Greetings, I am Dipankar Sanyal.
I am Amina Qureshi.
I am Radha Bhargav.
Good morning sir
Josh 24/7!
is the Nation's No.1 News Channel!
Today’s Awaaz Bharati wants to give fair and unbais news to public.
So first cook the News.
'Shame on Anurag Bhatia '...
Cook it well and then serve.
Aunty whatever is written on this paper, memorize that well.
Basically beautify truth and lie so much that people won't find difference in them.
That's why it's important that there should be a channel which has place for truth.
That is my personal MMS.
Why you are making the News? -TRPs.
You are watching.
I am really sorry.
You have to drop story.
News is like a deadly virus!
It has to be kept under control.
You guys don't get it.
We have no fucking power.
Join me, Radha Bhargava.
And work like a real powerful journalist.
He hasn’t hired you, he has just hired himself.
That man is willing to do anything for TRPs.
Ahana won't go to Dubai.
Ahana will go only where her mother goes.
Ahana is everything for me.
Only News is everything for you.
Seriously, you call yourself journalist Mr. Sanyal.
then focus on 'Operation Umbrella'
What is 'Operation Umbrella' sir?
that your phone's camera and microphone
will never get switched off.
If this interview plays on TV, then you are finished.
Anyways, your mic is still on.
I was joking.
City Glitz fire victim.
Prasanna Nair was with Julia that night at City Glitz Mall.
He was working for Nandan's Company Gigasys India.
After few days Prasanna was also killed.
Look Radha. They are very dangerous people.
Radha, I will do this story.
No. -It is not a request but an order.
I can't run away from this.
This is Julia's story.
If Awaaz Bharati plays the Operation Umbrella's story tomorrow
then you don't come to office from day after tomorrow.
Radha Bhargava is a traitor.
Let anyone say anything.
I am a patriot!
And it is my duty to stop her.
And I am ready to die for the sake of my Country
Killed her.
The system killed Radha Bhargava.
My colleague and editor-in-chief of Aawaz Bharati, Radha Bhargava
was working on an important story.
A story that would expose the whole system.
It scared them so much they killed Radha Bhargava.
They killed Radha Bhargava!
Radha Bhargava from Awaaz Bharati
helped terrorists by leaking Operation Umbrella.
Under the plan Operation Umbrella,
they will keep watch on you 24/7
to keep you under control.
Radha Bhargava betrayed her country.
I request the government
to arrest Radha Bhargava at the soonest
and punish her severely.
Listen, you've been summoned.
Is your jailer in love with her?
How many times will she question her?
It's not the jailer...
But the TV guy.
Dipankar Sanyal.
Come quick.
I said move.
Connect me to the CM.
I've got to see him.
No interview. Something personal.
It's about Radha Bhargava.
How are you?
You came to exchange pleasantries?
I had no idea you'd attack the CM directly.
That's called journalism.
You won't understand.
People have their own reasons.
What was your reason?
Power? Money? Position?
The world may be unaware,
but I know the truth about you.
Look what happened to you in 30 days.
This case will drag on for a long time.
Perhaps for 15 years. How long will you fight?
The public is with me.
They're not the public, Radha.
They are folks who thrive on protests.
They're with you because you're trending. Soon they'll find someone else.
And you'll rot in this prison cell for life.
That's your plan?
I know you hold me responsible for what you went through.
In a way you are right.
But I can fix this, believe me.
This is an apology letter.
Sign it and leave the rest to me.
CM?
Nandan?
I'll handle him.
Impressive.
Masters don't heed servants usually.
Look, I know you love being a martyr.
Please don't do it.
I'll hardly take a week to wipe off your public support.
Why don't you understand?
You're losing control over people, Dipankar.
Hence, you came here...
Trying to get me to sign that apology letter.
You won't sign?
Got her signatures?
You're really stubborn, Radha.
No problem, sir. You may leave.
I'll convince her my way.
At least you tried, Dipankar.
Okay, I have some great news.
Guess who's chosen by the press club for the news person of the year award.
You got it arranged?
Just doing my job, Dipankar.
Nandan sir has a clear mandate.
Make Dipankar look good.
And that is my primary job
as the COO of Josh 24/7.
I dared to show Indira Gandhi the mirror during emergency.
I got jailed and was thrashed.
That's how I got this award from the press club.
Isn't that...
Kumar Bharadwaj.
My first boss.
He's a legend.
I was aggrieved to know that the press club is giving
this award to a sycophant like Dipankar Sanyal
instead of an astute, fearless journalist Radha Bhargava.
