Madhur from CHANDNI BAR started making realistic films, which some people called dry He made SATTA which was another realistic though filmy film but a great filmAAN men at work was a formula film by him which floppedHe returns with his superlative PAGE 3A film which dwelves into the lives of journalists and it's a brilliant filmThe film is well narrated though the half baked romantic portions of Konkana could be avoided but that is forgivenThe entire Upendra Limaye track is superb toowhile the Atul Kulkarni track is great tooThe dial between Manoj Joshi and his friends are funny at first but repetitive at timesThe subplot of Bikram- Tara is brilliant and so is the entire hospital scene and also the final child abuse which shocks youThe film has a open ended ending which is nicely handledMadhur does a great job Music is okayKonkana excels as Madhavi, using her expressions to the best Tara Sharma is decent except her voice Sandhya Mridul is good as usual Upendra Limaye excels in his part as the cop, one of the talented actors Sadly he isn't used well nowdays Atul Kulkarni too is good in his small part Boman Irani is restrained and does a great job rest are okay

No doubt a fresh subject, a new approach, a good effort but Madhur Bhandarkar seems to have caught up with too many things to be able to do justice to the subject. The parties of rich and famous people which serve too many purposes-all different for different people here covers up just a few general things. Film caught up with too many hotch-potch characters with their hectic events and some politically correct portrayal of other side. Madhur should have refrained from getting into mortal comment which gives a one sided approach to film. One more fallout is that it is not just film-makers or film stars, which asks for sexual favors from wannabes but also those representing corporate, fashion, political and advertising world. And here was an excellent opportunity to showcase them too, but not chosen. Overall, this is one hell of a sensible portrayal which take audience to an interesting trip without being pretentious or melodramatic. It is honest in parts. It really rocks.

Page 3 is a great movie. The story is so refreshing and interesting. Not once throughout the movie did i find myself staring off into space. Konkana Sen did a good job in the movie, although i think someone with more glamour or enthusiasm would have been better, but she did do a great job. All the supporting actors were also very good and helped the movie along. Boman Irani did a great job. There is one thing that stands out in this movie THE STORY it is great, and very realistic, it doesn't beat around the bush it is very straight forward in sending out its message. I think more movie like this should be made, i am sick of watching the same candy floss movies over and over, they are getting hard to digest now. Everyone should watch Page 3, it is a great film. -Just my 2 cents :)

Seen the film and liked it. The director did a neat job in depicting the true picture of a separate world that exists in the Indian glamour world and the unignorable role of the press. Also shows how easy it is to shoot to stardom if you can stash your (and other's) pockets with cash. There's nothing money can't buy -- even acceptability. Pros -- 1. The story2. The pace at which the events take place -- there is no drag.3. Pointing out the true message -- "Crime Reporting is true journalism, Page3 is nothing but entertainment". 4. Echoing the true message -- that we all have to "adjust" to the "system". 5. Chauffeurs are not fools. Cons -- 1. Konkona SenSharma. She was too bland. Seemed to merely utter the lines she was asked to. Failure to infuse life into the role. Even though the role was absolutely cut out for Karishma Kapoor, I understand the director was aiming for a low star cast movie. Isha Kopikar(!) could have done a better job I guess -- adding a bit of glamour (for Page 3) and character too.
