Gumraah (2023) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of Gumraah (2023), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Shivani Mathur leads a murder investigation when a man is found dead in his home, initially treated as a burglary. A neighbor’s selfie captures the suspect, and ACP Dhiren Yadav identifies the man as Arjun Sehgal, a successful real estate developer, and orders his arrest. Yet doubt arises when another man, Sooraj Rana, is taken into custody for disorderly conduct—he bears a striking resemblance to Arjun.

Three months earlier, Arjun was focused on closing real estate deals and was engaged to Janhvi, a perceptive film critic who often comments on the city’s social scene. Meanwhile, Sooraj, a small-time conman, finds himself in trouble after scamming a mob boss. The boss kidnaps his friend Chaddi and demands ₹2 million as a ransom. Desperate, Sooraj scrambles to raise the money but fails.

On the night of the murder, both Arjun and Sooraj are shown with similar injuries, adding to the confusion. A DNA test confirms they are identical twins who were separated as children when their parents separated. ACP Yadav, who harbors a personal vendetta against Arjun, tries to steer the case in a direction favorable to his theory. After extensive questioning, neither twin provides a solid alibi.

Six months later, Shivani receives a missing-person file for Janhvi. It is discovered that she attended a school reunion before disappearing, and later, a message from her to Arjun states that she is marrying Akash. Further digging shows that Akash drugged and assaulted Janhvi and bribed officials to cover it up. Arjun, learning the truth, killed Akash. Sooraj, realizing the full gravity of the scheme, altered the crime scene to shield his brother.

With mounting questions and scant conclusive evidence, the case remains unresolved. Arjun Sehgal leaves Mumbai, unable to stay in a city haunted by Janhvi’s death, and leaves Sooraj the keys to his house.
