Plot

Ranveer “Ronny” Pratap Singh, an Indian Army Captain, receives an unexpected call from his ex-girlfriend, Neha Rawat, after a long time. They were college sweethearts and had planned to marry, but her father, Mahendra Rawat, arranged her marriage to Shekhar Salgaonkar, a businessman. Still in love with Neha, Ronny travels to Goa under the guise of a short vacation.

Meeting Neha at a restaurant, Ronny learns that her five-year-old daughter, Rhea, has gone missing. However, Neha is distressed because no one, including Shekhar, believes that Rhea ever existed. Ronny also learns about Shekhar’s drug-addicted brother, Sunny, who frequently visits Neha’s home.

Determined to uncover the truth, Ronny begins his own investigation and meets DIG Ajay Shergill, a friend of his commanding officer, Colonel Ranjit Singh Walia. Ronny follows Sunny to a building and discovers that Usman Langda, a disabled travel agent, is involved in drug trafficking. When Ronny questions Usman about Rhea, he appears to know nothing. Disguising himself as a police officer named Anand Tyagi, Ronny meets Shekhar, who insists that he and Neha never had a child. Shekhar recounts an incident where Neha was attacked by two masked men near a school, allegedly attempting to steal her car. He claims that Neha went into a coma after the attack, and upon recovery, she began imagining that she had a daughter.

Ronny watches CCTV footage of the attack, but there is no sign of Rhea, leading him to question Neha’s mental state. However, when he confronts Neha, she firmly insists that Rhea is real. Ronny notices height markings of a child on a wall, but before he can process it, Neha tragically commits suicide in front of him. The case is taken up by Shergill and ACP Loha Singh Dhull (LSD). Meanwhile, Anand Tyagi is murdered by unknown assailants.

Usman later confesses to Ronny that he saw Sunny kidnapping Rhea. Ronny captures Sunny, but during interrogation, Shergill shoots him in self-defense. That night, Tyagi’s killers attack Usman, but Ronny defeats them. Unfortunately, Usman succumbs to his injuries. While inspecting the killers’ phone, Ronny discovers an MMS from Shergill, ordering them to eliminate him. Furious, Ronny storms Shergill’s army base, engaging in a brutal battle where he defeats Shergill’s soldiers and destroys their helicopters, despite sustaining serious injuries.

Ronny finally confronts Shergill, who confesses that Shekhar wanted to kill Rhea and had orchestrated the attack on Neha. Afterward, Shergill found Rhea in the custody of Bobby, a drug dealer. Since Shergill was involved in drug trafficking, he struck a deal with Shekhar to keep Rhea with him until a consignment was delivered. Meanwhile, Shekhar convinced everyone around Neha to pretend that Rhea never existed, ensuring Neha would suffer emotionally. Before Shergill can kill Ronny, LSD arrives with his team and fatally shoots Shergill after overhearing his confession.

Shekhar is arrested and admits that Rhea is not his biological daughter, as he was confirmed sterile in the past. Ronny then recalls his last meeting with Neha before her wedding, when they spent the night together. Realizing that Rhea is actually his daughter, Ronny finally reunites with her, seeing Neha’s smiling reflection in the distance.
