FAQs

The film is shown in a nonlinear narrative, showing the life of Sathya in two different stages: 2010 and 2020. In 2010, Sathya is a rich and spoiled college-going student, who is always into chatting and dating women online. He is shown to be chatting with a woman named Poorni and is planning to meet her soon. In 2020, Sathya is a successful entrepreneur, owning a chain of fashion outlets. He is happily married to Anu and has a daughter. He is keen on expanding his business and plans to open an outlet in Dubai.

In 2010, Sathya convinces Poorni to meet up, and they agree to meet in Poorni's house, when her father is away on a business trip. On Poorni's request, Sathya buys her a few bottles of beer. Soon, things start developing between them, and they end up having sex.

In 2020, one day, Anu and their daughter are off to Anu's parents' home, leaving Sathya alone at home. He is visited by Leela, an attractive woman who had mistakenly knocked his door for someone else. Since it is raining outside, Sathya offers her to come in, and they share a drink. Attracted by her beauty, Sathya woos her, and they end up having sex. The next morning, while still in bed, Anu suddenly comes back home and is outside the door, knocking. Similarly, in 2010, the next morning, while still in bed, Poorni's father suddenly comes back home and is outside the door, knocking. Sathya is caught in a helpless situation and is desperately looking for an escape.

Somehow, Sathya manages Anu, while Leela hides underneath the bed and Anu goes back to her parents' house, as she came to take some things. While going back, she makes Sathya feel that she always loves him, and Sathya starts to feel guilty for his actions. He immediately asks Leela to leave. Leela is upset that Sathya used her for a one-night stand and pleads him to let her stay.

In 2010, Sathya somehow manages to escape from being seen by Poorni's father, and hides in the store room. There, shockingly, he finds a few photographs that reveal Poorni was lying the whole time about her father, and that the man knocking the door is indeed her husband Mohan, not her father, as Poorni told him. While trying to escape, Sathya is caught. Mohan knocks him out by smashing a bottle on his head.

In 2020, Sathya finds out that Leela has no plans to leave and she had indeed planned everything that happened last night and recorded it all using a small camera, with the idea of blackmailing Sathya into laundering money from him. Leela is shown to be working along with Madan, her associate, who enters the home and knocks him out.

In 2010, Sathya is captured by Mohan, and he tells them that he would rather kill them both as Poorni has had a history of cheating and Sathya was not her first boyfriend. In the ensuing mishap, Sathya mistakenly strangulates and kills Mohan, much to the shock of Poorni. Sathya convinces Poorni that in order to escape, she must write a letter depicting Mohan as a villain and she had run away from him to escape his torture, so that people would believe that Mohan had committed suicide out of shame. They stage everything perfectly and leave the home. Sathya drives her away to his old farmhouse, where he promises to keep her safe.

In 2020, it is revealed that Madan was actually Poorni's first boyfriend and the police found some evidence linking him to Mohan's death. He was wrongfully accused, and due to the incident, lost his education and family support. He desperately has been searching for Sathya and Poorni since 2010 as Madan had seen Poorni getting away with Sathya in his car after killing Mohan. Madan asks Sathya to show him the location of Poorni to get his revenge on her. Sathya takes Madan and Leela to his old farmhouse. Sathya tells Madan and Leela that he will enter the house through the back door and open the front door from inside as it appears to be locked. He enters through the back door, opens the front door, and appears with a shotgun. He shoots and kills Leela.

In a shocking turn of events, it is revealed that Sathya is actually a coldblooded serial killer. He killed Poorni in 2010 when he brought her to his farmhouse. Fearing that she would cheat on him someday and snitch about him to the police, he fooled Poorni using the same backdoor story, shot and killed her, and buried her in the farmhouse's garden. It is also revealed that, after killing Mohan, Sathya managed to loot the gold and money from Poorni's home without her knowledge and it was this money with which he had started his business in the first place. He also planted evidence against Madan after hacking into Poorni's online chats and made the police believe that Poorni had eloped with Madan so that Sathya cannot be brought into the picture at all.

Back in 2020, Sathya threatens Madan with the shotgun and orders him to bury Leela. Sathya then shoots and kills him and buries him along with Leela, telling himself that Leela was indeed a one-night stand.
