Spoilers ahead
Avinash Malhotra, [Bobby Deol], and his wife Sanjana Malhotra, [Lara Dutta], seem to share a glossy, modern life, but beneath the surface Avinash grows uneasy as he starts to suspect that Sanjana has been lying to him—even about trivial things. The doubt slowly erodes trust, and his mood shifts from concern to controlling anger, a change that unsettles their circle of friends who try in vain to calm the situation. At a party, the tension erupts in a painful public confrontation where Avinash’s temper embarrasses Sanjana and casts a pall over their social life.
