At the heart of the glitzy sector of Bollywood, Showtime presents the story of the ongoing struggle between insiders and outsiders. Here, a second-generation film heir faces off against a determined young journalist. But their confrontation isn’t just about gatekeeping in the industry – it’s about reviving the true essence of Hindi cinema, buried under a flood of flashy but shallow films.

Showtime 2024 Movie Story
Set in bustling Mumbai, Victory Studios reigns as a Bollywood giant. Victor Khanna, played by Naseeruddin Shah, is the patron of the studio. But he doubts whether his son Raghu, played by Emraan Hashmi, can lead the studio like him. They often clash.
Tension reaches its peak when Raghu’s film “Pyaar Dangerous” starring Mahika Nandy (Mahima Makwana) is criticized. She exposes how Raghu’s team bribed the reviewers.
Things change when Victor meets Mahika. Before ending his life, he hands the studio over to her, revealing that she is his granddaughter. Raghu faces an uphill climb to rebuild, while Mahika steps into her new role, juggling power and legacy in the cutthroat world of Bollywood.
Showtime 2024 Web Series Review
If Karan Johar makes a show on nepotism then it will definitely get viewers. Backed by Dharma Productions, the show is produced by Sumit Roy, who co-wrote Karan’s recent film “Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani”. Like that movie, Sumit really gets to know what’s going on in the world. He sees things clearly and makes them relevant. But something is missing, something that gives this show heart and soul.
They are here to steal the show!
