Commercial Script: Genie in a Lamp

Scene begins in a bedroom. A man, Luv sits on the bed, and is evidently stressed while scrolling through his phone. 

Next to the bed is a dressing table with a mirror. Adjacent to the dressing table is the washroom door.

We can see his wife, Mira's back portion. She seems to be freshening up.
Luv scoffs and sighs.

Faint sounds of the song  “Kusu Kusu” can be heard from the bathroom. Mira's voice over it, singing the same lines - “Kusu kusu” - can be heard.
Mira steps out of the washroom, into the bedroom and sits across her husband

Mira: I love this song! And Nargis Fakhri - god! What a piece of art!
Luv distractedly replies, while the phone screen’s light illuminates his face:
For sure, for sure.

Mira rolls her eyes and walks towards the dressing table.
She looks at her husband, he still looks stressed. Her expressions soften.

Luv looks up and feels like he let her down. Mira sits down at the mirror and begins applying some lotion.
Mira: What are we doing for my birthday tomorrow? I honestly just want to keep it low key. I know you’ve had a long week. Let’s just go for a quiet dinner, na?
Luv begins texting. The chat pops up on screen.
Luv sends: Bro, this is the second birthday I’m messing up!
Friend (Ajay): Now, only Nargis Fakri can save you!

Typing noises.

“Sent” notification tone.

Received notification tone.

Luv is annoyed.
Mira looks at him, chuckles and leaves the room.
He rubs his phone and tosses it on the bed.
Pcchh!
Wife chuckles

Luv whispers to his phone: Do something man! Abra ka dabra!
The man looks away but is drawn by the golden + blue lights around his phone.
Suddenly the light comes together to form a genie. He has a funny expression and begins talking.

Luv is totally confused and stunned

Genie rolls his eyes and with a background of whimsical sounds.
Genie: I can grant you any wish you like; 
One, two or three!
I’m your one true friend, so your problems are mine,
So make your heartiest wish and set yourself free!
Luv: WHAT?!
Genie: Make a wish, silly!

Luv stands up and looks at the genie nervously.
Man: Well, can you give me a birthday wish from Nargis Fakhri?
Genie: Aye Aye!
Genie disappears and the phone flashes a light.

Luv looks at his phone.
Phone notification tings. There is a notification from HeyHey.

Happy music slowly takes over.
Cut to the next day at dinner. Mira is overwhelmed.
Birthday message from Nargis Fakhri plays.
