‘Page 3’, produced by Bobby Pushkarna, 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.
Madhavi 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 (Sandhya Mridul) is an air hostess and wants to marry for money. Gayatri Sachdeva (Tara Sharma) later joins them. She is an aspiring actress and gets involved with a leading actor Rohit Kumar (Bikram Saluja). When she tells him she is pregnant he suggests she have an abortion; depressed and shattered, she unsuccessfully tries to kill herself and lands up losing her unborn child. She leaves Mumbai and returns to Delhi. Meanwhile, Pearl marries a wealthy old man and moves to the United States. Madhavi plans to expose Rohit Kumar (by writing an article on his relationship with Gayatri), but her editor kills the article and she is forced to apologise to Rohit Kumar.
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...
