The story “Showbiz” gives the impression to the people that it would have something to do with fame game. However, there is nothing of that sort in the movie. It is the debut film of choreographer Raju Khan who tried his best to bring forth some interesting facts about the tinsel world of glamor. The plot line of the story is that TV channels are always looking for spicy stuff to boost their TRPs and gain recognition in the eyes of viewers. There are a couple of channels who even resort to unethical practices by fabricating the story and tampering with the facts. It is portrayed how only that part of story is shown that can catch attention of the people. There are some news that are largely edited before being aired on the television. The news channels ignore the core aspects and pick the elements that can cause sensation.

NNN News is a TV channel that is owned by Gulshan Grover. He hires journalists who have mastery in twisting the story and give it an entirely new turn. The basic theme of the movie is that, in the contemporary time, media is serving as one of the most potent weapons in the hands of people possessing power and wealth. Media is no more playing the role of watchdog by keeping a track of the activities of Government and other authorities who are responsible for maintaining the law and order and establishing the rules and regulations for the country. Raju Khan missed out on few things; first and foremost being the right balance between media and glamor world.

Tushar Jalota ( Rohan Arya) has played the role of a much sought after singer. He is often used by media person Sushant Singh to increase the popularity of his channel. He keeps on fabricating stories one after the other to sensationalize the whole atmosphere. He goes to the extent of cooking up the story of his car accident in which it is shown that he was drunk while he was driving. There is a lady who meets with the accident and it is deliberately shown that something went wrong with her. The zipper of her blouse was intentionally pulled down to add to the sensation. The movie shows how the media persons have started compromising on their moral values to earn their living. Mrinalini Sharma and Tushar Jalota have been able to make a good start as a newcomer. Music is okay but there is nothing extraordinary.
