Narrator
🎭 Scene 1 – Classroom (1 min 15 sec)
Narrator (soft, emotional tone):
In a small engineering college, somewhere in South India… sat a young dreamer—
his eyes full of hope, his heart heavy with fear.
(Ambitious Student stands nervously with a paper model. Professor sneers.)
Ambitious Student (shaky but hopeful):
Sir… this is my prototype—a self-driven vessel designed to clean our rivers…
monitor pollution… and protect our environment. I believe… we can save our
rivers.
Professor (mocking laugh):
Save rivers? With that? (Scoffs) Son, this is real life. Dreams like yours sink before
they float. Focus on your exams instead.
Ambitious Student (voice breaking):
Sir… isn’t this what engineering is for? To create solutions… where none exist?
Professor (cold):
Solutions need money… and power. Neither of which you have. Sit down.
(Classroom laughs. Friend looks on with concern. Ambitious Student swallows his
tears.)
Friend (whispers):
Don’t give up… One day, someone will see your fire…
🎭 Scene 2 – College Bench (1 min 30 sec)
(Ambitious Student sits defeated, sketches torn. Tata walks by, notices, and sits
beside him.)
Tata (gently):
Dreams look heavy on you, young man. What’s troubling you?
Ambitious Student (half-smile, lost):
Because they are, sir. I dared to dream… to clean our rivers. But the world sees it
as a joke.
Tata (smiles softly):
Do you know what’s rarer than dreams? Someone who dares to chase them.
Tell me… what if I said, I believe in your dream?
Ambitious Student (chokes up):
Why… Why would you believe in me, sir? I’m nobody.
Tata (warm smile, voice deep):
Because once… I was a nobody too. Someone believed in me… and it changed my
life. Today… it’s my turn. Show me your design. I’ll fund it. Not out of charity…
but because this world needs your dream.
(Ambitious Student breaks down, tears flowing.)
Ambitious Student:
Sir… you don’t know… what this means. Thank you… truly.
🎭 Scene 3 – Prototype Presentation (1 min 30 sec)
(Time skip. Ambitious Student presents a working model. Tata watches with pride.
Audience silent, moved.)
Narrator:
And just like that… a dying dream found its wings.
Ambitious Student (emotional, voice steady):
This is not just a machine. It is the result of belief…
Belief that when the world turns away, one act of kindness… one moment of
faith… can change a life.
Sir, you didn’t just fund my project… you revived my dreams… and me.
(Turns to Tata, voice full of gratitude.)
Tata (gentle):
And one day… you’ll do the same for someone else. That’s how we build a better
world.
(Friend claps hard. Audience follows. Emotional pause.)
🎭 Scene 4 – Closing Message (1 min)
Narrator (emotional, powerful):
Charity… is not just about donating money.
It is about uplifting others, supporting dreams, and spreading kindness.
Mr. Ratan Tata has shown us that true success… lies in giving back to society.
As students, we too can learn from his example…
We can make a difference… no matter how small.
Let’s carry this message forward…
In every small act of kindness,
In every moment we choose to lift someone instead of walking away.
Because that… is what truly changes the world.
(Lights fade. Final line on screen: “The true measure of success… is what we give
back.”)
