My name is Radha Bhargava.

I am a journalist with Awaaz Bharati News.

Today, the Editor of Josh 24/7

Dipankar Sanyal, said that I am a traitor!

He was lying.

Opposing the Government is not opposing the Nation.

A true patriot is one who

is ready to fight with anyone for the sake of the Country.

Even if it is one's own Government.

I, Radha Bhargava, is a patriot.

And I am ready to fight with anyone for the sake of my Country.

The questions raised on Operation Umbrella

will have to be answered by them at any cost.

For this...

If they want, let them put me in jail, today.

But not my voice!

Because this is Julia's, Yours... - And all of our voice!

Jai Hind!

Yes Ma. - How are you, my child?

Have you got up? Happy Birthday! My child.

Thank you, Ma.

Ma, can I talk to you later?

How long will you remain silent, Radha?

You can't change whatever has happened.

Here talk to your uncle. - No, ma, please ma.

Happy Birthday!

How are you? - Thank you, uncle.

I am fine. How are you?

I am fine but I miss you a lot!

You come to Indore.

I will.

Surely you come this time.

We all miss you!

And happy birthday once again!

Enjoy! - Thank you, uncle.

In the matter of investigation of City Glitz Mall fire,

Home Minister Shri Atul Shinde

has set up a high level investigation committee.

City Glitz Mall is the Mall where

due to a sudden fire in the Arabian Night's Restaurant

14 people died.

Among the dead, along with Citizens Today Magazine's

Investigative Journalist, Julia Alvares

and a famous pastry Chef, Gaurav Ghai

there were 5 women and 3 children also.

Celebrity Chef, Ghai

was a very popular Judge of India's top Chef Programme!

Ms.Julia Alvares, an alumni of IIMC

was honoured in 2017 for the story of Punjab's Cancer Trace

with Ramnath Goenka award!

Though in the allegation of violation of fire safety regulations

the police has taken the owner of the mall Mr Madhusudan Awasthi

under 14 days of Judicial Custody

but the preliminary report of the Fire Department

indicates that this fire is not an accident but a sabotage.

Good morning, ma'am!

Wish you a happy birthday, ma'am!

Thank you. - Accident, criminal negligence

or else sabotage.

Now what is the truth About City Glitz Mall's fire?

This only the time can tell.

But because of this fire, this Country has lost two

talented professionals, Gaurav Ghai and Julia Alvares.

This truth will never ever change.

This is Dinkar Goel, from Awaaz Bharati News!

She is soon going to be Youth Affair Minister.

Ok sir. - Gulnaaz Khan.

Sir.

Have you seen it? - No sir.

Good morning, sir. - Shoot.

1 pm Production meeting. 2 pm conference call with the Chairman.

Post that we have a request from Ms.Gulnaaz Khan for a meeting

at about 2:30 pm at her office.

Gulnaaz Khan? I wonder why!

Sir I think one of her MMS... you know.

Of course, you know.

Confirm the meeting but in our office.

And let her wait.

Good morning boss!

Not good morning, I need a good week.

Search and retrieve whatever dirt is there on Gulnaaz

I want to stretch the story till the Friday.

Ok boss.

Media Ethics Conclave at about 3 pm.

Post that we have a very important Delhi Bureau Review meeting at about

I know I told you that 4 to 6 pm is Aahna's state swimming championship!

Sir that championship was yesterday.

I had left a reminder also on your desk.

Sir... sir. - What?

Sorry, this envelope, Arunima ma'am has sent.

Thank you. - Happy birthday ma'am.

I told him, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you!

Very cute but please tell me you have not told anyone in the office.

Thank you so much, Kamal and you are such a sweetheart!

If you can't say all this then at least don't doubt.

And to answer your question, I have not said anything to anyone.

Till now, the office people think

that you were born on 2nd October, madam.

Thank you, K. You are such a darling K.

Ok tell me whether you like chocolate cake or pineapple?

Why? - HR team asking.

What is your lead story today?

2022 CBSE topper, Shravan Kumar's suicide.

Will the story be made without discussing Shravan's homosexuality?

It won't be made, Amina.

Why should we not discuss his sexuality?

The child has passed away.

If we show his sexual preferences at prime time

think about his parents. - His parents?

As such thousands of such children's parents

have to suffer the same in future.

How our society treats homosexuals

if we don't talk about it today Amina

today there is one Shravan Kumar and tomorrow there will be many.

Think about it.

Radha -Peer pressure.

Social isolation

the after effects of lockdown on vulnerable youth.

We can explore all these trigger points in our story.

Fuck the trigger points.

The chicken is dead and those who ate it didn't enjoy.

If you serve mutton, chicken without adding butter and spices

forget eating, you won't feel like smelling also.

Shravan Kumar is no more. Will you kill his story also?

