The log line does nothing for me to be honest. All it tells me is that there’s a bloke in a prison.

I think you’ll need a little more than that to pull people in.

Problems with the first line.  You tell us he is a retired police warden, but to the viewer, it is just a guy.

Maybe fix that by dressing him in some sort of uniform.  Clarify his identity at the outset.  The story plays out better that way.

Not much meat on the bones here, and it goes where we suspect it is going.

Fine for what it is, but maybe give Naveen more to do than plead.  If he were unrepentant, for example, his fate would carry more resonance.  Since you're playing with flashbacks, maybe a quick flashback revealing how he even wound up where he is could add an additional layer to this story.

You've got the space in this quick story to add something quick and unconventional to the proceedings.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!