That man turned this noble profession
into a money making business.
Dipankar Sanyal is a blemish in the name of journalism.
I can't belittle my work by sharing this award with him.
Hence,
I am
returning this award to the press club.
Did you see that?
I'm shocked!
How can Kumarji be so selfish?
But he's speaking in Radha's favour!
It's just virtue signalling, that's all.
He's using Radha's sacrifice
for self-relevance.
Amina, you're overthinking this.
Somebody has to f****g think!
Radha is in jail since 30 days. 30 days!
Dipankar takes Kumarji as his mentor.
Kumarji could've talked to him directly.
What did he gain by slandering him on social media?
Dipankar will retaliate.
How will that affect Radha's case? Just think!
What do we do now?
Some thing I didn't want to.
Buckle up! The scene is all set.
Don't let the heat get to you.
Fast, c'mon move it.
- Hey, Regina. - Hi, sir.
That oldie Kumar uploaded the video today.
Boss will give him hell.
Newbie Ahmed, Bollywood viral.
Bolly...
Boss!
Good morning, sir.
- Just reached. - Sir.
- Ask him to call me, okay? - Sir.
Yeah.
- Sir. - All right.
Bye. Sir.
What, Isha?
Amina Qureshi.
Good morning, sir. Rihana Ahmed.
Bollywood Viral, first day at Josh, sir.
Congratulations.
Your new office is great.
Spacious, posh.
Nice.
No milk, no sugar, right?
You remember!
Thank you.
I think...
That's the problem with me.
I don't forget things.
I remember the intellectuals
in brain storming sessions.
My job was to order tea and coffee.
When was that?
1998?
97.
Took you 25 years to reach here.
We had a great team.
Kumarji might differ
but I remember your journalism.
Defence scam, metro scam...
You were the best reporter at Awaaz Bharati.
And yet you bagged the 9 pm slot at Awaaz Bharati.
Are you punishing Radha Bhargava for that?
There's still time.
Stop this madness, Dipankar.
Radha Bhargava is exactly like you.
Like you used to be.
You should work together not against each other.
I'll make you the same offer I gave to Radha.
Ask her to apologise to the CM and settle everything.
You know Radha won't apologise.
Then I can't do anything.
You can't or you don't want to?
It took me 25 years to reach here
with great difficulty.
I can't ruin this for the sake of Radha Bhargava's ego.
Dipankar, she's not fighting for her ego.
She's fighting for the truth.
You still don't get it.
The whole system is against her.
If she doesn't bow down,
she will break.
You were a good journalist, Dipankar.
But I wasn't lacking either.
I won that 9 pm slot on merit.
Nobody can harm Radha Bhargava with me around.
Neither you
nor your system.
We'll see.
Sure we will.
31 days.
Radha Bhargava is in jail since 31 days.
Why?
Because the government is scared of Radha Bhargava.
Exactly!
The government fears that if Radha is set free,
Operation Umbrella bill will never be passed in the assembly.
That bill will surely be passed. Public safety is at stake.
Radha Bhargava, the leader of libtards
will be slayed live on TV.
Radha is in jail because of Operation Umbrella.
We have to finish that reason on live TV.
Pankaj, I want to speak to Parchure, the opposition leader.
This is the proposed bill of Operation Umbrella.
Amina, 70 MLAs in this government
were blackmailed in the name of Operation Umbrella.
With the help of these MLAs, the government
wants to legalise this operation in the state.
This is not done.
This is subversion of democracy.
It's true that Radha gave me a million
- because I have cancer... - Stop it!
This is absolutely shocking.
If Radha Bhargava can bribe Bhiku Mahato
to malign Atharva Uranium,
just imagine who all she bribed
to malign Operation Umbrella.
Breaking News.
Operation Umbrella can also add data to our electronic devices.
Yes, if the government decides to get you jailed,
the police will surely find evidence on your computer,
all thanks to Operation Umbrella.
The government found certain documents on
Yashwant Patil's computer, aide of Radha Bhargava,
which prove that he planned to attack the state assembly
and assassinate CM Shinde.
As per sources,
Yashwant was paid by Radha Bhargava.
The question is how did she procure so much money.
A million to Bhiku Mahato,
funds to Yashwant Patil
and three houses of her own.
A mere reporter owns three houses!
One in Mumbai, Delhi and Bhopal each.
How?
Who was providing Radha Bhargava with funds?
Radha's father was a successful businessman.
He owned houses in Delhi and Bhopal.
Radha bequeathed them after he passed away.
