Renowned
heart specialist Dr. Viren Goenka, his wife Sanjana and their
seven-year-old daughter Anishka are a happy family in Mumbai.
Their joys have just multiplied with Viren being honoured with
a prestigious award for his contribution to the medical world.
Viren is all set to visit New Delhi to receive this award in a
grand function. He promises his daughter to take her for a fabulous
family vacation once he returns. But fate had something else planned
for Viren and his family.
Destiny
strikes hard against them and Anishka is kidnapped under Sanjana's
nose. She is startled with the presence of a creepy man named
Krish in her house. Krish tells her that Anishka will be fine
as long as Sanjana and Dr. Goenka follow his instructions. While
Krish keeps Sanjana in the house, his partner Roohi keeps Viren
confined in his hotel room and their third associate Kabir holds
Anishka at a remote location.The kidnappers keep strict half-hour
checks with each other by cell phones, and if all goes as planned,
the whole act would take only 24 hours.
The
kidnappers set the ransom to a whopping amount of Rs 3 Crore.
It doesn't take much for Viren and Sanjana to realize that abiding
by the kidnappers' rules is the best thing that they could do
to save their daughter's life. Viren mortgages everything possible,
including his dream hospital project and his house and somehow
manages to collect Rs 3 Crore in just 24 hours, an act next to
impossible being trapped at one place.
But
it seems that testing time had just begun for the already suffering
family. Something highly unfortunate strikes and the kidnappers
flee without any sign of their daughter and take away the ransom
money as well. Both Sanjana and Viren are uncertain about what
could have happened and fear for the life of their only beloved
daughter Anishka. Viren wants his daughter back at any cost and
thus he tries to exploit all his resources. Entire police force
is on move to search for any clues of the kidnappers or Anishka
but they can't discover anything significant. As the clock ticks
away, a series of incidents take place and the turmoil almost
changes each life. What happens next is the harsh reality that
crosses a thin line between life... and death.
