On a rain-soaked night in Mumbai, four cops ride a patrol van as distant gunfire cracks through the streets. A car swerves, crashes into the road, and a man in a jacket steps out, moves toward a gated house, and is shot from behind. The van’s radio erupts with notices of gunshots nearby, and they hurry toward the danger. The film then pulls back in a sweeping flashback, guiding us toward that moment in the van and the events that led there.

The core of the story follows a tight-knit gang running a gambling club and a web of illicit deals: Vikram, Seshadri, Shardul, Prakash, and Shiva. When [Seshadri], aided by a Bengaluru police contact, hears about “French furniture”—drugs worth Rs. 5 crore that can be snagged for Rs. 2.5 crore—he calls everyone to contribute Rs. 50 lakhs each to set the deal in motion. With [Shardul] promising to flip the haul for more than Rs. 5 crore, the crew imagines a handsome windfall, at least Rs. 50 lakhs apiece in extra profit.

A careful plan forms: [Shiva] is tasked with taking the money to Bengaluru by train, meeting the buyer, and returning by the same route. Into this scheme steps Vikram, who is dating Mini, [Shardul]’s wife, and who secretly wants to carry off the cash for himself. He engineers a daring theft by trying to chloroform Shiva on the train. To keep up appearances, he travels under the Goa pretense, checks into a Pune hotel as “Johnny G,” and flies to Goa, where he ropes in advocate [Gomes], a friend of [Seshadri], to shore up an alibi if needed.

Vikram returns to Mumbai, sets up his ruse, and boards the train carrying Shiva toward Bengaluru via Pune. But the plan unravels when Shiva unmasks Vikram and is killed. With the truth about Vikram coming to light, [Seshadri], [Kalyan], [Prakash], and [Shardul] fall one by one to Vikram’s cold counterattacks, their confidence shattered as they realize the danger they’re in. In a startling twist, Prakash’s wife mistakes Vikram for [Shardul] and shoots him, believing she has eliminated the rival. The film ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the fate of the money and the killer’s identity unresolved.
