For general information on forming a logline review the Formula tab at the top of the page.
First of all, there’s too much background and extra ?description and not enough specific description of the plot.
Basically, this is the story: “a film receives an award for being the best Hindi film of the century, but no one claims the award. Intrigued by this fact, an enthusiastic film journalist embarks on a journey to find out what happened to the maker of this classic ”
No one claims it? A lot of people work on a film. Producers, directors, actors. Not a single person claims it or explains what happened? I assume you’re referring to the director of this film, but no one? How old is this film?
Anyway, how is “an enthusiastic film journalist embarks on a journey to find out what happened to the maker of this classic” represented visually on screen? What would we see? Where does he journey to?
Your logline boils down to:?After no one claims an award for best Hindi film of the century, an enthusiastic film journalist goes on a journey to find the makers of the film and find out what happened.
But I am questioning the logic and credibility of the premise.
Agreed with Dkpough1, the premise stretches believability. Perhaps you could specify the writer or director as the central enigmatic character who faild to show?
More so, the reason for the journalist to find the missing person/persons needs to be more compelling. To raise the stakes, could they have been a familymemberr of the journalist?
