The premise of Junoon without spoilers. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.
Nita, a surgeon from a middle‑class Bombay family, is in love with struggling musician Ravi, much to her mother’s disapproval, who prefers a wealthy match. After a gravely wounded man recovers under her care, he returns as the affluent Vikram Chauhan and asks for her hand. Pressured by her parents, Nita agrees, though she plans to elope with Ravi. When Ravi misses their rendez‑vous, Nita marries Vikram in a lavish ceremony. Ravi later reappears, only to discover that Vikram has been sabotaging him—he is a mysterious figure who is human only by day.

Spoilers ahead
Vikram (played by Rahul Roy) sets off into the forest on a hunting trip with his friend Arun, under a full moon that seems to glow with a strange, unsettled light. A tribal warning from a tribesman named Bheema rings in his ears—the night of the full moon is the cursed tiger’s hunting time—but Vikram laughs it off, sure that the old myth is just superstition. Arun senses something is off and urges him to turn back, yet Vikram’s stubborn curiosity pulls him forward in pursuit of a phantom predator that may not exist. As the sky darkens and rain begins to fall, the two men scramble for shelter, hoping to wait out the storm.
