Summary: Page 3 is, at its core, a movie about India’s most wealthy and famous socialites. The heroine of the film is Madhvi, played by Konkona Sen Sharma. Madhvi is a journalist at the Nation Today Newspaper. Her job is to report on the lives of India’s biggest socialites on “Page 3” – covering their parties and daily activities. Her life becomes complicated when Gayatri – an actress, played by Tara Sharma – moves in with her. They become close friends. Eventually, Madhvi gets tired of the kind of reporting she is doing. She starts focusing on more serious issues going on India, besides the shallow lives of the stars. She uncovers some dark secrets of the rich and famous and ultimately gets fired because of her reporting. Page 3 shows that people often have public and private faces, live dual lives, and destroy relationships in the process. The movie is like Dil Se and Pyaasa in that it tries to show the relevant issues in India today. Though it did not do well in the box office, it is an enjoyable film to watch. -Kate Curley
