[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Madhur Bhandarkar’s movie ‘Page 3’ takes a candid look into the lives of celebrities and stars that adorn the third page of newspaper. The film penetrates through the façade of their ‘hunky-dory’ lives and reveals the hypocrisy, superficiality and shallowness that lie underneath.

Madhvi Sharma (Konkona Sen Sharma) arrives in Mumbai and soon lands a journalist job. Her boss Deepak Suri (Boman Irani) gives her the task of reporting celebrity news. She begins her journey in the glitzy and glamourous world of celebrity lifestyle.

Her roommate Pearl Sequiera is an air hostess and wants to marry for money. Gayetri Sachdeva (Tara Sharma) later joins them. She is an aspiring actress and gets involved with leading actor Rohit Kumar (Bikram Saluja). When she tells him that she is pregnant he does not want anything to do with her. Depressed and shattered, Gayetri tries to kill herself, she does not succeed but her child was unable to be saved. She leaves Mumbai and goes back to Delhi. Pearl also leaves and moves to the United States with her wealthy husband. Madhvi, gets revenge on Rohit by writing an article on his relationship with Gayathri but her article is retracted and she is forced to apologise to him.

As soon as Madhavi begins to get disillusioned with her job of covering lives of these celebs she declares that “the party is over” for her. She soon realises that the glamourous world of celebrity life is not as glamourous as it seems...
