l tell you today.

Either spend a lifetime..

..looking back at your failures..

or use this opportunity to move on

Okay.

Hello.

- Hi Vinay. - How are you?

How are you?

- l'm good. Where are you going?

Off to the gym. But you relax.

Feel comfortable. - l'll be okay.

- Wilson? - Yes, ma'am?

Take care of sir.

Okay?

- Yes, ma'am.

See you later. Take care.

- Bye. - Bye.

Give me a call, huh?

- Yeah.

l'll let you know.

Hi.

- Hi.

How are you?

- l'm fine.

l'll take a shower and join you,

okay? - Okay. - Okay.

Did you talk to the astrologer?

- Yes

There was no network for two days.

l spoke to him in Ujjain today

He said, since today is Wednesday,

l must wear the sapphire

lt's her sixth month. l must go

to Delhi for her fertility rites

l've called her over so many times.

But going to Delhi..

ls it necessary to go there?

The ritual can be performed here

She's our only daughter

Let me think

Tell your son-in-law to go

slow on his hobby of hunting game

He has been asked to

strictly keep off stripping them

l'll have a word with him

There's an exhibition at Anita

Jaitley's art-gallery this evening

l hope you're coming?

- l'll try to

When you called this morning,

l was with Deepa

She suspected it was

you l was talking to

Lobo.. you see that mare?

- Tanaaz? What about her?

Earlier, she used to play

along with just about anybody

But now, she's seen

only in Tyagi's company

What do you think is cooking?

- Jhandu..

looks like l need to explain

it to you at the corporate level

Earlier, she was a public enterprise.

So she went with just about anyone

She's now in the private domain.

So she goes only with Tyagi, okay?

Know what? l've heard the bosses

say it so often at meetings..

Let's sleep over the issue

What issue they come up with

after they sleep, l have no idea

Now pin it up quickly. Else,

there'll be another issue!

45 per cent of the

soft drink market is..

..concentrated in the western region

So this PSU is strategically located

Okay, what plans do we have

for statewise product launches?

We'll first launch wafers and

crunchies and later, soft drinks

Which means, we'll first

feed the public fried stuff..

and when they feel thirsty, we

sell our soft-drinks to them

You could say that, sir

Okay.. who's our closest

rival in this PSU acquisition?

The Marwah Group.

Our traditional rivals

At the moment, they're thinking

of making mineral water at the PSU

l see.. when is the

public issue of Friscon due?

With the product launch.

ln another six months

March?

- Yeah, just about.

The shares are much sought after

The bookmakers are quoting

350 to 400 in the gray market

Okay, so Navin?

What's next on the agenda?

There's a meeting with the State

Finance Minister. Gulabrao lngle

We have about 35,000 retail outlets..

and our company provides

employment to roughly 800,000 people

Sir Friscon lndia is

an alliance between..

..two of the world's

biggest consumer food giants.

Yes, l know. - Sir, we

have great respect for you..

and would like to take

care of you in every respect

No, never mind that. A

PSU is national property

We'll take a decision after we

have looked into all the aspects

And our government

treats everybody equally

There is no favouritism. But

go ahead, file your bid..

do not worry. l'm here..

l'll take care

Hail lndia, Hail Maharashtra

Does business need politics more?

Or does politics need business?

lt's a question worth pondering

As soon as the

disinvestment plan in the..

..public sector unit was announced..

business groups were

desperate to acquire it

The executives of Marwah and Sehgal..

began working out the

profits the PSU would yield

ln order to

strengthen their positions..

all business groups got

together to make their best bids

But Gulabrao represented a

different political party in the state

lt was difficult to

gauge from his mood..

as to whom he would

entrust this PSU to

Sir, we've offered Jhunjhunwala's

3.3 billion for a complete buy off

Plus, distribution in the south.

- Have they agreed?

Of course.

- Perfect

Please have the agreement ready.

Parvez will take a look tomorrow..

and we have a meeting

the day after tomorrow

Shirley..

- Yes, sir?

this deal file of Jhunjhunwala's is

very important. Put it away safely

l'll need this file tomorrow morning.

- Okay sir.

Hi Nishi.

Hi Pervez.

You're getting more and more

beautiful with every passing day

What's the secret?

Keep guessing.

- Yeah.

l will.

Nishi, don't you think you're

wasting your time at the Sehgal Group?

Why don't you join us? We

Could give you a good offer

But l'm very happy with the Sehgals.

Really?

What is it that keeps you

glued to the Sehgal Group?

ls it Ritesh?

Maybe.

May l ask you something, Parvez?

What is it with your house

that you can't stop flirting..

..whenever you see a girl?

ls it a bad vibe?

ls it a bad marriage?

Or an average looking,

narrow-minded wife?

Well, both.

- Both?

Excuse me.

Yes..? All right, l'll be there

Sorry, l've got to go. See you.

Nishi.. do think about my offer

Hi Shirley.. how are you?

- l'm okay

Sorry, l had to call

you to a place like this

That's okay. So..

what information is it?

lt's about Maharashtra Bottling

Marwah has offered a

deal to Jhunjhunwala

Parvez gave me the documents

yesterday. l have the photo-copies

l hope nobody in your

office is suspicious about this?

Not yet

Thanks, Shelley. Here you are

Hello. Navin..?

So what's the deal?

Marwah has offered you 3.3 billion.

- Yes

For a complete buy-out.

You also get

distribution rights for the South

Yes

The Sehgal Group will give you

21 billion for a 51 per cent stake

And also Sri Lanka,

apart from South lndia

Also the distribution

rights in the entire..

..North Eastern states will be yours

And this is not just

for the new products.

But for the entire

range of existing products.

Ritesh..

The valuation of your company would

be in the range of 4 billion plus

And the distribution will fetch an

additional 750 million ever year

Year after year after year.

Are you serious Ritesh? The

offer is too mouth-watering.

As l said, if we give you a

better deal than the Marwah's..

..You can congratulate us

lt's a deal.

- Thank you.

l sent you to Jhunjhunwala to

find out what Marwah had offered him

And you went ahead and

made a commitment to him?

l made him an offer, he liked it..

On what basis, Ritesh?

What made you do it?

Did you discuss it with someone,

or seek anybody's permission?

With me or the management?

- No

l didn't consider it necessary.

- Ah!

How can you give him distribution

rights in our current products?

What's the problem if

some new people are..

..brought into our

distribution system?

So what happens of our

current distributors?

They've been with us all these years,

even in our bad times..

Doesn't that mean anything

to you? And you, Nishi..?

you know everything.. at least
