Pre-accident call claiming a solved murder

Antony is on a call with Farhan, claiming that he has solved Aaryan John Jacob's murder. He is ready to reveal the killer's identity, but an accident cuts the call short. The ensuing memory loss leaves crucial details murky and sets up the central mystery the film will later revisit.

The accident and partial memory loss

During the awards period, Antony is involved in an accident that causes partial memory loss. He struggles to recall key evidence, witnesses, and the sequence of events that led to Aaryan's death. The gap in memory becomes the main obstacle to solving the case again.

Farhan recounts the past and the Mumbai Police trio

Farhan visits Antony and explains their shared past and the tragedy that struck their friend Aaryan. He reminds him that the three of them were known as the 'Mumbai Police' and were once a formidable team. He recounts Aaryan's murder at the gallantry awards ceremony to set the context for Antony's revived involvement.

Antony reassigned to the case despite memory loss

Despite the memory gap, Farhan reassigns Antony to the murder investigation because of his exceptional abilities. The decision signals trust in his skills and ensures the case stays active. Antony enters the renewed effort with mixed clarity and resolve.

Antony retraces the investigation and finds discrepancies

Antony reexamines evidence, revisits witness statements, and reconstructs the crime scene, looking for where the old path differs from the new clues. He notices discrepancies between his new findings and the direction his old self had taken. The inconsistencies push him to rethink motive and sequence.

Discovery of a past relationship with a male flight attendant

While digging through his past, Antony discovers he had a relationship with a male flight attendant. The revelation exposes a concealed part of his life and raises questions about potential motives tied to secrecy. It adds personal stakes to the case he is trying to solve.

Aaryan walks in on them the night before the ceremony

Aaryan walks in on Antony and his partner during an intimate moment, prompting a heated argument. The confrontation reveals that Aaryan's anger stems from the secrecy rather than Antony's sexuality. He storms out, planting seeds of suspicion that reverberate to the ceremony.

Partner panics and Antony's paranoia grows

Following the argument, Antony's partner panics due to the social taboo surrounding homosexuality at the time. Antony becomes increasingly paranoid that Aaryan will expose his secret during the ceremony. This fear compounds the tension around the investigation.

Antony deduces the killer: his old self committed the murder

Through careful deduction, Antony realizes that his old self had premeditated the murder by placing a remote-controlled rifle on a rooftop overlooking the stage. The crime was carried out by triggering it with a phone tap during the gallantry awards ceremony. This revelation reframes the case as a crime committed by Antony's past self.

Old Antony's confession on the call before the accident

Farhan already knew the culprit because the older Antony confessed on the phone just before the accident. The confession explains why memory loss occurred and why the case needs to be solved again. It also foreshadows the reunion of the investigation with Antony's continuing brilliance.

Farhan's plan: re-solving with Antony's brilliance

Farhan explains that he needed Antony's investigative brilliance to crack the case anew and that orchestrating the reset would give them the opportunity to uncover the truth again. He acknowledges the ethical complexity but insists it's necessary for justice. The plan bridges the past and present investigation.
