Spoilers ahead
Sooraj Kaushik, a Mumbai gangster with a complicated loyalty to his family, crosses paths with Radha Mathur, the daughter of the city’s Chief of Police, during a party. The encounter sets off a dangerous chain of choices: under his father Suryakant ‘Pasha’ Ranade’s orders, Sooraj pretends to wear a badge he doesn’t deserve and abducts Radha after Shrikant Mathur—Radha’s father—presents evidence against Pasha in court. Radha, swayed by the ruse, leaves the city and travels north to a secluded location in Jammu with Sooraj and his friends. What begins as a forced act slowly blossoms into something deeper as the two outsiders start to genuinely care for each other.
