<b>Konkana Sensharma as Madhavi Sharma</b>
Madhavi Sharma is a simple middle class girl with sound values and a strong belief system. She is a fiery and gutsy journalist who, in her fight for truth, loses everything - innocence, love, career and friends, but never loses hope.

<b>Atul Kulkarni as Vinayak Mane</b>
Vinayak Mane is a conscientious crime reporter who has no tolerance for Page 3 type of journalism. Initially, he is annoyed at having Madhavi reassigned to assist him. However, she eventually wins his respect.

<b>Boman Irani as Deepak Suri</b>
Boman Irani plays Deepak Suri, the editor of leading daily newspaper. He is a kind affable man who, inspite of feeling exasperated by a rebellious Madhavi, is genuinely fond of her. Deepak Suri represents the good yet weak and ineffective face of rank commercialism, which has defaced the noble profession of journalism.

<b>Upyendra Limaye as Inspector Arun Bhosle</b>
Inspector Arun Bhosle is an honest cop who pays a very high price for his integrity. His symbiotic working relationship with Vinayak Mane is a paradigm shift for the corrupt society that they, ironically, serve.