Gay boy's parents

his boy-friends, their tears... where are those bytes?

Without that how will you decide whether it was murder or suicide?

Sir autopsy report says that.. - What's your name?

Sir, Anuj. - Ok.

Sir Anuj.

This Country's

100 crore uneducated people don't read the autopsy report.

What we say becomes the News. Understood?

Yes sir.

So first cook the News.

Cook it well and then serve. - Sir

What?

Sir Shravan's parents don't want to talk to the Media.

Breaking News, sir Anuj!

Ever since their Shravan passed away

Shravan is not just theirs alone.

Do you understand?

The entire Country has a right to know as to what happened with him.

So I am leading with this story tonight

and if I don't get his parents' bytes before 8

Sir, you will get them.

Good... next. - MLA from Bandra

Gulnaaz Khan MMS. - Exactly!

Is trending a lot! - Of course.

Even though it is 20 years old, after all it is a sex video!

The question is

Are we a porn site?

No but..

Is Gulnaaz Khan doing something illegal?

No.

Is she doing something which you and I are not doing or

the men in the room don't do?

But...

It is good for TRPs.

Gulnaaz Khan's colourful nights!

MLA's sex life exposed!

Such headlines can get us more TRPs.

Do we want to do this story?

Sorry MLA ma'am.

Hope you didn't Have to wait for long.

I got stuck in an edit meeting.

So many explosive news and time is so less, you know how it is.

Don't do it, Dipankar.

Don't.

Don't do what, Gulnaaz?

You know you have some fake videos of mine.

Some fake videos!

Well I have just one, but there are more like this one?

Fake videos?

Dipankar, that is my personal MMS.

But you belong to the Country, Gulnaaz!

I can get you arrested for privacy invasion.

What you refer to as privacy invasion, I call it patriotism.

People have the right to know about their MLA.

As such the MMS is in public domain!

What has the Country got to do with my past sex life?

Why you are making the News? - TRPs.

I am not just delivering the News.

I deliver TRPs too!

You are despicable.

I agree, sometimes yes!

But let's not discuss me.

Your situation is lot more serious.

People have already entered your bedroom.

And now you will have to enter their drawing room.

And for that you don't have a better platform than Josh 24/7!

I am anyways doing this story.

What's to be decided is with you or without you.

See you at 9 then.

Not doing this, Dipankar.

Praful. - Sir.

There are more videos of Gulnaaz, I want all of them today itself.

It will be done, sir.

My story has bounced today.

What? No

I am not so sad that I will bunk Bansal's party!

My inner Helen is waking up!

I will call you back.

What is the status of the Surecure hospital story?

I am working on it, Radha.

I am hearing this for the past one week.

Look if you are not interested then I can give it to someone else.

No Radha, I want to do it. - Then just do it.

Yeah. - Yeah.

Ok, I want to see the footage of City Glitz Mall's fire again.

Sure. Yeah, let's go.

You have only this much footage of that night?

It was rush hour and so it took us 45 minutes to even reach the Mall.

But you must have seen something, I mean anything out of the ordinary.

The entire location was cordoned off.

Whatever vantage points were there

Josh 24/7's cameras were already placed.

Apparently, Akhil Kapoor was supposed to come..

Yes and they wanted some scoop on his new look!

Before you ask 3 teams from Josh were waiting there since morning.

So Josh has all the footage?

Sir Anuj, where are you?

At Shravan Kumar's house, sir.

They didn't even know that their son was Gay.

Is it? - Yes sir!

His mother started crying.

I don't think we should use this footage, sir.

This crying footage always becomes a big hit!

But you won't understand.

It's not in your zone!

Are you giving this story to someone else?

No..No.. your good luck is good!

The prime-time story has changed.

I have sent you a WhatsApp.

Ahmed Bilakia.

He lives in Juhu.

You meet him and come.

You give him my reference. - Ok sir.

Hi!

You started smoking? - No.

You want a job?

Never. - So then?

City Glitz Mall fire tapes.

Josh 24/7 has exclusive footage.

And I missed the story in that footage.

Maybe?

And why should I give you the story that I have missed?

It's not a story of your interest. - No.

Even then why should I give it to you?

Because you started your career from Awaaz Bharati.

And -Whatever may be the reason

you left Awaaz Bharati.

But we all know that you are a true journalist.

I know that you will go to any extent to get a good story!

This angle doesn't work. Let's try once again with

a more personal, emotional touch like

begging for something?

Dipankar, I genuinely need that footage.

And I will be really obliged if you give it to me.

Please. - Perfect!

Thank you.

No, not thank you, but you look very nice when you say please, good job!

So you will be giving the footage, right?

Actually come out of the college canteen.

The outside world doesn't work on ideals but works on deals.

