Hello.
Hello, sir.
Where are you?
I've reached, sir. I'm near the exit now.
Come to the parking area.
- Parking... - Here.
Hi, sir.
Sir, I am Mashood.
Had lunch?
No.
Is Chinese cuisine okay?
- Yeah. - Get in.
(faint traffic sounds)
(opening theme music)
Hello. Good evening, guys. Be seated!
Hello.
Good job! Good job!
Good work.
- Good, good! - (man) Hello, sir.
Guys, our Central Kerala team has hit the target this quarter.
And our new joinees... Nanda, Yasin...
Look at these numbers, guys!
₹21.2 lakh!
Good job, Nanda! Good job!
- Sit. - Thank you.
Be seated. Sit, sit!
Yasin, ₹12.9 lakh!
- Wow, superb! Superb! Sit. - (applause)
Next is minus 10%.
First time I'm seeing a rep drag the sales down.
Pathetic.
Guys, let's move on.
Our company's most prestigious launch...
KydoXin!
(clapping)
A medicine pregnant women must take for their babies.
And the best thing is
the launch will be accompanied by a study.
So, we need to recruit five gynaecologists today,
who will support us no matter what.
Each doctor should prescribe this medicine to at least 200 patients.
Our Central Kerala team should be number one in this study.
So, tell me.
Who will sell the most KydoXin in the state?
Wow! Superb!
(tense music)
I know you aren't capable of doing it,
but couldn't you at least raise your hand for team spirit?
Useless!
(tense music continues)
How many numbers will each of you be committing?
Tell me, go on.
Deepa?
Come on, tell me.
250.
- Asha? - 220.
- Sreejith? - 300.
300? Whoa! That's my boy!
Next.
(traffic cacophony)
Hello.
(woman) Have you had dinner?
No, I'm about to. Did you eat, Mom?
I did. I need to take my medicine, don't I?
Are you in pain?
I am used to it now.
You work peacefully there.
Okay. Go get yourself some food. And pray with all your heart.
Okay, Mom. I will.
- (traffic rumbles) - (temple bells toll)
(bike idling)
(phone ringing)
Hello?
(man) There's a big order. No one is here to take it.
If you come to the depot now, you'll get it.
- Yeah, I'll be right there. - Okay, make it quick.
(bike revving)
(energetic score)
Sister, here's the medicine.
(score continues)
I was praying...
for a good sale,
and your call came at the perfect time.
So, it's your prayer that was answered, was it?
Two patients came in with heart attacks.
I wonder why their prayers weren't answered.
No, sister, I didn't--
The usual brand's medicine was out of stock.
The stockist refused to deliver it, too.
That's when the doctor suggested your brand.
Don't forget to go to the pharmacy and sign the bill.
I will do that.
Let this be here, sister.
Just an appreciation. (chuckles)
Sorry, I don't want this pen.
I'm getting it because of those heart attack cases, right?
The relatives of these patients are sitting outside.
How can I go past them with this pen?
Carry on.
Here.
(low, emotional music)
(music intensifies)
(music continues)
Our job is so depressing!
Our business thrives on the pain of others.
Really?
If not you, someone else will do it. That's all.
Just focus on selling medicines, Vinod.
That's not happening either.
Business was better the last two months when there was no staff.
- After I came, it dipped. - Want an omelette?
No.
- A double omelette, please. - Okay.
Hey...
There are plenty of good doctors in Thrissur.
Honest, excellent doctors.
But if your company only focuses on cunning doctors,
you have to be even more cunning than them!
There's no room for sentiments in the pharma business.
What more can I do with this? I'm so fed up.
Everyone's seen you struggle all month.
Many are even asking about you.
- Who's asking about me? - (phone rings)
Well...
Just a minute.
- Hello? - (Alex) Hello...
Where are you? What's up?
I...
I was having dinner.
(sniggers) What are you eating?
I... that... Parotta.
Okay. Have your food.
Take money from the company, do no work,
and stuff yourself with parotta!
The award you got during training must've been for eating.
It's been a month, and you haven't brought in one good sale.
KydoXin's launch is around the corner.
I need your action plan by morning.
Okay.
Now, go ahead and shovel food!
Your damn parotta!
(whimsical score)
(mutters) What do I do now?
Davis bro...
Who was asking about me?
What?
You said someone was asking about me.
Here.
Go meet him someday.
(bike engine rumbling)
Why are you here?
You neither pick up my calls nor reply to my messages.
What's going on with you?
So? This is a petty lodge!
So what?
This is not Mumbai.
Just answer my question.
You want me to answer right here?
No. You can answer anywhere.
Come here.
(playful tune)
Zaathi.
You didn't say no to him?
I didn't say yes either.
A solid no is the only no.
He's a doctor. Why would I want to tick him off?
And if sales drop like this, I'll have to resign immediately.
