Spoilers ahead
Vijay Singh Rajput is a volatile, obsessively driven bank manager who falls from grace after brutally beating a clerk accused of embezzlement. The humiliation and anger from losing his job push him toward a dangerous plan: to strike back at the very bank that fired him by pulling off a daring heist. To execute it, he targets three blind men, assembling Vishwas Prajapati, Ilias, and Arjun Verma into his scheme, convinced that their supposed invisibility as blind thieves will shield the crime from suspicion.
