Story In Detail:

Ek Villain Returns opens on a slasher note as a masked person gatecrashes an aspiring singer Aarvi (Tara Sutaria)'s house party through a window, and attacks her and her friends. A leaked video from the crime scene has Aarvi addressing her attacker as Gautam Mehra (Arjun Kapoor), a rich spoilt brat.

Through a series of flashbacks, we learn that Aarvi and Gautam share a rocky history. Aarvi had created a parodical song from a viral video of Gautam creating a scene at his ex-girlfriend's wedding. In retaliation, he gets close to Aarvi by helping her perform at a famous music festival and ends up exposing a hidden secret about her life.

In a parallel track, Bhairav (John Abraham), a cab driver and a part-time zoo worker falls for Rasika (Disha Patani), a salesgirl at a retail shop. Their love story hits a roadblock when Bhairav discovers a shocking side of Rasika.

Cut to the present, a serial killer is on the prowl in the city. He specifically targets young women with one-sided lovers. "Dil tute aashiqon ka maseeha banna chahta hain," a cop describes him to the audience. The rest of the film revolves around revealing the identity of this smiley-faced killer in a place where 'heroes don't exist'.