You can look for other companies.
No other company offers medical coverage like this.
Do you know how much Mom's dialysis costs every month?
I studied pharmacology and got into sales...
just to earn money.
Work isn't just about money.
How's your dad's business?
It's cool.
It's going well.
Mmm-hmm.
- Ah! You were pulling my leg. - Yes.
I can say anything I want because I'm rich, right?
Correct.
You can say whatever you want because you're rich!
I also want to make money.
Oh! In that case, have you seen KydoXin's incentive chart?
No.
Sell KydoXin and make enough money, man.
- Long odds. - Why?
I only get the incentive if I hit the target, right?
I'm barely managing as it is.
Don't you remember our training days?
You used to come last in every game,
and then somehow you'd jump ahead and finish first.
That's all.
You're really good at bouncing back, man!
Bouncing-back man!
Cool.
First, give me my shirt back.
Right now?
See how your face lit up!
Can't you visit me more often to light up my face?
But this is not Mumbai.
So?
It's a petty lodge.
Oh!
So?
(both chuckle)
I will make it, right?
Of course!
(placid music)
(man) Hold it there.
Two, four...
Shall I keep it here?
Yeah, that's cool.
Leave it here for now.
(low, puzzling score)
Bro...
First room on the second floor.
(upbeat score)
(auto engine rumbles)
This title, "Study," itself is problematic, K.P.
How can this be a study?
Doctor, the title is the only issue you have, right?
Then just don't think of it as a study.
You're just prescribing it to a few patients, that's all.
If it's helping the patients, then what's the issue, Doctor?
Just prescribe it, please.
Also, don't accept any compliments or gifts for this.
That makes it okay, doesn't it?
Please?
If you start this now, it will really help me.
These are the details of the patients.
Sister, wanna try this KydoXin?
Savithri is two months pregnant.
Really?
Congrats.
This is for you. Two samples.
So, shall I put Savithri's name down?
Sure.
Savithri.
Nice. Lovely name.

(woman) How does it feel to be the champ?
This time, we should go to Goa!
- We will rock this time. - (all women agree)
(man) K.P.!
Congrats.
- Thank you. - Don't forget our treat.
Oh, sure.
- Hey, rockstar! - (in Hindi) Congrats, bro! You killed it!
(woman) Congratulations, K.P. We need a treat, okay?
Definitely.
Hi.
Hey, K.P.! Good job, man.
(indistinct chatter)
- Congrats, buddy. - Thank you.
(phone ringing)
Hey, buddy. Congrats, man.
(in Tamil) You even got a car! Happy now?
- Yeah. Thank you. - Okay.
(phone keeps ringing)
Hello.
- (Alex) K.P.! - Yes, sir.
Here. Look this way.
Here, towards the reception.
- Hi. - Come here.
- Come here for a minute. - Okay.
- Sir. - K.P.,
It's the first time someone from my team topped on a national level.
- Thanks, man. - Anything for our team, sir.
In that case, I've got a gift for you.
Gift?
Princy...
(puzzling score)
Sir... no, sir.
(chuckles) This is not for you, man.
So, in Thrissur, the only one left for you
to get on board is Dr. Sreenivasan, right?
This is for him.
- Understood? - For the doctor?
Come, man.
Listen, K.P.
My strategy is to keep tempting people until they fall for it.
Everything will fall into place today.
Come.
(mysterious score)
(knocks on the door)
Come.
Doctor...
- Vinod. - Hi, Doctor.
Did you see his happiness?
Learn from him, K.P.!
Come on.
It's all set for you now.
In just two years, you'll reach my level.
Then, in the next three years, you'll become the state head.
After three years, you'll hit the national level!
Your future is set, man!
Come on, let's have a few drinks.
No, sir. I should get to the party…
Okay. It's your day, after all.
You deserve to celebrate.
Okay, sir.
I'll be there by the time you receive the award. Okay?
Okay.
Where were you? The award ceremony's about to start.
Let's go.
Well... the boss called me.
What does he want from you today?
Some calculations, distributions and stuff.
Enough of your damn distribution! Come on.
- (mysterious score) - (crowd whooping)
Come.
(mysterious score builds)
(woman) Hello, sir.
Hi, Anjana. Had your breakfast?
Yes, sir.
- What did you eat? - Four idlis.
Ugh! Our team is struggling to meet the target because of you!
And you're happily eating idlis!
- Aren't you ashamed? - Sorry, sir.
Don't call me till you close one lakh.
Okay, sir.
Her damn idlis!
(line ringing)
- Manu! Good morning, dear. - Good morning, sir.
- Recovered from your hangover? - Oh, stop it, sir!
- So, have a good day! - Thank you.
- What's your location today? Ranni? - Yes. On my way, sir.
Take care. Enjoy.
(breathing in short gasps)
- What are you looking for? - Inhaler.