And the house in Mumbai?
That's a rented place.
The landlord has sent an eviction notice already.
He said Radha is anti-national.
And break.
It's okay.
You went to meet Radha, right?
How is she?
She asked about you.
I approved the story that
landed Radha in jail.
I should've been in jail, not her.
Radha doesn't blame you at all.
But I do.
I'm sorry.
No matter what happens, we'll get Radha out of jail
at the soonest.
I promise you that.
Wait a second.
Radha gave this for you.
- Radha? - Yes.
- When you went to see her? - Yes.
Hello.
Who?
I'm Kamal Wadia,
Radha Bhargava's friend.
Me too.
How may I help you?
We would like to meet you.
Radha Bhargava gave us your number.
You can see we've reached the court.
Yashwant Patil is up for hearing.
He will come out any time now.
We're waiting...
Catch.
Kushal, catch.
- Go ahead. - Yashwant....
Yashwantji...
How did you plan to kill the CM?
Tell us.
Is Radha Bhargava involved in this?
Answer us, Yashwantji. Say some thing.
You just saw...
Yashwant Patil cowered and fled
without answering questions from Josh 24/7
Yes, he fled. But why?
Rihana Ahmed, Mumbai High Court.
Idiot.
This new girl Rihana's quite impressive.
You hired her, right?
Yes but for entertainment beat.
Who assigned her crime?
She requested for it so...
You don't like it?
Once upon a time people spoke like that on teleshopping shows
selling silly stuff.
Useless stuff.
Rihana has great numbers. Better than Anuj.
Numbers of Operation Umbrella?
Is the new approach working?
Well, about that...
Nandan sir is a bit upset.
- He wanted me to discuss... - Really?
IT guys came home again yesterday!
- Sir, I tried to stop her... - It's okay.
Excuse me.
My show starts in 5 minutes. Make it quick.
Sure.
IT guys barged into my house yesterday again.
So?
I know you're behind this, Dipankar.
So?
You have to stop this.
You know what you have to do for that.
Fine.
We won't move to Dubai. We'll stay in Mumbai.
And you can see Ahana twice a week.
Ahana will stay with me
and you can see her twice a week.
Have you gone crazy?
- I am her mother. - And I'm her father.
And you're the girlfriend of a fraud businessman. That's it.
You have 2 weeks.
Decide.
Dipankar!
Nandan Balachandran wants to take over Awaaz Bharati.
Why?
I don't know.
For obvious reasons, Kamal.
Radha is in jail
and Dipankar is pushing Operation Umbrella since one month.
People are supporting Radha and opposing Operation Umbrella.
Nandan had to do some thing.
But who watches Awaaz Bharati?
I mean, taking over....
Awaaz Bharati is the only channel speaking against Operation Umbrella.
They want to silence us.
And there's nothing we can do about it.
Not all wars are fought for victory.
Some wars are fought to show the world
that some will put up a brave fight.
We have to fight for truth, for Radha.
We have to fight.
Awaaz Bharati exposed Operation Umbrella by Vectanet.
For this expos*, Radha is in jail since 40 days.
Now Vectanet wants to buy Awaaz Bharati.
Why Awaaz Bharati?
Because they want Awaaz Bharati to face the same fate
as Radha Bhargava.
The question arises if this is a mere corporate take over
or an attack on free speech?
Dipankar, I was waiting for you.
Whiskey.
You mustn't play games when you don't know the rules, Nandan.
And you're an ace at this game?
Operation Umbrella scored - 15 points as per Public Perception Index.
And taking over Awaaz Bharati will make it popular?
Huh?
You're making Awaaz Bharati and Radha heroes. That's it.
I don't have an option, Dipankar.
You have no idea about our funds stuck in Operation Umbrella.
Making Shinde the CM
and taking away Josh didn't happen for free.
It takes time to change the people's mindset.
But I don't have time, Dipankar.
The CM will present the bill on Operation Umbrella in the assembly.
What if I change public opinion in favour
of Operation Umbrella before that?
Then whatever you want.
Brand new Lambo, top of the line.
I'll tell you what I want
after the bill is passed.
Cheers.
Many hashtags are trending on social media opposing
the hostile take over of Awaaz Bharati.
The protest to free Radha Bhargava
had a footfall of more than 5,000. That's the most they've got.
That's good but, Kamal,
a crowd of 5,000 in a state housing 120 million people!
They can't exert much pressure on the government.
We need more.
I think the government is facing the pressure, Amina.
They're ready to meet us.
A no holds barred interview.
