Two foreign hackers are murdered in Delhi, their deaths strikingly similar: each body found with a needle dipped in cyanide, a clue that leaves investigators puzzled about why highly skilled professionals would travel to India rather than operate from home. The Delhi Police’s Cyber Cell finds itself ill equipped to handle a case that hinges on deep digital know-how and a global hacking mindset, forcing them to look for outside help to understand what the two victims planned here and what they hoped to accomplish.
The investigation kicks into gear when the team, led by ACP Siddhanth Chauhan and accompanied by Inspector Bhalla, tracks the trail to a street-smart but unconventional hacker named Mickey Arora. By day, he runs a modest grocery shop; by night, he dabbles in virus creation for anti-virus companies, collaborating with a tight-knit circle that includes the quick-witted Chutney (Shalu Sharma) and his friends Floppy and Pancho, along with a reclusive mentor known only as the Professor. Mickey, who goes by the alias Kung Fu Chameli, has earned a reputation for stealing small sums—Rs 10 from millions of accounts—an audacious pattern that critics say wouldn’t alarm anyone due to the negligible recoveries involved. Yet the mystery deepens when Siddhanth, convinced there is more at stake, commissions Mickey to target the website of a dangerous cyber-criminal group known as the Bhram Gang.
Amid the mounting tension, Mickey’s life unexpectedly intersects with Kamayani George, a talented employee at Excalibur Securities. The two form a quiet bond—Mickey drawn to Kamayani’s warmth and intelligence, and Kamayani intrigued by the layers behind his seemingly carefree exterior. The romance grows as Mickey begins to pull Sabotage-proof moves into action to assist Kamayani’s workplace: when a client’s large transfer is mishandled, he hacks the company’s site to reverse the transaction, an act that triggers a chain of consequential events. In a twist of fate, Mickey later discovers that he has inadvertently stolen Rs 100 crore from a Dubai-based don, Anwar Raja, a discovery that coincides with Kamayani’s murder, carried out in the same cyanide-needle fashion as the two foreign hackers.
With Kamayani gone and Mickey’s prints found at the crime scene, fear grips the young hacker as the police close in. The investigation tightens as Mickey, now suspected of the crimes, calls upon his old circle for help. He traces Kamayani’s SIM, follows a lead to a man named Bablu who appears connected to Kamayani through a bakery’s voicemail account, and begins to unravel a disturbing pattern in which Bablu’s number ties back to the mastermind behind the entire operation. The clues point toward a mastermind who seems to be orchestrating a much larger scheme than a simple heist.
As Mickey digs deeper, he discovers a shocking revelation: Kamayani had set up a covert account in his name and was coaxed into transferring the Rs 100 crore into that account—an arrangement that pulls the investigation toward a larger conspiracy. The truth becomes even more tangled when Mickey confronts Siddhanth in a tense exchange in a parking lot at Nehru Place. Siddhanth alleges that his friends—Floppy, Pancho, and the Professor—are part of the Bhram Gang and that their actions were driven by money and power, a plan designed to draw Mickey into the web and force him to hack into Anwar Raja’s accounts.
The turning point comes when the mastermind is revealed: Siddhanth himself. He had manipulated Kamayani to lure Mickey into performing a high-stakes hack, cleverly steering the plot so that the money would end up in a setup that could ruin Mickey and entrench Siddhanth’s own control over the operation. Kamayani’s genuine affection for Mickey complicates the ruse, as she ultimately moved the funds to Mickey’s name, exposing Siddhanth’s broader scheme and the manipulation of those around them.
In the climactic moment, Mickey records the confession of Siddhanth, Floppy, Pancho, and the Professor and uploads it to YouTube, publicly laying bare the truth behind the murders and the scheme that used Kamayani as a pawn. In the aftermath, Inspector Bhalla leads the arrest of the conspirators, and Mickey, in a moment of wary relief, discreetly takes one crore from the recovered funds before handing the rest over to the authorities. The credits roll with a call recording from Anwar Raja, a final reminder of the larger forces behind the crime and the continuing consequences of a plan that began with a pair of deadly needles in Delhi.
