Spoilers ahead
K, John Abraham, a wealthy but supremely confident businessman in his 30s, lives in a world where smoking dominates every moment. He lights up at work, at home, and even in the bath, and his wife, Anjali, Ayesha Takia — her name echoed in the marriage by the strain his habit creates — grows increasingly exhausted and distant as his addiction wrecks their closings, their intimacy, and their trust. His circle of friends and mentors pousser him toward change: Abbas Tyrewala, [Ranvir Shorey], a longtime friend, and a doctor, [Kiku Sharda], urge him to consider a drastic break from cigarettes by entering Prayogshaala, a rehabilitation center that markets itself as the definitive cure for addiction.
