Sinha plays Anjali Bhaati, a sub-inspector who works with her colleagues to try to solve a horrific murder case while an unknowing criminal is still at large. It all begins when sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati is assigned to investigate a string of mysterious deaths of women in public restrooms. As the cases develop, Anjali starts to have suspicions that a serial killer may be on the loose. At first, the deaths seem to be obvious suicides.
According to the official synopsis, "What follows is a riveting cat-and-mouse chase between an experienced criminal and an underdog cop as she puts together evidence before another innocent woman loses her life." Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar's Excel Media & Entertainment and Tiger Baby are the film's producers.
