Synopsis

Aman (Ranvir Shorey) is a real estate broker who desperately wants to escape his middle-class life and often skims money from the multinational company he works at. When he gets hold of a big deal, he hides it from his boss and instead shares it with a local dealer named Raghuveer to get a bigger share of the money. He starts planning a lavish future for his wife, Divya (Neha Dhupia) and himself based on the expected financial returns. In a series of unexpected events, the deal snowballs out of his control, putting their lives in danger. To get out of this mess, he involves his begrudging wife in a desperate white-collar crime that snowballs out of control and leads to unimaginable consequences.[5]

Critical reception

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and said, "Shorey is good as usual, nailing the desperation of the kind of person who feels entitled to grab what he can because that’s what he sees everyone doing. Dhupia has a strong track too. But some performances are inept. And the climax, as well as the lead-up to it, is a stretch."[6]

Reza Noorani of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and said, "Although it's a well made crime thriller, there are a few loose ends which could have been tied up well. The effect is that the end leaves you wanting more."[7]
