Description
Ajay Bakshi (Shah Rukh Khan), a sharp and shrewd TV reporter, works for Kaka Chowdhary (Satish Shah) owner of K-TV. Ajay is a star in his own right crosses all limits to prove that he is the best.
Ria Bannerjee (Juhi Chawla) is a beautiful and intelligent TV journalist employed by Mr. Chinoy (Dilip Tahil), the CEO of Channel Galaxee to counter the success of Ajay Bakshi and K-TV. She too goes all out to prove that she is the best.
This is the beginning of a professional rivalry and of a love-hate relationship between the two. Each tries to outsmart the other's efforts to promote their channel using an array of journalistic weaponry ranging from pampering and pandering to deception and deceit. Both of them are catapulted into the spotlight when Chief Minister Mushran (Govind Namdev) and the opposition party leader Ramakant Dua (Shakti Kapoor) engage in a vicious political battle for power, each attempting to use them to get media mileage. The atmosphere is tense with the impending elections.
In the midst of all this a common man, Mohan Joshi (Paresh Rawal), gets entangled in the web of power and corruption. Both the parties attempt to use him to further their own ends and he ends up being labelled a terrorist. He manages to escape from the police by hiding in the trunk of Ajay and Ria's car and later tells them his story. When Ajay and Ria learn the truth, they come together to help this common man and solicit the help of a softhearted underworld Don, Pappu Junior (Johnny Lever).
They convince the television station bosses to unite to air Mohan Joshi's videotaped confession and expose the nexus of the politicians and police. In their greed for advertising revenue, the greedy bosses agree, but Ajay and Ria's plans are thwarted when Mohan Joshi is kidnapped by Pappu Junior. Disguised as Chinese journalists, Ajay and Ria manage to free Mohan Joshi and hide him at a secluded place. Chinoy and Kaka pick him up, promising to air the truth but the very next moment they meet with Dua and realize they could make more money by commercializing the hanging of the 'anti-national' Mohan Joshi.
Ajay and Ria find out on the television news that Mohan Joshi is to be hanged and Ajay confronts Kaka. The indulgent Kake now dismisses Ajay and he realizes that the channel bosses are also in league with the politicians. They manage to steal away the tape from Kaka's house, but without a channel to air it on anymore. Minutes before the actual hanging, they sneak into the control room of K-TV and replace the original program with the videotaped confession of Mohan Joshi. A tearful Ajay Bakshi exhorts the citizens of the city to join him in his march to the jail. As he draws closer to the venue, he sees an entire army of citizens behind him and they peacefully manage to save Mohan Joshi from the gallows.
