...so we need to celebrate as well.

- Exactly.

What do you say?

How sweet.

Chosen by words, woven by words.

Everything we said,

everything we heard.

I didn't have a clue,

neither did you.

Wonder where the

words made a mistake.

The words try to

say something unsaid.

The words try to

narrate something unheard.

They wounded the heart.

Words decieved the words itself.

Maya.

Silence is trying to speak out.

You are okay na!

Yes, but where were you?

I was stuck at the gate.

How are you.

I told them that I'm Maya's boyfriend,

but they still stopped me at the gate.

I'll get you towel.

So then what happened in the

swimming pool was harassment?

It was? Wasn't?

Was? Wasn't? I don't know, ma'am.

But since you're the expert,

you tell me.

When the woman is not

liking the flirtation...

...then it could be harassment.

- Really.

Depends on the woman.

So tell me then, Mrs. Kaamdar...

...where's the fine line

between flirting and harassment?

Otherwise, this way

anyone can say anything.

Right?

Maybe you haven't the

slightest idea, Mrs. Kaamdar.

But you're looking stunning

in that green sari. - Okay.

I get the point.

So now what? Did you like it or not?

Was that flirting or harassment?

Are you going to sue me?

Come on, flirting is fun goddammit.

And we're in an advertising agency.

...work together for 20

hours a day, selling what?

Condoms. Sanitary napkins. Lingerie.

If they can't joke with one another...

...it'll become too

serious an environment.

And this agency won't sell a product.

As for Maya? I don't know.

When did she feel it was harassment?

She didn't say anything at all then.

I let it go then,

because... because we were friends.

It did feel slightly uncomfortable,

but...

...you know, we were friends.

I trusted him. I believed him so...

...I let it go.

Oh, so it's about

trust and belief now?

Its funny.

There was trust all these years...

...and now it's suddenly broken?

And in whom?

The person because of

who she's in this agency?

I don't get it.

You know who actually

placed trust in whom?

And the award for the best

ad film of the year goes to.

KK Advertising.

To present the award may

I call upon Mr. Ghosh.

Looser...

It's all fixed.

It's been rigged.

Loosers...

Of course, that was my award.

They cheated...

They don't deserve it.

I'll have two drinks.

Two drinks, please.

- Hello.

- Hi and piss off!

I'm too upset right now.

Why? Because you didn't get the award?

Rahul Verma.

I am never going to get a

job in advertising now, right?

But... our campaign was better.

Much better.

Hello Maya.

I will just be back.

He's had too much while

celebrating his victory.

- Congratulate him.

- Oh, my God!

Give me your hand.

- Are you falling intentionally?

- Who knows?

So... was my campaign really that bad?

- Frankly speaking... it was pathetic.

- Why?

A few of your friends

might have liked it...

...but you forgot all

about the product.

Have a real drink.

So why is that?

Because... I don't work for you, right?

Maybe.

So are you... offering me a job?

I never said that.

But maybe, few months

later when you're sober again...

...and you want to work seriously,

then let's see.

That's me.

Okay, but I am not that type.

I won't sleep with you.

Hey babes, what are you doing here?

- Come on Let's dance...

- I was just getting a drink...

Come on.

It wasn't the just the job...

...I was like the

'fairness cream' in her life.

Meaning?

The Doors open.

A girl from Solan. In the big city.

A VT station. Lost, scared.

But she had determination, talent.

All she needed was

direction and focus.

Cut.

He comes.

He sees.

'That's me.' Takes her under his wing.

'But I am not that type.'

Excuse me?

Could you tell me

where Rahul Verma is?

The question is...

...does Rahul Verma knows where he is?

He taught her to walk.

How to walk, how to speak,

how to dress...

...how to sell her ideas.

And at the end the

rooster will say to the child...

One, two, three, four...

Let's brush our teeths.

Let's brush away those germs.

Let's make those teeth stronger.

Come on, man.

Do you like it?

It's nonsense.

It's bullshit.

What writing? Cock-a-doodle-doo.

It took you three

months to write this?

There's a thought

behind this actually.

- I mean, I...

- What? That you stammer?

I can see your confidence.

My thought on this is...

...I sh*t ideas like

this every morning.

Maybe, I'll get toilet

paper from tomorrow.

Anyway...

It's rubbish (old film song)

It's rubbish.

Rahul. It's a good campaign.

We're selling children's toothpaste...

...so it has to be

in-tune with the children?

- It's too late.

- Meaning?

I mean it was a good idea.

But if the client calls it crap...

...will you start

stammering during the presentation?

They'll scrap a good campaign.

There's no dearth of

good ideas in this world.

Learn to save your ideas.

So you're giving me a

lesson on handling clients.

Not just clients, life too.

Please, don't screw

this presentation, okay.

More confidence.

Cock-a-doodle-doo.

Cock-a-doodle-doo.

And then the baseline appears...

...with the pack, pearly whites.

All day long, Cock-a-doodle-doo.

I am not saying, but I think...

...it'll go over the top

of the children's heads.

Ramlal?

Sir, chickens only lay eggs.

But I think this is crap.

I'm not saying.

Sir, we were thinking...

...since this is

children's toothpaste...

...it should have a kids tune.

So, it'll stick.

But, Rahul, why are we

changing the campaign now?

I'll tell you why

this campaign is better.

You see a lot of ads on television.

Which one do you remember?

- Fevicol. Heave ho...

- Good. Good. Very good.

Why? Because it's different.

In this horde of media, to stand out...

...you will have to do

something different.

But, I am not saying you're right...

...but you're right,

but I am not saying.

But what's the guarantee?

Guarantee?

Fine, our agency takes the guarantee.

If this campaign doesn't succeed...

...we'll return all that

you spend on the media.

I am not saying, you're not saying.

See I am just saying

but if you're saying.

What choice do we have at this stage?

Okay.

Great guys.

A ray of sunlight

falls on the product...

...and that same ray touches her face.

And now her face's glowing.

She is confident.

She is ready... to take on the world.

That was my effect on her.

Mrs. Kaamdar, if I can

sell you age-defying cream...

...then of course I can

make a small-town girl...

...the national

creative head of this agency.

Of course he taught me everything.

In fact, he taught

me everything I know.

And yet, here I am,

sitting before you.

But does that mean that

every time he walks in...

...I just spread my legs.

...'come, Mr. Rahul. Enjoy yourself'.

Is he recovering a debt?

Do I have to repay him?

What else will you call it...

...other than taking undue advantage,

Mrs. Kaamdar.

Undue advantage? Is

that what she said?
