More of a reality flick, just as the promos suggest. More on the lines of Madhur Bhandarkar. :) But yes, the subject of the movie is the need of the hour. The target this time is the media. :) A good flick, not for entertainment really, more of a serious stuff. But quite gripping.The best part of the movie is, the more you try to predict it, the more it tends to differ.After a long time, came somethin better from Ramu. :)

Plot:


This is a story of an honest TV Reporter, Vijay Mallik(Amitabh Bachchan). He is the god of the media industry. He is created his own niche, and built a company of his own which sells news. His channel covers only which is true and a relevant news, absolutely no bakwaas, nothin will this channel show just to earn more TRP in order to earn big bucks for themselves. The result being, other channels are more popular than him, and the owners more richer than him. The character of his son is played by Sudeep (Jai). He represents today's youth, who is more ambitious, and is more interested in earning money. He often disagrees with his father's flow of work and questions them to change them.

Now introducing Purab(Ritesh Deshmukh). He is a wannabe reporter. And his guru is none other than Vijay. He someday wishes to work with him and fortunately gets a job with him as well. His girl fren is played by Gul Panag. Enough of heroes, now comes the villain. :D (Mohan Pandey)Paresh Rawal is a politician from the opposition party, and aims to rule the country one day. He conspired with Jai's Brother in law, (Rajat Kapoor) ,and industrialist for a big game.Rajat's personal interest being, to be the top industrialist of the country. Vijay has some more competitors, such as Amrish Kakkar(Monish Behl), who once used to be an employee of Vijay, but now owns his own channel.

Here from the real story begins. The conspirators targets Jai, who is the weak thread of all. He is short tempered and hence easy to manipulate. They show him a way to earn more money and beat the competitors in the market. He easily falls for it, and make use of his own father in the plot. Entire nation considers Vijay as an honest reporter, none can questions the news comin from him. His son makes use of the father to telecast a false news. To which the nation reacts, and the govt falls, resultin in new campaigns, and extreme benefit for Mohan Panndey. Amidst all these, Jai is screwed up with a murder case.

Purab smells somethin fishy, and starts investigating himself without anybody else's notice. And he finds out the entire plot behind. He trusts none else but the COO of the company played by Suchitra. Suchitra turns out to be disloayal to her own company. She sells off the news to Kakkar for her own benefit. When Purab gets to know the depth of all the issues, he stops trustin everyone. Meawhile, Jai is reignin on his success, he plans to marry his long time gal fren played by Neetu Chandra.

In the end, Purab starts hating Vijay itself, since he was in a notion, that VIjay started it all. Having no other tunnel, he approaches Vijay directly, and tells him everythin with the proofs he has collected so far. Vijay now is in extreme state of shock. He just cudnt believe his own son has used him. He goes and confesses all this in front of the media live. The entire new govt is once again shaken with MOhan Pandey being the ruler this time. Failing to cope with the entire stress, Jai suicides. Vijay not able to gain the confidence back again, and also not having the courage to face the world anymore, hands over the charge of the company to Purab, someone who he can trust.

There is practically no songs in the movie, only background scores, which at times get irritating. The flick is very much watchable and leaves u with a good impact.Amitabh as usual is outstanding :)

My Rating: 3/5
