Of course, you don't have to stuff all of that into your film's opening but understand that your audience is expecting, and certainly needs, some information to get an idea of what they've got themselves into. Within the first few minutes of your movie, you should be able to introduce your protagonist (or even the antagonist if that's the route you want to go), provide information about their character, communicate their goals/fears/flaws/etc., as well as establish the themes of the overall story. They do know what to expect.or they at least have expectations that your intro is going to tell them who and what your story is about. Now, I know I said your audience doesn't know what to expect, but that was, I guess, kind of a half-truth. "Establishing elements of the story really is the purpose openings have to serve." Intros Should Also Be Informative There are so many ways to do this in the first few minutes of your film: provide an unexpected twist like in Lord of War, juxtapose a beautiful landscape with ominous music to set an uneasy tone like in The Shining, or just go for complete absurdity like in Monty Python's The Holy Grail. Given that they don't know what to expect, you've got the element of surprise right there in front of you, so you can always try to show them something they've never seen before. How are you going to capture the attention of someone who has undoubtedly seen hundreds of intros before? All they want is a chance at a better future, and Borade is a perfect beacon.There's gotta be a pull, right? Your viewer has just gotten comfortable in their seat, whether it's in a theater or their living room, and they're ready to be wowed.or at least intrigued.or at the very least given a reason to not get up and find something better to do.
What’s nice about their portrayal is that even though they have such tough lives, they are not begging for sympathy. Some of the kids have mothers who work as domestic help in big houses, leaving them to their own devices - picking rags, collecting waste. This motley bunch, all cocky and heartbreakingly worldly-wise despite their youth, is the best part of this film, which makes us work hard for its sweet spots over its infernally long three-hour runtime: you are in danger of falling out of the movie even before you’ve properly got into it. The ‘slum kids’ are clearly waiting for a saviour, and who better than veteran sports coach Vijay Borade (Amitabh Bachchan), on the verge of retirement from the local college? He turns his gaze towards this underprivileged section, and beefs them up enough to take on the la-di-dah kids, and to be invited for a world championship league in faraway Hungary. The gatekeepers literally shoo the residents of the neighbouring slums away from the rarified grounds of St John’s College, because they do not want any proximity with the young people who spend their days doing ‘anti-social’ things like sniffing glue, pickpocketing, chain snatching.
