Page 3 in newspapers in India is the place for reporting the extracurricular activities of the rich and famous. The film takes us inside this opulent world through the eyes of novice journalist, Madhavi Sharma. As a Page 3 columnist, Madhavi gains unlimited access to glittering parties, fashion shows and premieres, but she discovers that even under the glare of the spotlight, misery lurks. Her jaded subjects drown their senses with sex, drugs, a pulsing dance beat and empty conversation to divert attention from their shallow lives. Even among Madhavi's friends, ambition trumps integrity. Madhavi is privy to the cannibalistic relationship between media and the entertainment industry. Yet, her discovery of a criminal element that exploits children and a subsequent cover-up lead her to seriously question the direction of her career.
