Nine to Five

This is the movie that I was watching few days back on TV [released in 1980]...

The story line is like this:
  1. 3 women who are bread-winners for their respective families are being annoyed by amorous acts of their male superior...
  2. few scenes later... These women imagine chasing this guy with sniffer dogs, shooting him down, etc etc etc
  3. after few more scenes... This male superior is served coffee that is actually mixed with rat poison instead of sugar accidentally & though this ass does not drink it, after coming to know about such a thing happening to him, he blackmails these ladies to submit to his promiscuous requests. What do the ladies do??
  4. They abduct him and start handling the office matters on their own, make improvements & hence throughput
  5. After which the company's owner applauds the women and transfers this amorous asshole to Brazil...
Sounds familiar??? This is what most Tamil junta would have watched by the name MAGALIR MATTUM [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264820/]. For that matter, hyperlink mentioned does state the fact that this movie is a remake of the former. Now, comes the question, how come "Padmashree" Kamalhassan gets to pen stories that were actually flicked from some other movie.. Mrs. Doubtfire is another instance. No idea, if his other stories are his own or inspired [plagiarised rather...]...

Shame on you!!!
