Some tropes I found till now:

  • Intrepid Reporter: Shivajirao Gaekwad, the protagonist, falls under this category as he always tries to expose Chief Minister Balraj Chauhan's lies using just critical thinking and factual analysis.
  • Sleazy Politician: Chief Minister Balraj Chauhan is known to lie about his family background to gain sympathy votes
  • Sinister Minister: Chief Minister Balraj Chauhan and his friends fall under this category according to his assistant himself
  • Toilet Humour: When Shivajirao Gaekwad authorises the arrest order for every single corrupt minister in the state of Maharashtra, they all flee to the toilet in a Last Ditch Move to avoid getting arrest.
  • Gonzo Journalism: The film begins with a couple shots of news channels focusing on distracting the public from Chief Minister Chauhan's immoral acts

You'll want to take the matter here.

Be kind.

That's enough for a start, as long as you make them all to fit our rules on Example Context...

For others, you could always ask for help on Trope Finder, browse around the site, or even look at similar pages to see if any tropes stand out as being relevant.

Your first three examples are Zero Context Examples because they don't properly explain how the trope applies.

  • Intrepid Reporter: Shivajirao Gaekwad, the protagonist, falls under this category as he always tries to expose Chief Minister Balraj Chauhan's lies.
^ Doesn't make it clear that this character is a reporter, intrepid or otherwise. The closest you get is talking about him trying "to expose Chief Minister Balraj Chauhan's lies", which could be done by someone who wasn't a reporter, such as a private investigator.

^ "Chief Minister" covers the politician part of this trope, but there's nothing to indicate that he's "sleazy". Does he accept bribes? Does he rig elections? Does he unfairly take advantage of his family connections? We call this a Partial-Context Example, and it's on a par with not including context at all.

  • Sinister Minister: Chief Minister Balraj Chauhan and his friends fall under this category
^ Again, you've got the minister part, but there's nothing to indicate that they're sinister.

And a quick note that phrases like "falls under this category" are not considered sufficient context. You have to make it clear what "category" the character (or whatever) falls under. If you made the page with the trope list in its current state, you'd run the risk of it being cut for being a stub because, if the ZCEs were commented out note , you would only have two tropes visible. A works page must have at least three (properly contextualised) tropes listed.

Anyway, if you haven't done so already, I recommend reading How to Create a Work's Page.

bowserbros already linked to a thread that's better suited to this conversation than Ask The Tropers and WarJay already pointed out that Trope Finder is the place to ask asbout specific tropes, so locking.
