Its Breaking News the film bares all that goes behind sting operations, the ways and means a few channel heads stoop to – for the ultimate bottom-line- to attract eyeballs in these times of fierce competition among Television Channels.
Without resorting to any technical wizardry nor any melodrama, It’s Breaking News says it all in the most simplistic course and is an engrossing story.
Vidya (Koel Purie) is a young, dynamic, self-motivated news correspondent with a TV Channel, who has just finished a course in journalism and is all charged to take up confrontations of this profession. She then is forced to quit entertainment and cover crime. Gradually, she gets the hang and feel of it.
Eventually she is now addicted to the thrill and ecstasy of the job and once, she even tries to fool around with the so called ethics and codes of journalism by creating situations to get a story for her channel.

Our reporter had promised the victim that the entire episode of ‘live rape’ footage would not be telecast but will be kept aside for defense of the victim in the court.
Despite Vidya’s caution to the editor of her TV channel, it is shown all over the town. Vidya herself is disturbed to see the telecast of the whole footage ‘as it is’ in her news channel.
Bugged with the whole system, she leaves for her uncle’s place (Virendra Saxena), who had been insisting her to visit his press. After the debacle, she is a matured scribe and realizes the genuine power and nuance of journalism and gets the spur to fight back the system. With close friend Bala (Abhimanyu Singh), a crime correspondent in a rival channel, she decides to get the victim justice.
Its Breaking News showcases the behind-the-scenes drama involved or “developed” before a scandal is unleashed to the viewers. The sting operations are compellingly executed.
Director Vishal Inamdar has brilliantly portrayed this depiction behind the reality thankfully with just one song in the film. Koel Purie is attractive and good at her job.