There is no free lunch.

Check the entire City Glitz Mall's footage once again.

You guys have missed something

and send a copy of that to me, the entire footage.

Ok sir!

And I want Gulnaaz's MMS urgently.

Radha, where were you? - Why?

Walk with me.

There is a change in today's line up.

We are not leading with the Shravan Kumar story?

No. - Then?

Today TRP and VIP both are with us.

Ready?

Gulnaaz... Radha!

I have sent you a WhatsApp. It is a sixer, sir!!

Sure shot.

Yeah, we just want to -One sec.

Radha. Namrata.

Something urgent.

Namrata, what is it? We are on standby.

What? Guys Gulnaaz is missing.

What the fuck!

How did she go just like that?

Don't know ma'am, I had gone to get coffee.

Only 5 minutes are left.

Gulnaaz's phone is switched off even now.

Shit!

Guys! - Yeah!

Guys! - What?

Check this.

But she came to us on her own.

She was saying that she won't apologise.

She wanted to stand up for her rights.

Instead now she will play a victim card.

She will apologise. - Not Gulnaaz.

She is a strong woman. - But that Dipankar is a ruthless man.

What will we do? Only 4 minutes are left.

Let's lead with Shravan Kumar's story.

Good idea!

No, I think we should stick to the Gulnaaz story.

Without Gulnaaz? - Before Gulnaaz’s apology.

This story was necessary only for Gulnaaz.

But now it is necessary for every women!

Now Amina we must surely do this story.

But...

Let's do it effectively. - Let's go, come on.

See how frightened she looks!

Come on, come on guys, focus.

Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen

You are going live in front of 30 crore people.

What will you tell them?

That people will forget your sex MMS and remember you?

What? Dipankar -Six, five, four.

Without dying one can't reach heaven, Gulnaaz.

One. Go!

Greetings, I am Dipankar Sanyal

and you are watching Josh 24/7!

I am Amina Qureshi and welcome to today's Awaaz Bharati.

Today in our studio, Bandra's MLA

Women's right activist and Feminist

Gulnaaz Khan was scheduled to come.

Not to give explanation about the MMS which is being shared in digital media

But the right which a woman has over her body

The right to one's own body

to give her opinion on that.

But what happened at the very last moment

that she was compelled to leave her fight against her rights?

What was the compulsion?

Did you make this video under someone's pressure

No

I made this video at my own will.

Why?

I was 18 and immature.

I aspired to become an actress.

And I was willing to do anything to further my career.

And now?

Now..

I am ashamed.

I am ashamed of my mistakes.

If your private moments become public

then you will feel ashamed.

You will feel hurt.

At that very moment if you are asked to give an explanation

Or asked to apologise, how would you feel?

I have made a mistake.

And the first step to reform one's mistake

is to accept one's mistake.

You are absolutely right, Gulnaaz!

To accept the mistake is the first step towards reformation.

And the second step?

Gulnaaz Khan's video is her own personal property.

If someone is making it public

then we must investigate that person and not Gulnaaz Khan.

Gulnaaz, people of this country want to know

what your second step will be?

Will you still become the youth minister?

No.

I have decided that I will become a minister only when

I become worthy of that.

Who has erred and who is getting punished?

Just think, if a strong person like Gulnaaz Khan

Is made to be embarrassed like this

then what will happen to ordinary people like us?

Till then I will continue to serve Bandra and the Bandra constituency.

And I will try my level best to prove my worth.

Today Gulnaaz is defeated.

Tomorrow it will be our turn.

This is not just Gulnaaz's personal issue, but it is a question of our rights.

The right to love, the right to our bodies!

Tonight I have only questions.

And the answers are around you.

Your daughter-in-law, daughter, mother, sister, wife

or else ask your girl-friend.

You will get the answer.

On National Live Television, Gulnaaz Khan's sensational case

is a historically strong step.

Ms.Gulnaaz, thank you for coming to our studio and speaking to us.

Like the famous poet Ghalib Saheb has said

'Just like a child's playground this world appears to me

every single night and day, this spectacle I see.'

This is Dipankar Sanyal and you are watching Josh 24/7.

This is the matter of Country.

This is Amina Qureshi and you are watching Awaaz Bharati News.

And that's a cut.

Congratulations!

Now you'll trend not your MMS!

Why Dipankar, we had decided that I will only apologise.

Why did you push me? - That's my job, Gulnaaz!

And not to break is yours!

Well, you will not become a minister in this term, but

the next election is yours!

And then I will give you a special focus

on this very channel!

And next time, a bit respectfully.

Dipankar

Good night. Yeah Gulnaaz.

I understand Gulnaaz.

But atleast you could inform me.

Anyway, forget it, take care.

Ahmed Bilakia, the Bollywood director

had one more video of Gulnaaz.

