Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000)

Ajay Bakshi is an unscrupulous television news reporter that'll go to any heights (literally) for the most sensational news coverage because he loves to be a star; he loves himself as much as Indian cinema loves product placement. A rival network hires a successful female, Ria, to outdo the attention-whore at his own game, but Ajay becomes smitten.
It’s clear where things are going, but that’s only half the story. When the tone changes it’s striking by comparison. The political impartiality of the networks that we rely on, that are the cornerstone of many people’s political views, is dragged into the light and held up for all to see.

3 official lies out of 5
