The story revolves around Simran Sehgal, played by Mallika Sherawat, a young woman married to Sudhir, portrayed by Ashmit Patel. Sudhir, a workaholic, was previously married to Simran’s deceased sister, Sonia. Simran married Sudhir primarily to provide maternal care for their son, but her life is marked by loneliness and lack of passion.
Her life takes a dramatic turn when she reconnects with her former lover, Sunny, portrayed by Emraan Hashmi. Consumed by their affair, Simran begins to neglect her marital and maternal responsibilities, constantly lying to her husband. However, she soon discovers that Sunny is also involved with another woman named Radhika, prompting her to end the relationship.
Meanwhile, Sudhir grows suspicious of his wife and hires a detective to investigate. The detective uncovers evidence of Simran’s affair, including photographs of her with Sunny. Confronted with the truth, Sudhir confronts Sunny, leading to a heated argument that escalates into violence. In a fit of rage, Sudhir kills Sunny and buries his body in a state of panic.
Simran discovers the photographs among Sudhir’s belongings and deduces his involvement in Sunny’s disappearance. When the police investigate Sunny’s disappearance, Simran, overwhelmed by guilt, decides to take the blame for the murder. This act of sacrifice strengthens their bond, as Sudhir also claims responsibility for the crime, leaving the police confused. However, the situation becomes more complicated when Sunny’s body is discovered missing from the burial site.
The film delves into the complexities of relationships, the consequences of infidelity, and the lengths to which individuals will go to protect those they love.
