"Aaj ka mantra hai 2 ghante dekho, Khao piyo aur khisko."

Emraan Hashmi, aka Raghu Khanna, gets into a brash argument with his father, Victor Khanna, played by the evergreen Naseeruddin Shah. With different ideologies about filmmaking and stakes held high at the box office, Raghu has no qualms in admitting that audiences today need masala, mass, and his fundamental dialogue, ‘2 ghante dekho, khao piyo aur khisko’

2. "Nepotism ke mukhote ke peeche akhir mei har outsider, insider banna chahta hain, nahi?"

Well, a forever ongoing debate in Bollywood: It's Raghu Khanna vs. Mahika Nandy in Showtime! When the two cross paths, Raghu takes a dig at Mahika (Mahima Makwana) and shows her the truth of showbiz

3. "Film ki Shuruaat toh bohot aasan hoti hai, thodi si nokh jhok, hasi mazak, thoda sa romance. Lekin asli maza toh interval ke baad hi shuru hota hai."

When Raghu Khanna is challenged by Mahika Nandy, his comfortable world moves upside down. Just like how the first half of the film is a pleasant set-up, the real thrill and excitement begin after the interval. With Raghu and Mahika at constant loggerheads, wonder what's going to be the fate of Viktory Studios!

4. "Bollywood ka khuda sirf actor hota hai."

Rajeev Khandelwal, aka Armaan Singh, in the series tells Emraan Hashmi, aka Raghu Khanna, that in this film industry, there is only one god, and that is always the actor. Armaan here is seen expressing the idea that in the world of Bollywood or the Hindi film industry, the biggest power or authority is held by the stars. Stardom is worshiped and revered above all else.

5. "Pitaji ke puraskaron par filmein banane wale, paise kamane wale log, aree inki harkaton pe toh nepotism bhi Sharma jaaye."

Mahima Makwana's character, Mahika Nandy, while reviewing Raghu Khanna’s new film, feels very strongly about his legacy name and studio and is all out to criticise him. She leaves no stone unturned in condemning the exploitation of his privilege and influence for personal gain within the industry.
