Plot

A masked intruder barges into an apartment complex, where he attacks and kills a singer named Aarvi Malhotra. The cops, headed by ex-CBI officer and DCP Aditya Rathore, deduce that the attack was orchestrated by Gautam Mehra, who is the son of businessman Divesh Mehra, but his teammate, ACP V.K. Ganesan, a criminal psychology expert who has previously studied Aditya's last big case involving psychopath Rakesh Mahadkar, refuses to believe the matter is this simple, as the story goes into a flashback with an introduction to Gautam.
