A hitman named Shiva is hired to kill a man named Vikram. Instead, he ends up protecting his target, Mukul, and Mukul's girlfriend from the dangerous client who hired him. They must all run for their lives, and it's unclear if Shiva is truly helping them or secretly working against them.
“A hitman hired to kill becomes his target's protector.”