(line ringing)
(man) Hi, sir. Good morning.
- Manjith, sure you can do it today? - Yes, sir!
I won't be the same if you can't gather prescriptions, okay?
I'll do it today for sure.
I'll update you, sir.
All right.
- Where's your inhaler? - That's what I'm looking for!
- How did this end up in the room? - You must've kept it there, Mom.
Really? Come here!
- Hello? - (man) Hello.
- Arun! - Good morning, sir.
- What's up? Can you do it? - Yes, sir. Today itself.
- Ensure the stock's there by 4 p.m. - Sure, sir.
Okay then.
We're leaving, K.P.
- Let me be, Mom. Enough! - Stay still, Shalini!
Ta-ta!
(Shalini) Ta-ta!
Mom, yesterday, in my class...
- Hello. - (woman) Hello, sir.
- All good for the day? - Yes, sir. Sales will go up today.
- Send me the report, okay? - Sure.
- Good day, sir. - Okay.
(phone rings)
Hello, Doctor?
Are you in town, K.P.? I want to see you.
Sure. I was in Thrissur a couple of days ago.
No. Can I see you today?
Er, today?
Yes. It's a bit urgent, K.P.
Okay.
I'll be at the hospital.
- I'll be there, Doctor. - Okay.
Okay.
(engine rumbling)
- (K.P.) Careful! Go straight! - (Mashood) Don't worry. Hold on tight.
(Mashood) You won't fall.
(K.P.) Hey, park it there.
- You won't fall. Hold on. - Stop!
Sorry, sir.
- Can't you-- - I can't ride a bike, sir.
Had you told me, I'd have taken a taxi!
That won't sit well with me.
Where's the kids' event? The old block?
Go straight and turn left.
That way, right?
Left, left.
Please don't tell my mom that I can't ride a bike, okay?
When am I ever gonna see your mom, huh?
(whimsical score)
Sir! Just a minute.
What's the matter?
Let me also join you.
I'm going for a meeting.
Oh, is it?
Don't you have to meet the doctors at Irinjalakuda Matha Hospital today?
Yeah, that's there.
Better go do it then.
But, sir, you'll be alone...
I can handle my stuff.
Show this enthusiasm in sales.
Of course! We're gonna rock the sales.
Okay, sir.
(mutters) Poor man. He's going alone.
(bike engine revving)
(announcement in background)
(man 1) No, no. Don't try to justify your incompetence.
(man 2) Sir...
You're mistaken, sir.
Just shut the fuck up, Davis!
Sir, please. Softer.
Everybody here knows me.
So what?
Is this how you talk to a doctor?
Do you have a basic sense of manners?
Your language skills are pathetic!
I've handled sales all this while speaking like this.
English won't work everywhere.
Excuse me?
Who are you to decide that?
- Let's not fight here. Let's go out. - Ugh! Don't touch me!
(tense score)
Learn to look clean and presentable first.
Look at you!
Is this how you dress?
Tell me the truth. Did you even shower today?
At least trim your beard!
You're stinking, man!
Wrinkled shirt, pot belly...
You look like a filthy buffoon!
Who will give you prescriptions if you show up like this?
Instead of listening like this,
if you've any shame, why don't you just resign and leave?
Piece of shit.
(emotional music)
(door opens)
Hello, K.P.
Hi, Doctor.
- How are you? - All good.
Please get me the delivery details for all these dates.
- Please sit. - Okay, ma'am.
I want the complete list.
Sure. I'll get it.
- So, what's up? All good? - Yes. Good.
- Can I get it today itself, nurse? - I'll try, ma'am.
Okay.
Yeah.
- K.P. - Yes.
Of late, the number of
juvenile diabetic patients has been rising here.
We noticed this when Sandeep Kuruvilla and Harish sir
from Paediatrics flagged it.
When we checked,
we found most of those children were
born here, in this hospital.
That means they were my patients.
(tense music)
Okay.
And their mothers...
KydoXin.
They were part of the KydoXin study.
KydoXin?
Yes.
Most of the mothers were on KydoXin.
(music builds)
No... But...
(papers rustling)
Never mind this. Come with me, K.P.
Come.
(tense music builds)
I have been after this since the last few days.
I studied this substantially before calling you here, K.P.
I'll show you all the files.
But before that, you should see this, K.P.
- What? - Let's go to the old block.
A Baby Show is happening there today.
An entertainment show and study class
for diabetic kids and their parents.
Oh. You mean some of those kids
are the children of the KydoXin study participants?
See for yourself.
I called you here to show you this.
This was in fact Sandeep Kuruvilla's plan.
With this, he can obtain the data on diabetic children.
And I can cross-check the registered names with my list.
In fact, I already cross-verified them.
(tense music)
How many of them are children of mothers who were on KydoXin?
All of them.
All these kids, right in front of us.
