Late at night, amidst the darkness of a desolate road, the famous actor Armaan Kapoor (Vivan Bhatena](/actor/vivan-bhatena)) finds himself in a dire situation. In a moment of panic, he seemingly loses control of his vehicle, crashing into the sea. This sets off a chain of events that brings Senior Police Inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat (Aamir Khan) and his diligent assistant Devrath Kulkarni (Rajkummar Rao) into the thick of the investigation. When Armaan’s body is recovered, it is confirmed by his perplexed wife Sonia (Pariva Pranati), who is baffled that her husband, a major film star, was driving alone in the early hours.
