It seems that Joshi's teenage daughter died because of a brutal rape by the man whom he would later slay. Joshi meets Ajay and Ria then tells them the truth behind the whole incident. Many die who had no connection with the rivalries of Joshi and his victim, in a corporate attempt to scare the survivors into believing that Joshi is part of a "foreign hand" of bullies. He is accused of terrorism and the country is thrown into an uproar. When a businessman is assassinated on election eve, the assassin, Mohan Joshi (Paresh Rawal) is arrested on the spot, but manages to escape days later during the media coverage. In response, a rival TV channel, with dropping ratings, hires Ria Banerjee (Juhi Chawla) to counter Ajay's popularity. Ajay Bakshi (Shahrukh Khan) is a TV reporter and with his rather unorthodox style, he enjoys celebrity status to the point of arrogance. Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, focuses on the media war being fought in the TV newsrooms. The film only managed to pick up one award - in 2001, the Award for Technical Excellence from Awards of the International Indian Film Academy.

The film had mixed reviews from critics and audiences and failed at the box office, even though it was a high-profile film by director Aziz Mirza, it could not emulate the successes his previous films Yes Boss and Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman had. Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani focuses on the media war being fought in the TV newsrooms. The film was directed by Aziz Mirza and stars Shahrukh Khan as Ajay Bakshi, a confident, loudmouth TV reporter, and Juhi Chawla as Ria Banerjee, Ajay's rival reporter.