I hope it's the IT minister.
It's the CM.
Sir, Amina is interviewing the CM tonight.
Who's the main leader of anti Operation Umbrella?
Shubhankar Banerjee.
He has 4 million followers on social media.
I want him in my studio tonight.
Why, sir?
I want to leave him and his followers foxed!
Things will go fine, Amina.
- Relax. - Can't f****g relax, Pankaj.
Radha's future depends on this interview.
I...
I can't f**k it up, Pankaj. I can't!
You won't.
I know you won't.
Oh no, Dipankar. You don't understand.
The people think the CM is scared of the media.
The elections are just a year away.
If I stay silent, my image will take a hit.
Sir, I understand but why Amina Qureshi?
Do an interview with Josh instead.
Josh?
An interview with Josh won't have a big impact.
People know who you go to bat for.
I have to let an honest journalist interview me.
Well, bye now.
Sir! Shubhankar Banerjee, interview confirmed.
Keep it to the left.
Audio check is done.
Alright. Yeah, camera angle looks good to me.
A bit towards the left.
Towards the left.
F**k!
What is it?
Naxal attack in Gadchiroli.
Interviewing the CM seems difficult.
- What's the death count? - Sir, 22 CRPF soldiers, 30 civilians.
12 women, 7 children.
F***.
Have they established an Naxal connection?
They took responsibility for the attack via email.
Call Meghna.
Sir, should I cancel Shubhankar's interview?
Why?
The Naxal attack is huge. You'll lead with that story, right?
Shubhankar's story and the attack aren't different.
We'll merge them.
Meghna, need a standby for CM's interview.
Juhi, ask Kamal to be on stand by.
Not sure about the CM's interview. Keep back up ready.
I'll update you.
We've learnt of a Naxal attack.
If the CM is in the war room meeting...
We'll know once he's here.
- Here he is. - Amina!
- Hello. - Hello.
Let's start the interview.
Sure.
Come.
C'mon guys, show time.
Full focus, attention.

Hello, I am Dipankar Sanyal and you're watching Josh 24/7.
It's all about the nation.
We have with us in our studio famous human rights activist
and number one critic of Operation Umbrella
Dr Shubhankar Banerjee.
- Dr... - Correction, Mr Sanyal.
It's number 2 critic not number 1.
The number 1 critic of Operation Umbrella
is Radha Bhargava.
No wonder she's in jail.
Free Radha Bhargava now.
Free Radha Bhargava.
Radha Bhargava is not in jail
because she doesn't agree with the government.
She's in jail,
because she stole top secret government documents.
The government is also stealing people's data.
Aminaji, that's not stealing.
There's a difference.
What difference?
Look, Operation Umbrella ensures people's safety
but Radha Bhargava's actions had selfish reasons.
Nandan Balchandran has access to all data comprising Operation Umbrella.
How is that safe for the people?
Won't Mr Balachandran earn profits by selling that data?
What are people hiding in their phones anyway?
Why is everyone so against Operation Umbrella?
Operation Umbrella is an attempt by the government to invade my privacy.
And right to privacy is a basic human right.
And right to life?
The right to survive?
Is it less significant than your right to privacy?
Mr Sanyal, human rights are not subjective.
They're equal.
Can you say that confidently to my next guest as well?
Why not? Go on.
Switch.
This is Savitadevi, live from Gadchiroli.
40 soldiers martyred in Gadchiroli today.
Her husband Vikas Jha was one of them.
If the government had Operation Umbrella,
we could've monitored Naxal movement.
We could've put an end to their tyranny.
If Operation Umbrella were active,
Vikas Jha and his fellow soldiers would be alive.
Alas, Radha Bhargava's right to privacy
stifled Vikas Jha's right to life.
I don't support Naxal terrorism.
But you can't term Radha Bhargava a terrorist.
Why not?
Naxalites are terrorists of the jungle.
They live in jungles and attack the government.
And people like Radha Bhargava live in cities,
and empower such terrorists.
Radha Bhargava and her aides
started a movement to oppose Operation Umbrella,
which is no less than a terrorist attack.
We have to save the state from this terrorist attack.
We have to show urban terrorist like Radha Bhargava that,
we won't support her terrorist agenda
but Operation Umbrella.
This is Dipankar Sanyal and you're watching Josh 24/7
It's all about the nation.
It's quite obvious.
The CM and Dipankar planned this narrative.
It's not your fault, Amina.
Whose fault is it then?
Who do I blame?
It's my responsibility to get Radha out of jail.
But I failed at my job.
