I don’t like Rishi much, but I gotta give him some acting credit here. He isn’t bad.

    Yupp. I actually looked it up because I was wondering who was singing this song that nailed Sridevi’s accent precisely. Her accent/voice is very distinct and not easy to imitate.

I don’t know what I think about the dinner exchange. On the one hand, if she is expected to entertain clients because she is a young beautiful woman, then eww. But asking an employee to take clients out to dinner also seems normal to me.

  I read it as taking the clients out to dinner, but she felt that was inappropriate because she is a young single woman. Even if Vinod and the clients wouldn’t be thinking thoughts, it would still bother her. And Vinod realized he had to respect what would make her uncomfortable.
