Explore how AI tools can change the way storytelling is done
New Delhi,(AI-generated Bollywood scripts):We are in 2025, at a time in technology and entertainment where artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a thing of science fiction. It is now becoming a part of filmmaking, and Bollywood is no exception. Have you ever imagined that your next favourite Bollywood film script could be written not by a human, but by an AI? This dream could become a reality in 2025.
In this article, we will explore how AI tools can change the way storytelling is done, and how it can be applied in India with examples from global experiments.
AI and scriptwriting: A new beginning
AI has already revolutionised many sectors—be it chatbots, automated cars, or medical diagnosis. Now, it is making its way into the film industry as well. AI tools like ChatGPT, Grok, and ScriptBook can analyse data to create stories, write dialogues, and even predict the success of a film. For Bollywood, which makes hundreds of films every year, this could be a game-changer.
Global experiments: Lessons from the world
AI is being tried in filmmaking around the world, and these experiments could be an inspiration for India:
“Sunspring” (2016)
A short film in the US, “Sunspring”, was written entirely by AI. A neural network was trained on hundreds of science-fiction scripts to create it. The result? A strange but unique story, with dialogues that, though a little absurd, made the audience laugh and think. Bollywood could try this for masala films—where a mix of action, drama and comedy is needed.
“The Lion King” gets an AI touch (2019)
Disney used AI in its remake of “The Lion King” to improve animation and character dialogues. The technology was helpful in deepening emotional scenes. In Bollywood, where emotional drama is the soul of films, AI can write scenes that touch the hearts of the audience.
Use of Scriptbook
In Europe, an AI tool called Scriptbook analyzes scripts and predicts their box office success. It tells producers what changes should be made in the story. In Bollywood, where many films flop, this tool can guarantee hits.
Future of AI in Bollywood
In India, Bollywood stories are often based on themes such as love, family, revenge and sacrifice. AI can understand these themes and create scripts that suit the taste of Indian audiences. Here are some ways AI can change Bollywood:
- Faster script writing: An AI tool can do weeks of work in minutes. For example, it can present the story of “a poor boy falling in love with a rich girl” with different twists.
- Adaptation for regional cinema: By understanding the style of Tamil, Telugu or Bengali cinema, AI can write scripts for pan-India films.
- Powerful dialogues: AI can make dialogues like “Baazigar woh hota hai jo apni haar ko jeet me badal de” more powerful.
- Comedy and masala: AI can create punchlines and situations for Bollywood comedy films, like a new version of “Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, namukkin hai”.
Implementation examples in India
Historical drama: Suppose a film is being made on Chhatrapati Shivaji. AI can be asked to write the script based on historical data and audience preferences (like patriotism and action). It can create dialogues like “Maratha ka khoon gulaami nahi sahta”.
Romantic film: AI can add a twist to a classic Bollywood love story—like the hero suddenly disappearing and then returning in a new avatar.
Horror-comedy: Looking at the success of films like Stree, AI can create new scripts by mixing horror and laughter.
Challenges and questions
- While the use of AI is exciting, it also poses some questions:
- Will AI understand the depth of human emotions, which is the basis of Bollywood?
- Will audiences accept AI-written films, or will they dismiss it as “machine work”?
- Will writers’ jobs be at risk?
Time will tell the answer to these questions, but one thing is clear—AI can certainly act as a helper, giving ideas to writers and improving scripts.
AI-generated Bollywood scripts can become a big trend in 2025. This technology will not only save time and money, but also give rise to new stories that will surprise and captivate audiences. Learning from global experiments, Bollywood can adapt it in its own unique way. So, are you ready to watch a film whose hero is not a human but an AI? This question will be on the lips of every cinema lover in 2025.
