Plot
Zara Kampani (Neha Oberoi) meets Sameer (Sikandar Kher) in a pub and lands in his flat asking him to kidnap her so that she can test her husband, Jatin’s (Arbaaz Khan) love. Sameer can’t refuse because he is in desperate need of money. He hasn’t paid his rent for months and has to return a huge sum of money to a relative, (Gulshan Grover).
Zara takes Sameer to Woodstock Villa, the location of the kidnapping. Sameer orders Jatin to hand over 5 million to him. After returning, Sameer discovers Zara is dead. An anonymous caller then threatens that he has only 30 minutes to bury the body and clear up all the evidence. He disposes of her body in a forest and returns.
To be on the safe side, he goes to Bangalore. Sameer sees Zara’s video on television and heads back to find the truth. He finds Zara and convinces her to tell him the truth. Zara reveals that she and Jatin truly loved each other. Once in a fight, Jatin’s real wife, Zara, accidentally died and as her and Zara’s faces were quite similar, she played the role of Zara. The kidnapping plan was hatched by Jatin and his girlfriend to get out of this murder and trap somebody else. Sameer calls Jatin to Woodstock Villa with the money and he pays his rent and loan.
He goes to the airport while Jatin gets caught by the police. Jatin tells the police that he was not the only one to commit the crime. Sameer gives a bag to Zara but there is no money inside that bag; he had taken the real bag of money. The ball was in Zara’s court. If she boarded the plane, Sameer would have trusted her. She decided to cheat Sameer and got cheated herself. Sameer’s flight takes off while Jatin’s partner gets arrested.
