[1] The film revolves around Mira Kapoor (Parineeti Chopra), an alcoholic and troubled divorcee who gets embroiled in a big murder investigation.

Obsessed with a seemingly perfect couple she sees from the train window on her commute to London, one drunken night Mira follows the young woman into the forest but doesn’t recall what happens next.

The police has a decent amount of circumstantial evidence against her and even move to make an arrest but Mira escapes out the window and calls for a favour from the family member of a former client, and asking him to get her a phone, some cash, and a gun.

There are other suspects too, though, including Nusrat’s dance teacher, a blackmailing private investigator, and more than one aggressive and abusive husband.

These are the police woman in charge of the case, Inspector Dalbir, and a private detective named Walter, who was hired by Anand to follow Nusrat.

[18] Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost rated it 2 out of 5 praising Parineeti Chopra's sincere performance and saying rest of the cast a mixed bag.
