Writing and conceptualizing "ব দ ল" was an eye-opening experience that deepened my understanding of storytelling, character development, and cinematic expression. This project not only sharpened my screenwriting skills but also helped me reflect on the struggles faced by ambitious youth trying to break barriers.

• How to balance drama and realism while maintaining an engaging narrative flow.

• The role of visual storytelling in conveying emotions, ambitions, and personal growth.
