The story is about highlighting the roller coaster life of any journalist and the threats they need to mend through, on a daily routine. The plot is based on three protagonists, who are successfull journalists.. with an absolute difference in belief and practice of profession from each other, tell a tale of the engagements they face daily in Josh 24X7 and Awaaz Bharti news channels.
It is needless to highlight and praise Jaideep Ahlawat as Dipankar Sanyal, as he happens to be a performer, one of the less in proportion, who has gained a concrete trust in a very short span and he delivers. The character of Dipankar Sanyal is absolute package of love, hate and thrill. You will get confused when to raise voice for and against him, when to stand beside him and when not to. Precisely, he is a complicated character.
Sonali Bendre as Ameena Qureshi, felt a bit overdone to me, it's completely a personal judgement on the dimension and perspective of mine.. but Sonali could have done better compared to the character she plays. Nothing special and could have been performed by any, probably with much more..who knows?! We have seen a few contemporary colleague of her's, who have returned in front of the camera much apart from what they used to do in their golden times, but they are back and delivering what needs and has set a benchmark. In that context, Sonali did a bit injustice to herself, I believe.
Shriya Pilgaonkar as Radha Bhargava, was straight to the point and did justice to the role given. You won't ask for more as there was nothing more you can question for and, she is one of those, who has emerged strong in the recent times and is deserved to gain the good attention.
The story of 'The Broken News' might be average to me but the performances, have took me to heights, especially Jaideep Ahlawat.. every praise of him seems so insufficient to me. And the songs... ofcourse were masterpiece itself!
Deeply thankful to the new wave of web media platforms, who are surely making 'talents meet success' along with 'justice to viewers', in their platform and we, the viewers, had the opportunity to see a thrust of promising and agile performers in the recent times. Took us away from that expensive but boring movie auditoriums with stereotypical bogus stories with zero content on the large screen, to economic digital devices with small screens but delivers variety of genre with a variety of dimensions to chose for and fit according to preference. We can relax and enjoy at our convenience too. There are such a huge variety of content rushing towards us that we fall short to keep a valid track on which to start with and which to complete without skipping. Yes, it's a mix of good and bad but, the ratio is far heavier on stories with good content and promising performance, which is the just the opposite in bollywood silver screen! So thanks for saving us with the new tide as we were badly stuck in a quicksand.
