Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani : focuses on the media war being fought in
the TV newsrooms. Ajay Bakshi (
Shahrukh
Khan) is a TV reporter and with his rather unorthodox style, he
enjoys celebrity status to the point of arrogance. In response, a rival
TV channel, with dropping ratings, hires Ria Banerjee (
Juhi
Chawla) to counter Ajay's popularity.
When a businessman is assassinated on election eve, the assassin,
Mohan Joshi (
Paresh Rawal) is arrested on the spot, but
manages to escape days later during the media coverage. He is accused of
terrorism and the country is thrown into an uproar. Many die who had no
connection with the rivalries of Joshi and his victim, in a corporate
attempt to scare the survivors into believing that Joshi is part of a
"foreign hand" of bullies.
Joshi meets Ajay and Ria then tells them the truth behind the whole
incident. It seems that Joshi's teenage daughter died because of a
brutal rape by the man whom he would later slay. Revealing while "on
camera" that this man and his partners have been destroying everything
in pursuit of their goals, Joshi declares that he killed the man in
revenge, almost without thinking. "If that is terrorism, I'm a
terrorist", he concludes.
Later, Joshi is put into prison and sentenced to death. On the day of
his execution, the reporters lead a silent march, flying the national
flag of India, to find Joshi and make the truth public. He is freed, and
justice is secured...........!!!!!!!!
