Vinay Sehgal

He is a wicked man, who goes to any extent in order to earn profit by adopting unlawful means .

He encourages corruption openly.

As per the character, reflected in the movie, he is a self-centred , unethical and profit-driven person.

Even after knowing that the “JUST CHILL” drink, that was going to be launched by their company, showed heavy traces of pesticides in the quality control report, he was ready to launch it, though his team members denied.

In the end, in order to save the goodwill of the company and prevent it from incurring further losses, Vinay Sehgal and Marwah group, entered into a mutual alliance.

Nishigandha Dasgupta

Personal life- She was going through a rough patch, as she recently had a

Divorce after a sour marriage . Ritesh entering her life, was a positive change, as he

became her strength and helped her in overcoming the dark phase of her life.

Since then, she stood by him in the ups and downs of his life. Both of them inspired each other in performing well in their careers.

She helped Ritesh in gaining back his lost reputation in the Sehgal group by coming up with the Just Chill idea.

Professional life She was a very strong, ambitious and a career-oriented

woman. Extremely loyal towards her company and can go to any

extent to prove her worth.She gathered confidential information of the Marwah’s new

product and strategies through shelly. It was Nishi’s clever tactics, that helped her in gathering

information about Marwah’s mint- based drink launch, by fooling Parvez through a hooker.

Often mixes her personal life with professional one, for which she has to bear severe consequences.

The guilt of being a part of the JUST CHILL drink project got a bit reduced when she decided to surrender herself to the crime branch by taking the entire blame of the scam on herself.

Eventually she proved to be a fighter.

Naveen Shroff

A man, in the entire plot who stood by his principles and values .

His good decision-making quality, and constant support to Vinay Sehgal, helped Sehgal group of industries to reach great heights.

His decision to resign the company before the drink launch showed that his inner conscious would not let him to be a part of such an unethical project just for the sake of earning huge profit.

Ritesh Sahani

A character of low profile and coward by his actions.

He is not able to make sensible business decisions and always takes the help of Nishi in moving ahead.

Mukesh Tyagi

The very old friend of Vinay sehgal, who ditched at the time, when the company was at its downfall by accepting the bribe from Dharmesh Marwah for starting his own business in Malaysia and in return disclosing the reason for Naveen’s resignation.

Dharmesh Marwah

A traditional, religious and a calm and composed business person, who usually takes the advice of his guru, regarding business decisions.

Knew how to handle situations by taking right decision at the right time and majorly turns the game in his favour in the nick of time.

His clever tactics of spreading the just chill drink scam via electronic and print media and telling the NGO’S to protest against the Sehgal’s, adversely affected the reputation of the company.

He was also involved in unethical practices but comparatively lesser than the Sehgal group.

ShellyThough being an employee of the Marwah group, she was

working for Sehgals, by leaking the confidential information of the company to Nishigandha Dasgupta.

Parvez Merchant

A character who is though strong in work ethics but gets weak before women due to his lustful nature, which became the major cause of bringing his career to an end, as he gets fired from the Marwah group.

His constant offering of the job to Nishi and trying to lure her cost him a huge amount as the information regarding the mint-based drink got leaked, due to which he lost his job.

Theories reflected from the plot

Psychological egoism theory- It adds to egoism theory. To act in the interest of others if that is the only way to promote our self- interest..

Industrial espionage- Its a covert & illegal practice of investigating competitors to gain a business advantage, such as by theft, bribery, blackmail & technological surveillance.
