Plot

Neil Oberoi is a lonely billionaire with a serious heart condition and needs a heart transplant. He finds a donor who has left behind the beautiful widow Anahita Saxena. Anahita tells him that her husband Anuj Saxena (the donor) had an affair with her friend Ria, but when he changed his mind and decided to get back to Anahita, Ria couldn't bear it and threatened to kill both of them. And that Ria is responsible for his death, and she's vulnerable because Ria's friend Rocky harasses her. Ria enters the house. Anahita tries to kill Ria, but Neil stops her. In this dilemma, Neil passionately kisses her. He leaves with guilt. They meet again, and Anahita slaps him. But they both admit their lust for each other and end up having sex for hours. One night after having sex, Neil murders Rocky to protect his lady. Neil rapes Anahita; however, it turns consensual. After the incident, Arshad ACP Abhay Rastogi finds a watch belonging to Neil and starts suspecting him. Neil and Anahita try their best to save themselves from police.

Meanwhile, Neil tries to kill Ria, but then it is revealed that Anahita is the real culprit who killed her husband because he wanted to leave her and marry Ria. Anahita couldn't bear it, and she plotted to kill her husband through Rocky and made it look like an accident. After learning that Anahita had been betraying him for his manliness and lust and used him for sex, Neil gets heartbroken and baffled. He tells Anahita that he has poisoned her drink. She goes mad at him and runs away from the house in fear. While driving on the road, she meets an accident and dies.

Neil explains everything to the police, and he is all free. At last, Neil reveals to Ria that he had never poisoned Anahita's drink. It was her fear that killed her.
