SLOW MO - VARUN takes out the gun from his back pocket and
points at NOEL's heart

ZOOM OUT from GUN's barrel to MEDIUM SHOT of VARUN holding gun

VARUN shoots NOEL in a blink

A cool BGM starts slowly while VARUN walks away from the NOEL's
body

MEDIUM: MOVING SHOT OF VARUN FROM BACK WALKING AWAY

VARUN pauses. Aagi venakki chusthadu. Camera turn chesthe NOEL's

dead body undadhu. Malli camera mundhuki turm chesthe VARUN
place lo NOEL untadu.

different but only ONE.
