Plot
Nandini leaves the bright lights of Mumbai to settle in the hill town of Koti (which is actually Ooty) to look after her younger sister Tina after the demise of their father. Tina is a spoilt brat who despises elder sister -- she thinks she is interfering and should mind her own business. Tina finds out she's being watched and photographed by a young handsome stranger who seems rather taken with her. When she finally meets him face-to-face, she is smitten by his dark, dangerous looks. While Tina and Ranbir find passion, Nandini brews tension. She does not trust the stranger (we don't know anything about his past, she says). But she tries to know him better to make Tina happy. Then, the twist -- a murder in a hotel convinces Nandini that all is not hunky-dory with the hunk. She begins to uncover clues to Ranbir's dark past.
As Nandini gets closer to Ranbir's real identity, Tina refuses to believe her sister. Ranbir threatens Nandini until she has to apologise for reporting him to the police by saying sorry. S-O-R-R-Y. Nandini is helpless. Especially when her life is threatened. Finally, she signs everything over to little sister and seems to head out of town. What she actually does is search for more clues to Ranbir.

In popular culture
- A sequence from the song "Humsafar Chahiye", where Nauheed Cyrusi dials the landline of the house and Vidya Malvade replies by saying "Hello," and she repeatedly says "Hello", has been incorporated into a very popular ringtone. This was also used as the ringtone of Tusshar Kapoor's character's cell phone in the 2012 film Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum.

Besides, it is an action thriller. It has lots of twists and turns. This will especially appeal to the youth. They will also be able to relate to it because it stars young people like me and my other co-stars.
