Premise

[edit]

Iqlakh (Dev) plays the role of a poor janitor who has lost his job. Disillusioned by the mistreatment of the poor by the rich people, the film depicts his revenge against the rich strata.[10] To get his job back, he turned into a kidnapper. He kidnapped a schoolgirl from St. Benjamin School.[11] Pointing a gun at her head, he took control of an office building and held her hostage there. A team of cops from the crime branch led by ACP Maya (Rukmini Maitra) has been assigned the duty to save the child from his hand. While Iqlakh negotiates his demands with Maya, it turns out that he not wants any ransom but just wants to get his job back.[2]

Brishti (Sreeja Dutta) and Tintin (Aryan Bhowmik) play the role of young journalists who secretly film the events hiding in that building. Ira (Swastika Mukherjee) plays the role of the kidnapped girl's mother.[12] She is ready to pay any amount to save her daughter. But, things take a turn when she kidnaps Iqlakh's son to get her daughter back. With Brishti and Tintin's help, she warned Iqlakh through a video message that whatever happens with her daughter, his son will face the same consequences.[13] The film unfolds in a 48 hours suspense thriller where they try to save the child from his custody, along with the help of paramilitary task force commandos.[14]
