Plot

Preeti Sengupta (Tanushree Dutta) is an air hostess living with her boyfriend Karan Malhotra (Rohit Roy). They share a nice 2BHK apartment in the northern suburbs of Mumbai and are befriended by their elderly neighbor, Madhusudan Tanha (Anupam Kher), a struggling poet and lyricist. Tanha is a loner living with his only companion, a Persian cat whom he lovingly calls Shehzadi.

Preeti is possessive and has trust issues. When she mistakenly suspects her boyfriend to be unfaithful, she throws him out of the house, but soon realizes she can't afford the apartment rent on her own. On the advice of a fellow airhostess, she advertises for a tenant to share her apartment. Enter Neha Bhardwaj (Neetu Chandra), a modest small-town girl asking for accommodation. Impressed by her simplicity and respectful behavior, Preeti believes she has found the perfect roommate. The two girls soon become close; their camaraderie leads them to become companions.

Then things begin to go wrong. Preeti's seemingly normal life is thrown off gear, with a series of incidents that take her by surprise. Is it just a coincidence, or is someone deliberately causing all the trouble? Is Neha really as simple as she seems? In the grip of mystery, unforeseen and gruesome events, and murder at its heinous best, the truth seems shocking as it unfolds. As Neha and Preeti are torn apart by suspicion, deceit, and betrayal, the question is - what is really going on?
