The film Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani focuses on the media war being fought in the TV newsrooms. The film is a spoof on current national scenario and brilliantly portrays the nexus between politics and media. It also highlights the way the media people clamour for publicity and money. The film starts on a bright, energetic note with Ajay Bakshi (Shah Rukh Khan), a confident, loudmouth TV reporter, basking in his celebrity status. A rival TV channel, with dropping ratings, hires Ria Banerjee (Juhi Chawla) to counter Ajay’s magic.
Ajay Bakshi (Shahrukh Khan) is a sauve, stylish, flirtatious and brave reporter (He climbs a 20 storey tower to cover the diffusing of a bomb). T.V. reporter working for K-TV. The coolest place one can imagine showing babes and hunks in designer clothes on the dance floor that will put many discotheques to shame. The channel is owned by Kakaji (Satish Shah), he cajoling puttar Ajay with jazzy cars. Galaxy TV owned by KC Chinoy (Dilip Tahil) is desperate to boost its flagging TRP’s, so hires a femme fatale Riya Banerjee ( Juhi Chawla ) who is very smart and her handy-cam comes quite handy at times. Jay goes bonkers over Ria and tries to woo her. Both share a love-hate relationship and believe that they are the best.
Elections are round the corner hence chief minister Mushran (Govind Namdeo) and opposition leader Ramakant Dua (Shakti Kapoor) rope in both channels to campaign for them. We have a flurry of press meetings and padyatras, the spin-doctors start functioning. In all this melee a common man Mohan Joshi (Paresh Rawal) avenges the rape of his daughter by Maganlal Dua’s brother by executing him.
A Bumbling don Pappu junior (Jonny Lever) who is desperate for publicity kidnaps Mohan Joshi to boost his dreary image. Ajay and Ria join hands and decide to save the common man….
