PROFESSOR BUKHARI
(smiling)

Assalam-o-Alaikum students! Aaj hum aik naye safar ka aghaz karte hain.
Journalism aur Mass Communication sirf ek field nahi, ek jazba hai, ek zimedari
hai. Har kisi ko yahan apni pehchan dhoondni hai.

MAYA
Talking to herself

Pehchan dhoondni hai...

Thinking deeply...

ALI
Whispering to ayesha

Yaar, ye sab lecture ki baatain mujhe documentary ke tarah lagti hain. Real
world mein kuch aur hi hota hai.

AYESHA
(smiling)

Ali, tum kabhi bhi serious nahi ho sakte na?

SAMEER
Sitting at the back focusing on his camera

Hmm.. aj ka subject kuch interesting lag raha hai

PROFESSOR BUKHARI
Noticing Sameer

Sameer, kuch share krna chahoge?

SAMEER
Jee Sir, bas yehi soch raha tha journalism sirf reporting tak hi mehdood nahi,
yeh ek nazariya hai, ek mission hai.

PROFESSOR BUKHARI
Bilkul sahi kaha. Aur isi mission mein hum sab tumhare saath hain.

and discuss their day.

maya

(seriously)
 Har insaan ki apni story hoti hai, Ali. Journalism un kahaniyon ko samajhne aur
unhein duniya ke samne lanay ka tareeqa hai.
ayesha

(scrolling through her phone)

Social media pe followers badh rahe hain, but kabhi kabhi lagta hai ke asli
passion kahin kho raha hai.

SAMEER
(joining in)

Passion aur duty ka balance mushkil hai, lekin zaroori. Isi mein asli challenge
hai.

MAYA
(looking at everyone)

Sabko apni apni kahani likhni hai. Aur humein mil kar likhni hai yeh "Kal Ki
Gunj".
INT.PUNJAB UNIVERSITY.LABS - NIGHT

Maya is working late in the lab, surrounded by old newspapers and files. She
discovers something shocking about Professor Bukhari's past.

MAYA
(whispering to herself) Yeh toh kamaal ho gaya... Professor Bukhari ka itna gehra
raaz? Yeh sab ko batana hoga.

Ali enters, curious about Maya's late-night work.

ALI
Maya, itni raat ko kya dhoond rahi ho?

MAYA
(hesitant) Ali, mujhe kuch mila hai. Yeh Professor Bukhari ka raaz puri
university ko hilaa dega.

haq hai.
