Savi (2024) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Nakul was convicted based on strong physical evidence: his fingerprint was found on the murder weapon (a fire extinguisher), and Stephanie's blood was discovered on his clothes. The prosecution also cited motive, pointing to the toxic, racist work dynamic between Nakul and his boss Stephanie Fowler. Nakul maintains he only bumped into an unknown man at the scene and that the evidence against him was circumstantial.

Savi approaches Joydeep Paul, a notorious criminal who has escaped from jail seven times. He outlines a plan involving fake passports, gathering a stash of cash, and fleeing to a country with no UK extradition treaty. Savi commits to the high-stakes jailbreak and begins preparations, including funding the operation through desperate measures.

With Nakul's appeal denied and the family facing financial collapse, Savi takes drastic action to raise money for the escape plan. She robs two drug dealers, resulting in a gunfight where the dealers are killed. This makes Savi a police suspect and escalates the danger surrounding the jailbreak operation.

Savi sneaks into a prison medical team's vehicle and swaps Nakul's blood test results with a fake report indicating he requires hospitalization. The jail transfers him to the hospital, where Savi arrives and forcibly removes him at gunpoint. This bold move triggers an immediate manhunt.

Police discover documents outlining the jailbreak plan at Savi's home, including fake passports and the destination of Marrakesh. Officers rush to Manchester Airport to intercept the flight, only to find there is no Marrakesh-bound flight and the couple never checked in. In reality, Savi and Nakul had slipped away earlier by ferry, successfully misdirecting the police.

Officer Ayesha Hassan discovers a button caught in a sewer grate while re-examining the original murder scene. This tiny detail corroborates Nakul's account that a mysterious man was present and dropped a button during the encounter. The clue suggests Nakul may indeed be innocent and reframes the entire investigation.

Nakul is assaulted by a drug-smuggling gang in prison and placed in solitary confinement for a month. The attackers threaten to kill him once released and demand he withdraw his complaint. With the attackers due for release in just three days, Savi realizes she must execute the jailbreak immediately or risk losing Nakul forever.

After evading police and escaping by ferry, Savi and Nakul settle abroad. The film reveals they have built a new life in Bulgaria. Nakul's father in Chandigarh receives an invitation from them, confirming their location in Bulgaria and suggesting they have started fresh away from the UK legal system.

Joydeep Paul is arrested by police for abetting Savi and Nakul's escape. His arrest occurs just as he is about to begin telling what would have been a sensational story about Savitri, cutting short another potential chapter in the jailbreak saga.

The ending remains deliberately ambiguous because while Savi and Nakul successfully escape to Bulgaria, they live in perpetual exile. Joydeep Paul has been arrested, the murder case remains officially unresolved despite the button clue suggesting Nakul's innocence, and the couple must live with the uncertainty of their situation rather than achieving clear vindication.
