Synopsis: As the news of a bomb explosion in the Muzaffarnagar area spreads, two leading news agencies, India 24 & Headlines 24/7, deal with their respective ratings and content to attract more viewers and boost advertising revenue. Purab Shastri is hired by India 24, managed by Vijay H. Malik, while the other agency is run by Amrish Kakkar, Vijay's former subordinate. Purab, an ardent admirer of Vijay, changes his views after the later dramatically exposes Prime Minister Digvijay Hooda's hand behind the explosion, and starts to gather evidence that may end up implicating Vijay and the agency.

Bigger place...

Bigger thoughts dad...

See you in the office dad.

See you mom.

- Bye...

On 10th of next month will be the wedding.

Just today we spoke about it.

Did you hear what I said?

You didnt hear what I said.

Long live Mohan Pandey...

Long live Mohan Pandey...

Dad Mohan Pandey

has reached for Oath taking...

The stage isall set for you

to present India's next Prime Minister.

Dad... Dad...

Long live Mohan Pandey...

Long live Mohan Pandey...

These are the 2 eyes of India...

One is the Hindusand

other is the Muslims...

If you see with only one eye...

You will see

an incomplete picture...

And if you see with hateful eyes,

the vision will be hazy.

If we want this country

to make great progress...

It is necessary that

both it's eyesare open.

And not only open...

It shouldalso be oozing

affection and brotherhood.

I want to make it

clear to all of you that...

I am going to create a new

identity of this glorious country.

It won't be create

with tools of corruption...

It will be carved with tools

of Truth and solid intentions.

5... 4... 3... 2... 1

Sir, we are on air.

Sir, we are on air.

I have always believedthat...

...the face which you see

on television is of 'Trust'...

...is of Truth...

But today I am sitting

in front of you to admit something...

On 21st November

I hadtold you all...

...a very dirty lie.

Alie, which caused Digvijay

Hooda's Government Dismissal.

All I can do now is...

show you all a few pictures.

In these pictures you will see...

...the real Truth of my lie.

This person is the same Khanna

that I repeatedly kept asking...

..."Who is Khanna?

...Where is khanna?"

And now watch the same Khanna.

What happened darling,

Why are you sittingall alone by yourself?

KHANNA...

Khanna was neither Dubey's man...

...neither Digvijay Hooda's.

Khanna was my own son...

Jay Mallik's oldfriend...

These pictures were shot...

...when Khanna and my son Jay were

studying together in America

Our Channel, India 24/7...

...kept asking again andagain,

"Where is Khanna?"

...Who is Khanna?

While all along Khanna was

actually my Son's oldfriend...

He was my own Son's oldfriend.

Now watch few other facesand

other faces of this conspiracy.

What do we gain by exposing Pandey?

Few days of great TRPs... yes our channel

will once again become number one.

...But...

500 crores of Rupees...

I opened my mouth and

asked what I wanted.

But think about it...

...Why would Pandey

Give me so much money?

...Why?

...because even the smallest

kick back of a large project scam...

...runs into thousands

and crores of rupees...

Nandita...

...Now if the PM of the country...

...turns out to be a smart player...

...just think how much he will make in the

5 year test match. - Nandita come soon...

I, Mohan Pandey,

swear on God almighty...

That I will honor...

That I will honor...

the constitution of India...

One minute please...

Mohan Pandey wantedto become

the Prime Minister of this country...

Naveen Shankalya

wanted to become...

...this country's

biggest Industrialist.

Amrish Khakkar was just taking

an advantage of the opportunity

And Jay Mallik...

Jay Mallik wantedthat...

India 24/7 to become

this country's number one News Channel.

This is the story of these

selfish characters of this plot.

If you are watching

me right now...

...understand clearly that...

...you have betrayed only me

and not the country...

It is me who has

betrayed our country.

In this entire conspiracy if

someone is guilty... it is me.

It is me...

Me.

All this became possible

only because of one medium.

Because of misuse of one medium.

That medium is called India 24/7.

My own channel.

India 24/7.

What Jay did wasan extremely

codemnable act.

He did it knowingly and

I did it unknowingly.

But was the reason for it?

First there is the Government...

Then come the Industrialists who

produces wealth for the nation.

...andthen the politicians.

Some from Ruling party and

some from opposition.

It is their basic duty towards

the common man of this country...

to maintain a stable

and well defined system.

So that everyone can progress

without any fear or hindrance.

But how well are these responsible

people fulfilling their duties?

How will the common

man come to know...

whether these people are

fulfilling them or not?

For precisely this very purpose,

Media was born.

But when the Government

andthe media...

...in the race to achieve power

strike a deal amongst themselves...

Newsare no longer reported...

but created.

Then whom shouldthe public

place their trust on?

On the News channels?

Who instead of reporting newsare

dishing out stories of snatching power?

Where Instead

of reporting serious facts...

...sensationalism is being sold

for the sake of TRP?

In a Democratic Nation...

...everyone has the right to

look after their interest.

But we the Media people...

...have given up our right

to be unbiased voice of truth...

Why?

Why have we changed our role?

Who will report... which news...

in what manner... and be the first...

All the newspapersand News Channels

are competing with each other in this race

This race is not about

just surviving in the News market.

But a race to prove themselves to be

faster than others...

...remain ahead of others...

This has morphed into a Race,

whose aim is Success v/s Money.

To remain ahead in

this race one requires...

...more and more

viewers... high TRP...

...which translates into

high Advertising revenue.

More money...

Here their true objective

should have been 'News'...

...and medium should

have been money.

Instead of that now Money

has become the objective...

...andthe news merely the medium...

By punishing me... my son...

andthe other characters

of this conspiracy...

...will merely finish one chapter,

not the problem.

Till we do not keep a

noble organization like media...

...away from Power,

Greedand Money...

Many moreJays will keep

coming into existance.

Since it is we who

create systems...

It is we who possess the strength

to change the prevailing conditions.

For past 30 years

I have been fighting this battle.

...but haven't been able to win it.

I couldn't win.

But Purab...

I want to remind you...

That it is you...

...who has shaken up

the entire nation...

...have stopped one wrong step

from prevailing.

You understandthis firmly

that you have not lost.

You are victorious.

...and the victory that

you have achievedtoday...

It is your duty to uphold it.

...your duty...

From India 24/7...

...with sincere apologies

and deep regret for all...

I, Vijay Harshvardhan Mallik...

...am signing out for the last time...

...am signing out for the last time...

Greetings!

Jay tell me what was

the needfor it?

Jay tell me what was

the needfor it?

What am I...

what am I supposed to do?

Could you please tell me?

Tell meJay, tell me...

speak up... tell me.

Jay, leave my hand...
