3 MONTHS LATER.
Why didn't you stop for her?
What are you a social worker? You want a ride or not?
Yes.
Hey doll, you forgot all about me.
I'm trying to, you just won't let me will you.
Listen, I'll call you at lunch.
You sound like you're in a rush.
They're going to announce who gets the Marketing Manager post at work today.
Ohhh! Promotion!
Yes. I'm writing a self-appraisal right now.
Don't waste time with that, just undo the top two buttons of your shirt.
Oh my God!
Yes! Stay close to the boss today, laugh so hard at her jokes...
...that it looks like you are having a heart attack.
And the suddenly, while laughing, you grab her arm and say 'Ooh!'
'You've been working out!'
Wow...
Yuck! Bye.
Bye.
So...this is done!
And now the third quarter.
Who is Geethika Rao?
HR Director.
I've been covering everything she does for the last 5 months.
She dumped all her work on me last week and went on that trip, remember?
On that business development trip?
Yeah, with that new intern boy, in that hotel room in Lonavla...
I bet they 'Developed' a lot of 'Business' in those 3 days.
If she doesn't pay me pack for all the favours I've done her-
Chances are low.
I've been taking the HR head to the local bar after work every day...
...for two months now.
I buy the whiskey...
...and she downs it like they're going to ban it tomorrow!
Great! Your parents must be so proud.
It's not as if we love to do this, Kiran.
But we have to do it.
Yeah, sometimes you have to kiss a few asses to get ahead.
We're not boys, we can't 'compromise' with the boss to get the job.
Wait a minute...
What's the name of this company?
Kantaben and Daughters Pvt Ltd.
What do the Chairwoman of the company, CEO, CFO...
...the Administrative Head have in common?
They're all women.
The only men here are...
So...who do you think has a higher chance of getting promoted?
It's us men who should be afraid.
Ah, let it be!
You boys always bring up the Gender Equality thing!
But what do we get out of it?
Men are only hired here as sweepers, or secretaries.
No one can see our talent, our hard work.
How can they see it?
They're all busy trying to go on 'business development' trips with us.
Oh please! As if you boys don't take advantage of the way things are!
They organized a Men's Picnic for the sake of Gender Equality.
The budget was 4 lakhs!
If it is for 'Equality' then why is it only for men?
Why not women?
I know, right! I worked overtime for two months on that Kochi project.
I selected the whole core group!
But who was made project head?
Soheil.
He did 'overtime' with the boss for a week...
...and then showed up only on the day the selection had to be made.
That too wearing a see-through shirt!
And he wasn't even wearing an undershirt!
If his shirt was any more transparent you could have seen his Nipples!
Gayatri, you can't talk that way about a boy!
Soheil may be...the way he is, but he's very serious about his job.
Really? So tell me, where is he?
Must be at the parlour, getting his hair styled.
Or, maybe he got late making breakfast and packing lunch for his family-
That's why we have to do all those things.
This is what we're competing with.
Yup, I'm all ready for the big day-
What, man!
What the hell are you doing?
What am I doing?
Your clothes, Soheil!
Do you come here to work or to do a striptease?
How can you say that?
How can you look like this?
The only thing missing is a waterfall.
I am a progressive, liberal, 21st century man.
Nobody tells me what I can or can not wear.
I'll wear whatever I feel comfortable in.
What comfort, Soheil?
Your ass is struggle for freedom in those pants.
Little Soheil must have suffocated to death by now.
Don't tell me about comfort. The whole office thinks that-
That I use my sexuality to get ahead in my career.
Are they wrong?
Gayatri did all the work on that Kochi project-
And it was all wrong. All the projections were wrong.
There were mistakes in the calculations of the basic overheads.
Even the group selection was faulty.
She let Shania do the accounts overview.
Shania, who can't handle a simple expense voucher herself.
The whole project was about to be scrapped, Kiran!
For a whole week I stayed back in office till 3 in the morning...
...to do all that I could to save the project.
But Gayatri thinks that-
That because I'm a man, I can't work hard?
That because I'm good looking, I can't be intelligent?
No matter how well I do my job...
I will never be anything more than a cute face and a butt for Gayatri.
So I don't give a damn what she thinks of me!
But I thought you were more sensible than this.
What the hell is wrong with you?
AS A MODERN WOMAN, I TREAT ALL MY MALE COLLEAGUES WITH THE SAME RESPECT AND DIGNITY AS THE FEMALES.
INSPITE OF BEING A MAN, I HAVE NO PROBLEM STAYING BACK LATE FOR WORK.
IN SEVEN YEARS THERE HASN'T BEEN A SINGLE CASE OF SEXUAL HARRASMENT AGAINST ME.
Men and gentleladies!
As you all know...
...the post of Marketing Manager has been vacant for 3 months.
We didn't want to rush into appointing someone for the post...
...because we wanted the right person for this role...
...and for the right reasons.
Today, after a lot of brainstorming, I think we have found the right person.
Congratulations, Kiran!
You are the new Marketing Manager for Kantaben and Daughters Pvt. Ltd.
Please come this way, the boss will brief you personally.
Ma'am?
You must be so happy to be the first male...
...marketing manager for this company.
Ma'am, I'm just happy to be the marketing manager for this company.
Oh, come on!
First MAN on the job, 30% salary hike...
30%?
But, when Sarika Prasad was marketing manager she got a 45% raise...
Kiran...you're a boy.
I mean, working late nights, outstation travel...
...leading and controlling a team as big as this ...
You won't be able to handle it!
Oh, I'm on your side here!
But Sarika Prasad was a girl.
I'm not going to put the kind of heavy responsibilities she had...
...on your delicate shoulders.
Ma'am, believe me, there is nothing wrong with my shoulders.
Look at this
I have a marketing overhaul plan prepared already.
We can reduce 20% from the fabrication budget-
...and re-allocate it to the on-ground...branding...
We, uh...ground...branding...
There is no need for all this, Kiran, you will be guided at each step.
Ma'am...why have I been given this post?
You have a very nice mouse.
What?
Gender equality!
We wanted to show that in this company...
...we treat the men just as nicely as the women.
Leave my mouse.
Congratulations.
'Congratulations' my a..!
Five minutes alone with the boss, and you lost the promotion already?
What?
We'll have to get Sarika Prasad back now.
Sarika?
What happened to Gender equality?
I swear! We'll never understand you men!
What? They gave the job to a woman!
After they gave it to a man who didn't even want it!
Oh my God!
What is your problem with men, Gayatri?
Are you seriously so insensitive that you cannot see the problems we face?
You don't know what happened in the Boss' cabin.
You don't know why Soheil got that project.
You don't know anything and yet you're always ripping men apart.
What world do you live in?
I know what world I live in.
'Men's problems', ha!
This is supposed to be a 'woman's world' and still it isn't.
Everyone has heard of 'father's love' but who has heard of 'mother's love'?
When someone is emotional, they think of their father.
'I swear on my father' they say...
...but no one ever says 'I swear on my mother'.
'Father India' was a superhit, but tell me...
Have you seen 'Mother India'?
No.
Because no one ever made a film called Mother India.
This is the world I live in.
I'm sorry I went off on you like that.
It's not your fault that the world is the way it is. .