Radha will suffer because of my failure.
Search thoroughly.
Yes, madam.
Be thorough.
A terrorist is in this cell.
Okay.
We found nothing, madam.
What do you mean?
Check her in and out, Sarla.
Oh.
Is that how you search a terrorist?
What if she's holding a bomb inside?
Take off your clothes, madam.
What?
Take off your clothes.
Do it.
Don't be nervous, Radha.
We're all ladies here. Take them off.
Do it.
Some bomb I tell you!
Right, Sarla?
Yes, madam.
Look madam, sign the apology letter.
Or you'll face the same fate as Jeeva Reddy.
I'm sure you've heard of him.
- Suresh? - Yes, madam.
Get the phone.
Yes.
Mobile, madam.
Look,
the poor chap died in an accident.
Operation Umbrella bill was passed in the state assembly unanimously
thus fulfilling the CM's promise of keeping the state safe from terrorism.
In response to the bill, the CM said
our state shall now scale great heights of safety....
Dad!
How are you, child?
- I... - Good?
Dad, where's my room?
Second door on the left.
Good night, mom.
Love you.
Sit.
Why?
To celebrate your victory?
Look,
I understand what you're feeling right now.
Hey, hold this.
Hold it properly.
You're going to the court not to a wedding.
The media will be present there.
Can't look plain.
Got to wear some make up.
You can see that Radha Bhargava has reached the court.
Her bail hearing will start in 15 minutes.
As per legal experts her chances of getting bail are nil.
Why should she get bail anyway?
Radha Bhargava is a traitor,
an urban terrorist
who lived amidst us
and helped the enemies of this nation.
The public and I feel that people like Radha Bhargava
deserve a life sentence not bail.
Yes, life sentence.
Dipankar...
You finished her.
Operation Umbrella bill was passed unanimously.
So, can we talk about our deal now?
I want Josh 24/7 legally.
And I want 51% stake.
Why?
I kept my word now it's your turn.
The job isn't finished yet.
The elections happen in a year and if Shinde loses...
The law can be repealed.
C'mon, Nandan! Are you serious?
Who will defeat Shinde?
There is no opposition.
Radha Bhargava and Awaaz Bharati are his only critics.
Radha is in jail and Awaaz Bharati is in your control.
Who will defeat him?
That's where you're wrong, Dipankar.
Heard of Niko Labs.
Sabharwal?
Niko Labs has bought controlling stakes of Awaaz Bharati.
I don't get it.
Why would a tech company buy stakes in a loss making media house?
Because Niko Labs is my direct competitor in tech space.
That means...
As your arch enemies have joined hands,
you want Dipankar Sanyal on your side.
What if I refuse?
Dipankar, you're the best journalist in the state.
But you're not the only one.
It would be hard to find a new editor-in-chief for Josh but
it's not impossible.
Confirmed news?
Okay.
Well, you can't make it without Dipankar Sanyal, Nandan.
Radha Bhargava was granted bail.
See you around.
I'm so sorry, Radha.
So sorry.
Radha.
I've to complete some formalities in jail.
I'll see you in office.
Radha, office today...
Actually, Radha, things have changed in the office.
Radha,
we have new owners now.
Niko Labs.
We also have a new business head,
Ranjit Sabharwal.
Ronnie?
Niko Labs is not just a multi billion dollar corporation.
It has the power to speak against injustice.
The power to voice the truth without fear.
You are all warriors of the truth.
Soldiers of truth.
This is why you have power.
Niko Labs and I, Ranjit Sabharwal,
supports you to fight for truth.
Niko Labs, Amina Qureshi, Radha Bhargava,
Awaaz Bharati share common ideas.
If we unite,
nobody can defeat us.
You have immense power backed by a corrupt government,
a venal media house loud speaker
but we have the voice of truth.
And I know that will suffice to defeat you.
I am Radha Bhargava
and you're watching Awaaz Bharati.
Dipankar Sanyal on national television has staunchly called me a terrorist.
It is my turn now. - Seriously.
I will decide what story will get run on Josh.
Only me.
Our job is to tell the truth.
And if I have to clean this system..
..then I will also have to soil my hands.
I was thinking, operation Umbrella* - Radha.
You are out on bail.
Before fighting Dipankar, I have to fight Amina.
You want a direct fight. * One on one?
Just because of the ego of this one Radha Bhargav, I cannot risk all this.
Do you want to support the truth on your team?
I have found out which story Amina was working on.
That's why you killed them?
I haven't killed them.
I had just* * - Had them killed.
