- Yeah.

I informed you earlier that...

...I won't be able to make it at

And you said you'll reschedule for 8.

You can't come at 7?

Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

Hi, Tarun. Landed. Great.

I'll be at the

airport in five minutes.

I'll see you.

Yes, Rani.

What?

The Zest meeting?

But...

Turn the car around.

Yeah, Tarun.

I... Yeah, I was on my way, but...

...I will have to go

back to the office...

...because my

meeting's been rescheduled.

Oh, come on, Maya.

I'm supposed to go back tomorrow.

I know, the CEO's here,

it's an important meeting.

It's my presentation,

so I've to be there.

Forget it now.

And at the end of the ad,

the boy and girl come closer...

...they kiss and they begin to dance.

This is obviously

where the music begins.

And they start twirling around.

Morning turns to night

and night to morning...

...and they're still twirling.

And as soon as the first ray

of light falls on the ocean...

...the by-line of your

product appears. - Yeah.

Zest condoms, this

night will never end.

'This night will never end.'

I like it. It works.

Yeah. Brilliant.

Hey, Maya. What happened?

Your boyfriend's

flight landed on time?

You're back early.

- Yeah.

- Great.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Wish you were here.

- Yeah.

- We've cracked it.

- No worry.

- Praful will brief you. Praful.

- Yes.

- Of course, of course.

- Yeah.

- So, shall we talk in the office?

- Of course.

The brief.

Hey, where have you been?

That bastard!

Bastard.

- Yes.

- Come, Rahul.

- What's he doing here?

- Trying to harass you, what else.

Look, the matter's

getting very complicated...

...so, we decided to

call you two together...

...and we want you to

talk this out face to face.

- Do you have an objection?

- I've no objection.

It's better. We can

talk face to face. - Yeah.

Let's finish this.

Maya, please continue.

We went to Gurgaon.

We had a presentation.

Rahul. We've got to

make this car no.1.

Tell me how will you do it?

Mr. Mehra, you've a great product...

...and we've a great game plan.

It's small, but it's a storm.

Rahul, I am sorry.

Let's just get the basics right here.

The fact is your

car's completely rubbish.

There are much better

cars in this segment...

...which are cheaper

and have better features.

So, I really don't

think it's worth it.

I think this car can

run on only one thing.

And that's celebrity endorsement.

According to me we should

hire a glamorous celebrity...

...or a film-star as

a brand ambassador.

He'll charge a few crores.

I hope you're okay

with that, Mr. Mehra?

And then you can show him...

...driving this car

amidst beautiful valleys...

...with beautiful girls.

Hide its average features...

...and this car will surely sell.

Let's sell it on style and glamour.

Instead of price and features. Right.

It's true, that our car

has no special feature.

You're being quite honest,

quite unlike other agencies.

Rahul, I must praise your find.

You really recognised her and

put her in the correct place.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the deal is on.

And, Rahul. 'Always hire

people better than you'.

Well done.

Just a minute. Just a minute!

Yes, I was angry.

But she didn't

mention why I was angry.

Did you forget... how this all started?

That day I met Maya at the airport.

Yes, mother.

She was speaking on the phone.

As soon as I arrived she asked...

What are you doing here?

Going to Delhi.

This campaign is very

important for our agency.

I will have to come along.

Hey mister. Show me the campaign.

You call this a campaign?

What's the first thing

Mehra's going to ask me?

He'll say. 'We've to

make this car no.1.'

'Tell me how will you do it? '

I will say there isn't a

single feature in this car...

...which will appeal to our consumer.

This car can run on only one thing.

And that isn't petrol, sir.

It's Celebrity endorsement.

Hire a big Bollywood star...

...make him drive around in

this car with beautiful girls...

...amidst beautiful valleys.

Hide the rubbish features of this car.

And then maybe this car will sell.

But that won't happen.

Because Mehra's a scrooge.

He won't shell out 5-6 crores.

So we'll have to go with what we have.

Praful, we've to make this better.

Wait, I don't get this.

Why didn't you tell

us all this earlier?

What difference does

it make, Mrs. Kaamdar?

Fine, he talked about the

celebrity pitch at the airport.

But the important thing is...

...who had the guts to

speak up before the client?

Who took the risk?

- But that's also irrelevant, I mean...

- Irrelevant?

That's the only relevant thing, Maya.

That you can do anything for power.

That's exactly why

we're sitting here. - No.

We're sitting here for what you

did with me in the hotel room!

What did I do with

you in the room, Maya?

I would like to know as well.

Music.

Cheers.

Hey where you gone?

Thank you so much for coming.

Guys, party over.

You Go.

Bye, bye. Thank you.

- Bye.

- No!

- Okay, for the road.

- Not fair.

For the road. We can finish it later.

Happy birthday... thank you so much.

Goodnight, Rahul.

What was all this, Maya?

My birthday party.

I'm not talking about the party.

What happened at the conference room?

The Bollywood

celebrity bit was my idea.

And you presented

that without asking me?

My idea, your idea.

- What difference does it make?

- You're crossing the line, Maya.

You forget that I am

the CEO of this company.

And you forget that I am the

National Creative Director.

All I am saying is that

there's a way of doing things.

Yes, your way of doing things?

Of Sucking up, right?

Dancing to your tunes, right?

Like I used to...

So that's what this was all about.

Sorry.

What are you looking at?

A new Maya.

Good or bad.

Sometimes in this job

it's good to be bad.

I learnt that from you.

Did I also teach you...

...to change the rules of

a relationship suddenly?

What relationship?

Oh, the one where

you're f***ing my head?

What do you want to say?

That everything will be

fine if I sleep with you?

That's one way to put it.

Did you say that?

Yes, I did.

Because I was bloody furious.

I was angry.

But do you want to know

what I actually wanted to do?

But did I do that?

No.

No. You didn't do anything like that.

But do you know what I

was feeling at the moment?

But that didn't happen.

Yes.

Something like that.

That everything will be

fine if I sleep with you?

That's one way to put it.

Just come here.

Rahul, goodnight and get out.

B*tch.

You've grown too big, have you?

I taught you everything.

And this is what I get?

- Stop it.

- I'll finish you.

Are you insane?

Nothing like that happened?

- Didn't you try to use force on me?

- Not at all.

You didn't do anything I just said?

National Creative

Director at her creative best.

The truth is that night

she was furious, drunk...

...and she tried to assault me.

Everything will be

fine if I sleep with you?

That's one way to put it.

- What the hell is wrong with you?
