Kickass #Storytelling Made Easy,

with legendary #Bollywood movie @DDLJ.

Dig in to discover the framework: Image
Stage 1: Expose character, setting and conflict Image
Main #Character: Raj - A happy-go-lucky college lad who doesn't take anyting seriously Image
#Setting: Comes from a rich family, single dad, father also who is unexpectly proud at his son's failing at graduation Image
#Conflict: There need to be two opposing forces in a story to make hero a hero. In the moview DDLJ, the conflict was between traditional family values v. modern family values. Raj v Simran's dad. It's necessary to show Villain equal or stronger than hero. Image
Also, the trailer of villain's strength should be shown in exposition stage itself. as shown with beer stealing incident in the movie.
#Conflict Momentum. There need to be a sequence of events to show conflicting nature of 2 forces. The movie does a great job at this by showing two parallel yet exactly opposite worlds. Image
World 1: Raj's world, easy going, open, more freedom less discipline

World 2: Simran's world, highly disciplined, less freedom, whatever the head of family decides only that happens Image
Stage 2: Rising Action Image
Raj wants to get married to Simran. He attempts but fails. Everytime he fails, he gains audience's empathy. Image
When villain's wife approves of Raj and says Simran's dad would never approve of it. The purpose is to show how strong the villain is. (kyunki maza tou tabhi aayega jab hero tagde villain ko harayega) Image
Stage 3: Tipping point, Climax Image
Stage 3: When Simran's dad discovers about Raj and Simran's affair. And, Sharukh khan leaves without Simran, apologising to everyone. Image
Stage 4: Falling action Image
The fight that happens at railway station. The more Raj sheds his blood, the more empathy he gains from audience. Image
Stage 5: Resolution Image
Simran's dad lets Simran go with Raj with an epic dialogue - "Jaa Simran Jeele Appi Jindagi". Ultimately the hero managed to resolve the conflict and win over such a strong villain. Image
@karanjohar did a wonderous job to the plot and direction! @DDLJ is legendary. We can always draw inspiration from great works.
