Rahana 1984 | Hindi and English language teleplay thriller Directed by Suchet Singh Budon

The story of a billionaire Willard Shephard who is on a mission to save his friend Mandy. The story is set in a troubled 1984 in India. Mandy is a beautiful young woman who is married to Sikh billionaire George Santoshi during troubled political times in India after the assassination of Prime minister Indira Ghandi, there is civil unrest and murder on the streets and in the homes of innocent Sikh Indians. Written and Directed by Suchet Singh Budon and starring Jason Newbold, Stephen Neal, Neharika Shahi, Navdeep Manga and Manisha Nagar. The historical context requires great respect as the murderers of thousands of innocent Sikhs need to be brought to justice, and the criminal and sinful murders and atrocities took place in Delhi and many parts of India on 31st October 1984 and at further places and dates following that. Our fictional movie only touches on those real historical events. The production of Rahana 1984 short movie also had some difficult drama - it began a 3 day filming schedule in late January 2019 during a filming break from the production of another feature-length movie we are making. We filmed Rahana1984 in 4k and used a Lumix GH4 camera and various Lumix lenses, with various other adapted modern lenses and vintage lenses. While we chose this upsetting subject of 1984 during the writing stage, as a background for this fictional story involving the Vietnam War hero Willard Shephard. The filming was smooth but there were soon going to be issues with the post-production of Rahana1984 itself, because of the problems that COVID-19 lockdowns soon brought into the world, causing further delays to post-production. We also required further budget and costs for Rahana1984 to complete the then complex special effects and green-screen compositing sequences for the movie. It was a slow process during editing, VFX and sound production, that only became faster and more possible when Apple computers created their powerful M1 MAX MACBOOK PRO systems. Which we then took advantage of and used for the post-production to complete Rahana1984 in MAY 2022. Rahana 1984 cinematography, direction and soundtrack is by Suchet Budon.

(Beautiful keyboard music) (The sound of a busy street in a town) Billy? Yaar? Next year... Mandeep and I... ... Are going to visit L.A. for your wedding. i want to speak to you about something.... I'm worried about my Paa... I'm going to take him to New York there's a specialist there that i know can see Mandeep. I know Willard has the best intentions at heart ... but ... She won't go there. I tried Yaar. She won't leave her parents here George you're the richest guy in the country! Just take
the parents with us. It'll cost you nothing They won't leave. I tried Yaar. It's that kind of Indian stubbornness... that gets you guys in trouble. It's this kind of thinking that keep us together and strong. George in case you haven't noticed the recent  events outside... Your people are being killed and the police are doing nothing I wish i could do something I'm moving my dad out of here today. He's on the coach with the nurses I'll be gone for a few days Hey Jaswinder is it? Well you're mi
ghty fine! What do you say, when this is all over, we go for a walk under the mangrove trees? i like that... Huh... What time is Willard coming? I don't know. He does what he wants, when he wants! That's me!!! Hey Willard you will have a long life! We're just talking about you and now you've just appeared What's this about me having a long life? in this country if you talk about someone and they appear it means they have a long life. Superstition I guess. That's the kind of superstition I like
. Maybe i could invent some kind of gadget ... that makes me appear whenever people talk about me Yeah Will - because we can't get enough of you as it is. HEhehe! (Laughs stylishly) Billy. It's your incredible sarcastic wit and  your good nature... that made me hire your sorry ass to come work with us. This is like our good old days in Harvard My friends and i together Hehehehe! (Masculine stylish laugh and giggle) (Scary music plays - which is in stark to the happy tone of the previous scene)
i've been keeping up on how Mandeep is doing with her treatment She looks better Will she's going through a good phase Buddy yes but Billy was saying.... Iknow what Billy was saying Do you agree with him what if there is no other way? I can't authorize it but Will... it will save her life You don't know that for sure Can't think of any other way Then think harder. My conscience won't allow me to do what you are suggesting. We can get a donor. Hell we could buy a donor! Don't you take that blas
phemous tone with me boy! I'll kick your sorry ass from here to Bombay i need a coffee - You want a drink? Coco. Get me a coco. Will - Can you please consider it? No I will not take a life to save a life. It's illegal ... It's immoral … And it's a sin. Please Will. What if we get a donor? there's a reason that experimenting with embryos is illegal. George we could probably buy anything we desire but there are some things i will not be involved in Will - I don't want to lose her we'll save her
using a different treatment Yes We'll continue with the  treatment that I have suggested And Billy You will stop suggesting  bullshit ideas to George Hey take it easy Will! I'm not one of your employees I am hired as a consultant And I will treat you with the same respect  as i treat everybody So shut your mouth! i'm going to check on Mandy I'll be with you in a moment God damn it!

He's fine he's not a Sikh he's fine this is your war he's a Catholic. He's fine Our God will look after us he's fine there's nothing wrong with him he's fine (Breathing heavily - then laughing crazy) he's fine (Continuous crazy laughing) How are you Mandeep Ji?
