Synopsis:
Preeti
Sengupta
(Tanushree

is
an
airhostess
living
in
with
her
boyfriend
Karan
Malhotra
(Rohit

They
share

2BHK
apartment
in
the
northern
suburbs
of
Mumbai
and
are
befriended
by
their
elderly
neighbor
Madhusudan
Tanha
(Anupam

a
struggling
poet
and
lyricist.
Tanha
is
a
loner
living
with
his
only
companion,
a
Persian
cat
whom
he
lovingly
calls
Shehzadi.
Preeti
is
possessive
and
has
issues
with
trust.
When
she
mistakenly
suspects
her
boyfriend
to
be
unfaithful,
she
throws
him
out
of
the
house
but
soon
realizes
she
can't
afford
the
payment
on
the
apartment
on
her
own.
On
the
advice
of
a
fellow
airhostess,
she
advertises
for
a
tenant
to
share
her
apartment.
Enter
Neha
Bhardwaj
(Neetu
Chandra),
a
modest
small-town
girl
asking
for
accommodation.
Very
impressed
by
her
simplicity
and
respectfulness,
Preeti
believes
she
has
found
a
perfect
roommate.
The
two
girls
soon
become
close
-
their
camaraderie
leads
them
to
even
become
companions.
Until
things
begin
to
go
disastrously
wrong
-
slowly
and
steadily.
Preeti's
seemingly
normal
life
is
thrown
off
gear
-
with
a
series
of
incidents
that
take
her
by
surprise.
Is
it
just
co-incidence
or
is
someone
deliberately
causing
all
the
trouble?
Is
Neha
really
as
simple
as
she
seems?
In
the
grip
of
mystery,
unforeseen
and
gruesome
events
and
murder
as
its
heinous
best,
the
truth
seems
shocking
as
it
in
folds.
As
Neha
and
Preeti
are
torn
apart
by
suspicion,
deceit
and
betrayal,
the
question
is
-
will
the
romance
between
Karan
and
Preeti
survive
or...
