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.

story on Encounter cops...

...insightful...

...and brilliant...

hey. Hey

...I wont say 'Best of Luck' to you...

...more than luck...

...you seem to be a person who stands

on his confidence. Ok... AII the best...

Jay every show hasa unique identity...

...I am afraid if you stretch it too

far it will lose it's effect...

...and I am afraid that India 24/7

might shut down...

If we Don't do somethingtoday...

...tommorow we might not get

a chance to even do anything...

...Dad, I know your principles very well...

...Keeping them in mind

I have plannedall this... and dad...

...every one is quite convinced...

...that these changesare

fantastic for India 24/7.

Fantastic...

Dad... Don't mind me saying this but...

...along with principles...

...people are workingfor us...

...and should we not look after

their salaries too dad?

Trust me dad...

we are not compromising...

Just changing a little bit...

that's it...

...just a little...

...Jay I do not agree with your changes... but...

...we got practical problems...

...see as long as we do not compromise

on india 24/7's principles...

No way dad... no way...

...no principle will be compromised...

...I can assure you that...

- are you sure?

Super sure dad...

I mean, every show has

their own recognition.

...and what you propose to do might

reduce the effect of the show...

...Its a matter of needand not effect...

but if it is not effective

how will it fulfill needs?

In order to increase the viewership,

if we play with our existing shows...

...then we will even lose the

viewership that exists now...

How longago

did you join this industry?

What difference does that make?

To know these things...

...one doesn't always require experience.

I accept that I am new to the industry...

...but have been a veiwer

since a long time...

you mean to say...

...I do not understand things here?

...is that what you are tryingto say?

- No no...

...you know better than me...

...but you are seeing only

what you want to see...

Why don't you just shut up?

Don't forget you are just

an employee in this channel.

...andto speak against us...

One minute... Please Don't think of

my disagreement as my disloyalty...

I know... that I am just an employee...

maybe you might not believe me...

...but I too am keenly interested...

...in the progress of

India 24/7 as much as you are...

I said whatever I've to say.

...let Dad decide.

Jay is right...

Is there anything else

you wish to say?

Lots...

But will it make a difference?

- No.
