Plot synopsis

The film Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani focuses on the media war being fought in the TV newsrooms. Ajay Bakshi (Shah Rukh Khan) is a TV reporter and with his rather unorthodox style, he enjoys celebrity status, and a rival TV channel, with dropping ratings, hires Ria Banerjee (Juhi Chawla) to counter Ajay's popularity.

When a businessman is assassinated on election eve, the assassin, Mohan Joshi (Paresh Rawal) is arrested on the spot, but manages to escape days later during the media coverage.

Joshi meets Ajay and Ria then tells them the truth behind the whole incident, and it reveals the nexus between big money, cops and corrupt politicians. The two TV reporters join hands to secure justice for the condemned 'terrorist' and get his real story on tape.
