[14][15] The film opens with a murder investigation led by Shivani Mathur after a man is found dead in his home.

Initially treated as a burglary, the case takes a turn when a neighbour's selfie captures the suspect.

ACP Dhiren Yadav identifies the man as Arjun Sehgal, a real estate developer, and orders his arrest.

Three months earlier, Arjun was focused on his real estate business and engaged to Janhvi, a film critic.

A DNA test reveals they are identical twins who were separated as children due to their parents' divorce.

It is discovered that she attended a school reunion before disappearing, and later, a message from her to Arjun states she is marrying Akash.

[16][17] The filming was supposed to begin in mid-2020 with a release date of 20 November 2020, but it was postponed following the coronavirus outbreak in late March 2020.

[23] First single titled "Soniye Ji" sung, composed, and written by Vishal Mishra was released on 14 March 2023.
