Love In the Time of Low Battery
epsiode 1
"Love in the Time of Low Battery"
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Setting: A bustling metro city, present day.
Tone: Light, humorous, and slightly chaotic.
[INT. METRO STATION – EVENING – PEAK HOUR]
Crowds rush past. A loudspeaker blares train announcements. The camera zooms in on a young woman —PRIYA, 24, in office wear, juggling a coffee, phone, and tote bag. Her phone buzzes repeatedly. Battery: 3%
Priya
(muttering)
Come on… just 10 more minutes. Don't die on me now.
Priya
She types quickly on WhatsApp:
“On my way! Just don’t leave. Finally meeting you after 3 months!!! 💖🥺”
SEND. She sighs in relief. Phone: 2%.
A young man — ARJUN, 26, slightly nerdy but charming — waiting outside a café near the metro exit. He's holding a small bouquet and looking at his phone:
Arjun
(to himself)
Okay, don’t look desperate. Breathe. Be cool. You’ve only been rehearsing this meeting in your head for 90 days, 17 hours and… (checks watch) 12 minutes.
Priya
Trying to push through the crowd. Her phone buzzes one last time:
Arjun
“I’m here. Wearing blue. You?”
BATTERY LOW – 1%
Priya
Blue? Seriously? Everyone’s wearing blue!
She frowns, scanning dozens of people at the exit wearing blue shirts.
Suddenly — PHONE DIES. Black screen. She gasps as if a limb has been cut off.
Priya stands frozen in crowd chaos. Her face = panic. "Mission Love" interrupted by low battery.]
“Love in the Time of Low Battery”
— Some connections don’t need full charge… just full heart.

Epsiode 2
OUTSIDE THE METRO STATION
[EXT. METRO EXIT – EVENING – CONTINUOUS]
Crowds are streaming out. Priya stands just outside, holding her dead phone like it’s a fallen soldier. She takes a deep breath, then starts pacing.
Priya
Okay. Calm down. Think. He’s in blue. You're in… basically a human traffic jam. Maybe scream? No. Desperate. Think smarter.
She looks around. A GUY in blue smiles. She walks toward him hesitantly.
GUY IN BLUE
No, but if I were, I’d say yes.
Priya
(eye-roll)
Great. City full of comedians.
Arjun
Still outside the café, now nervously checking his phone. He's typing a message.
“Where are you? Did I get catfished?”
Message FAILS TO SEND. He looks at signal. ZERO BARS.
Arjun
Oh come on! Not now, Airtel! We had a deal!
A CUTE WAITER pops out from the café with a tray and grins.
WAITER
Still waiting for the mysterious girlfriend?
Arjun
She’s real, man. Just...maybe stuck in an alternate timeline.
WAITER
You sure this ain’t a Tinder ghosting?
Arjun
(half laughing)
We met during lockdown, bro. That kind of bond either ends in marriage… or therapy.
Priya walks briskly, scanning every face. She stops to ask a POWER BANK VENDOR on the footpath.
VENDOR (points to a cardboard sign: “10 mins – ₹50”)
Special love discount: ₹40 if you cry.
Priya
I’m this close.
She digs into her bag for cash — finds nothing but toffee wrappers, a broken pen, and a metro card.
Priya
Ugh. No cash. No charge. No Arjun.
Priya reaches the café. She pauses, scans the crowd. No phone. No clue. Then... her eyes catch a guy pacing near the café, holding a bouquet. BLUE SHIRT.
They make eye contact. Both freeze. Recognition. Relief. Butterflies. No music, just city chaos fading into a warm moment.
Priya
(smiling)
Took you long enough.
Arjun
(half-laughs)
I thought you ghosted me.
Arjun
Typical rom-com timing.
Priya
We are a rom-com now.
He hands her the bouquet. She looks at it.
Priya
(teasing)
Roses? Really? So basic.
Arjun
Basic? These were the last ones left.
Priya
(grinning)
Guess they’re special then.
They walk into the café, bickering playfully. The screen fades out with light-hearted background music
[TEXT ON SCREEN]
Low battery. High connection.
So guy's here we go byeee
Epsiode 3
Mission: Find the Guy in Blue”
Location: Outside Metro Exit / Near Café
Time: Evening
[EXT. METRO EXIT – CONTINUOUS]
Priya steps out of the station, visibly annoyed, holding her dead phone like it's betrayed her. She scans the crowd – officegoers, students, couples, delivery boys — most wearing something blue.
Priya
(sarcastic, muttering)
“Wearing blue” he said. Why not just say “Look for a human with hair.”
A delivery guy whizzes past on a cycle, nearly knocking over her coffee. She jumps back.
Priya
Perfect. Why not spill coffee too? Let’s complete the romcom checklist.
She walks down the street, passing people slowly, studying each blue-shirted man like a detective.
[CUT TO: CAFÉ ENTRANCE – SAME TIME]
Arjun, bouquet in hand, stands nervously. He checks his phone again. “Last seen 5 mins ago.” He looks around. A guy walks by wearing a blue shirt. A girl smiles and runs toward him – it’s not Priya.
Arjun
(to himself)
Maybe she’s stuck. Maybe she’s ghosted me. Maybe I’m being ghosted in real-time.
OLD LADY (AUNTY-TYPE)
Beta, is this bouquet for me?
Arjun
(awkward chuckle)
No aunty. For someone else… if she ever shows up.
OLD LADY
Hmm. Good luck, beta. If she doesn’t come, I’ll be sitting there with my chai.
She walks off. Arjun sighs.
[BACK TO PRIYA – OUTSIDE CAFE]
She sees a café nearby. She walks toward it hesitantly. Through the glass, she spots a familiar side profile — blue shirt, slight nerd vibe, bouquet in hand, talking to an aunty.
Priya
(excited)
That HAS to be him.
She runs toward the door, pushes it — but it’s locked from inside. Wrong entrance
Priya
(frustrated)
Of course. Of course the universe makes me run in heels for love.
Priya
She goes around, finally entering through the correct door.
[INT. CAFÉ – CONTINUOUS]
Arjun is just about to turn and leave when—
Priya
Hey! Blue guy!
He turns. They lock eyes. There’s a weirdly long pause. A kid drops a plate in the background for dramatic effect.
Priya
My phone died. I almost asked a random guy if he was you.
Soooooooooo guys after that u know
Arjun
So… finally. The date. After 3 months of texting, memes, and missed calls.
Arjun
Maybe we charge our phones… later. Today, we just charge each other.
Priya
(grinning)
That was super cheesy.
Arjun
