Description
The term originates from India's colourful daily newspaper supplements appearing usually on the third page that chronicle cocktail parties and gossip of the glitterati – the country's equivalent of tabloid journalism. Page 3 features color photo spreads of celebrities and the nouveau riche at parties. Those featured on page 3 include fashion designers, socialite, models, remix music divas, and the glamorous and rich. The flashy supplements are a mix of celebrity news, party pictures, movie gossip and stories on such subjects as the sexual habits and preferences of Indians.[3][4]Page 3 has become a phenomenon which arose from sensationalism.
Observers say[citation needed] India's runaway Page 3 culture reflects two distinct levels of an aspirational society. One is the need for gossip. The second is the desire to be seen to be famous by featuring on Page 3.

Madhavi finds out that her boyfriend is bisexual, when she finds him in bed with her best friend, Abhijeet (Rehaan Engineer). Soon, Madhavi becomes disillusioned with her job, and she realises that 'the party is over' for her - the celebrity lifestyle is not as glamorous as it seems. She requests to be moved to a different field, and lands on the "crime beat" with Vinayak Mane (Atul Kulkarni). She accompanies Vinayak as they search the city for crime related stories. On one such trip, they witness a bomb blast in the city, which affects Madhavi emotionally. She begins to investigate the story, but is made to cover a high-profile Bollywood party by Deepak. At the party, she comes across the ACP in charge of the bomb blast she witnessed, insensitively discussing the incident. Madhavi is shocked to find out that the ACP was attending a film shoot while he was on duty, which delayed his reaction to the blast.

However, based on Madhavi's investigation, they conduct a raid. It is revealed that Ramesh Thapar has been using children from the rehabilitation home for sexual acts.

However, that same night Deepak meets with the owner of the newspaper, Mr Agarwal, who is the best friend of Ramesh. Agarwal tells Deepak that the newspaper receives major advertisement revenue and other sponsorship from Ramesh. Fearing major loss to his business, Agarwal declines to publish the story, and asks Deepak to fire Madhavi from the company.
Meanwhile, Gayatri, who supposedly turned her back on Bollywood and went back to Delhi, returns to Mumbai. In order to make a name for herself, she sleeps with a film director and gets cast in his next movie.

She is hired by newspaper editor Deepak Suri (Boman Irani), and is assigned the task of reporting on celebrity news, writing articles for Page 3. Her roommate Pearl Sequiera (Sandhya Mridul) is an air hostess who aims to marry a rich man so that she can have a lavish, exciting lifestyle. Gayatri Sachdeva (Tara Sharma), an aspiring actress, later joins them at the apartment. Gayatri becomes romantically involved with a leading actor, Rohit Kumar (Bikram Saluja), and soon finds out that she is pregnant. Rohit is aware that the pregnancy will ruin his career so he tells her to get an abortion. Depressed and shattered, Gayarti unsuccessfully tries to commit suicide and, in the process, loses her child. Meanwhile, Pearl marries a wealthy old man and moves to the United States, where she lives an extravagant but loveless life. Madhavi plans to expose Rohit by writing an article on his relationship with Gayatri, but her editor blocks the story, and she is forced to apologize to Rohit.Madhavi finds out that her boyfriend is bisexual, when she finds him in bed with her best friend, Abhijeet (Rehaan Engineer).

Storyline
Madhavi is a newspaper journalist in Mumbai whose task is to fill the
Page 3 column. Her job consists of attending parties among the socialite
and small-time celebrity circle and reporting on it. Her roommates are
Pearl, an air-hostess who wants to marry a rich man and settle down to a
life of comfort; and Gayatri, a struggling actress. Gayatri is seduced
by a leading married actor Rohit Kumar. When she finds out that she is
pregnant, he advises her to abort the baby. Dejected, Gayatri tries to
commit suicide but Madhavi and Pearl save her. She loses the baby and
leaves Mumbai. Madhavi's job of interacting with shallow high-society
people is depressing her. She wants to do some substantial reporting for
a change, so she is assigned to the Crime beat alongwith veteran
reporter Vinayak Mane. Written by

Too compelling yet without propaganda
The first review I saw of Page 3 said "what is madhur bhandarkar finally wants to say?". Should he say something so decisive.
The most beautiful thing about Page 3 is it doesn't take sides. No propaganda whatsoever. This is the film that captures so many angles of an issue(I don't know what do I call as an "issue" here) and yet like any mediocre movie doesn't come up with an solution. I was so intrigued when I realized that the movie ended almost in the same scenario just like it started.
The movie defines so many characters who are completely with completely different priorities and different ideologies and yet they are all a part of the system which is all the more apathetic. I wish i can say more but there would be more spoilers ahead. So watch Page 3 if you wanna see one of the most mature films of the recent times.

6 Types Of People You Will Always Meet On The Mumbai Party Scene!
Filmmaker and author Fahad Samar has followed up his bestselling novel Scandal Point with Flash Point,
the second instalment in his Mumbai trilogy. Set in the world of the
paparazzi and high society, here is an irreverent excerpt from Flash Point, enumerating assorted party animals that are found prowling the Page 3 circuit.So ladies and gentlemen, here are 6 types of characters you will always meet at these glamorous, fun yet somewhat crazy parties!
1) F3 (Fully Faltoo Filmi)
Several Bollywood actors and actresses find themselves at a loose end after discovering they have lost their on-screen lustre. Craving attention, they become permanent fixtures on the party circuit and land up at every event they are invited to, even, as a young director cattily observed, “to the opening of an envelope.”2) RSVP (Reality Show Veterans and Professionals)
This gaggle of unabashed C-listers earns their livelihood by acting outrageously in front of the media to garner publicity. They slap each other at parties, threaten to strip publically if India wins a cricket match and shamelessly debase themselves in order to receive offers to appear on reality shows. As the nation sniggers at their theatrics, these performing monkeys go laughing all the way to the bank, earning a fat fee for their exhibitionism.3) SPCA (Socialites Promoting Causes Always)
Some members of the glitterati have become notorious for championing every cause and charity imaginable. Inspired by the media attention that social activists are grabbing, these bleeding hearts have become socialite activists. But instead of staging downmarket dharnas and wasting wax at candlelight vigils, the cause celebs prefer to remain in climate-controlled surroundings and pay their publicists to plant stories expressing solidarity with issues that range in importance from Anna Hazare to Anna Kournikova.4) PGC (Professional Gate Crashers)
Not just wannabes, who often try sneaking into parties, a few well-heeled Mumbaikars also feel it their birthright to attend high profile events without bothering with the niceties of an invite. Convinced that they are welcome everywhere they habitually saunter in and air-kiss the organisers who immediately let it be known to the media that these pesky guests are not on their list.5) CSI Mumbai (Cheating Spouses Inc.)
Husbands and wives that cheat on one another are a source of great entertainment to the hoi polloi who have a hard time keeping track of which promiscuous socialite is sleeping with whom. Adulterous spouses sometimes arrive at the same event as a cuckolded partner or an ex, leading to red faces, hasty exits and occasionally a public showdown. A brazen, two-timing ménage a trois has succeeded in making many an evening in Mumbai an affair to remember.6) B3A (Badey Baap ki Bigdi Aulaad)
The metropolises of India are peppered with the impudent progeny of wealthy parents. Mumbai is not without its share of spoilt brats who shovel coke with a silver spoon and behave obnoxiously, convinced that the sun shines out of their little brown bottoms.Meanwhile, the paparazzi dutifully click as these party perennials preen and pose on the red carpet. Only a slender velvet rope separates the photographer from his glamorous subject. But that rope represents a barricade that is impossible to bridge.