Of a rave party!

Acid, coke, molly

she did everything.

And Dipankar has found that!

My God, he blackmailed her!

Radha, thank you for pushing us.

It was necessary to do this story.

Yes today you were also fantastic.

Sensational news and all.

Tomorrow's TRPs will only decide.

Come in.

Please come. - Let's see.

Follow that car. - Okay sir.

Let's go, Surti.

Hello, hello, hello.

So how was the gift?

I liked it a lot.

Liked it a lot.

Open it, now itself.

Wait, wait. Let me open it for you.

Wow! Good choice!

Oh... perfect!

And now you can thank me.

Thank you, Kamal.

I love it. So fancy!

That is what you have to be. Fancy all the time!

Love you. - Yeah.

Thank you!

Ok, I have to go.

My boy-friend has shown me the watch.

Have fun. - Yeah.

So we will meet tomorrow. Same time, same place.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you. - Thank you.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Just one more please. - Yes ma'am.

Hi

Deepali ma'am's son?

Anuj Saxena?

Yeah... You remembered!

We had met in Awaaz Bharati -You had come for an interview.

Yes.

Josh 24/7! - Yeah!

You people had rejected me what could I do?

Not us, but our budgets!

Well, this is what it is.

Can't be that bad!

No actually it's not.

Today I almost did my first prime time story.

The Shravan Kumar suicide! - Yeah!

It was left out by us as well.

Sad.

But I saw a clip... you had taken a byte.

Yes of course, that byte

yeah, his parents were crying bitterly.

And I was pushing them for bytes.

And I was taking a close-up of their tears!

It was definitely one of my finer moments!

It was great!

One more for me, thank you.

It is my birthday. I am allowed!

Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't know. Happy birthday!

Thank you.

One more for him. - Please.

Cheers!

If you feel like roaming around, we can go to Pune.

Food at the Food mall is not all that bad.

My taste is a bit sophisticated, Dipankar.

I feel as if

you are not calling yourself sophisticated but calling me cheap.

MMS scam!

Gay porn!

All such wretched things during family time?

Should these be run on prime-time News?

Well, you are getting TRPs, right?

For the past 72 weeks, our channel,

is the Nation's No.1 News Channel!

I don't want to be India's No.1, but want to be India's best Channel!

And you were hired on the basis of this very criteria.

Dipankar, I want the channel I am funding

to be posh and classy!

Don’t run my channel as per your taste but run as per my taste, ok?

Surti, stop the car.

Sir will get off.

Thanks for the drive, Surti.

And it just slipped out of my mouth. - I mean on a National TV, you

during a Live debate, you abused Maulana Azad.

And still you were not sacked?

I didn't abuse.

'haraamzada' is an abusive word.

It is on TV atleast.

Not in my vocabulary.

And technically, I was sacked.

Have you ever seen me on TV after that day?

No.

I was removed from the screen but not from my job.

Amina is a sweet heart like that!

She takes a stand for her team, no matter what.

Stop ahead on the left please. Stop, stop.

You live here. It's nice neighbourhood.

Do you want to come up for a drink?

Yeah! - Come.

Yeah.

Welcome to my humble abode! - Wow!

Nice walls, they match your shirt also!

Don't judge me. It's the Landlord's idea.

It is nice!

Cake! Haven't you cut it yet?

Want some? - I don't mind.

My flatmate had ordered!

Are you still working on City Glitz Mall fire story?

Seven days are already over!

You know even I was working on that story.

For a long time.

What do you think? What is your angle?

Beer? I have some whisky too.

Yes, anything.

Or this.

Should we go to the bedroom?

Hope your roommate doesn't come. - No.

It has happened to me before

Is she out of town? - No.

Where is she? - Anuj she is dead.

She is no more.

Do you want to ask anything more?

I am so sorry.

The journalist from the City Glitz Mall fire incident,

Julia Alvares was my flat mate.

The journo who died!

I mean those cut-outs

You don't think it was an accident.

Do you have condoms?

Or shall I get? - No it is okay.

It is not possible without condoms.

No, no, I mean let us not do it today.

Come on.

Now you are emotionally vulnerable.

And maybe you are not thinking straight

we need some time. - Ok don't tell me

what I am thinking.

You know, I am happy to just hang in and

and talk about it, if you want.

Fuck off. - We can chill.

Okay.

Did you get the divorce papers? - Yes.

Can we meet?

I will meet Aahna and discuss the terms also.

Sure.

10:30 pm tomorrow! - Sure.

You don't need to ring the bell.

You have the keys. - I know.

I have the keys.

Who is this?

Where are you going Julia?

That's weird.

17th October...

17th October... Shit!

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Restored to factory settings!

17th October...

8:37 pm.

Same time.
