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Yes Boss, etc.), Kamlesh Pandey (Writer- Rang De Basanti, Tezaab, Chaal Baaz etc.). Based on your talent, the three best stories will be awarded 10 lakhs, 5 lakhs and 3 lakhs rupees respectively, while the next 25 best stories will be given 5000/- rupees each, as consolation prizes. A select number of top stories would be developed into feature films, with the writer getting due credits in the respective film.

Tarikh pe tarikh... tarikh pe tarikh...
Aakhri tarikh... barah tarikh...
The hunt for great stories begins on April 12th, 2008 and ends on May 12th, 2008. Results will be announced by June 2008, and the prizes would be given at a grand function organized in Mumbai.

I'm surely going to join and i also posted this for all the other talented writers so that their talent can be recognized!
