She is exasperated with her husband spending more and more time at work, and not with her and their daughter, so she decides to leave him. Alone, Pratyush gets a desperate phone call from his co-worker, Aslam Durrani, to attend at 88 Antop Hill. Upon arrival, he is met with a tall, gorgeous young woman, who goes by the name of Teesta. Anxious to find out Aslam’s plight and also of is attraction towards her, they go for a drive, and have a drink at a bar.
When they return, she invites him into her apartment, and goes to change her clothes. The next day, Murli Mansukhani, Teesta’s neighbor summons the police, who arrive and find Teesta’s dead body, slain with a sharp instrument. Then begins the manhunt for the killer, who the watchman has now identified as Pratyush. Pratyush meets with Aslam the next day, Aslam admits to having played a prank on him. But denies ever going to Antop Hill, nor ever knowing anyone by the name of Teesta.
The Police conclude that there were only two people in Teesta’s apartment that night, and that Teesta was killed by whoever was with her that night. Pratyush finds himself in an impossible position, unable to get an alibi, nor talk to his wife and daughter, he decides to burn all evidence, thus implicating himself all the more, – and then the police find the murder weapon in his house – but Pratyush is nowhere to be found.

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 4.7 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 61.
This is an awesome thriller movie. Don’t be swayed by the fact that is is not made by famous people,there are no super standard actors. It is nevertheless good.
Story is about Pratyush, a banker whose wife feels he is not spending enough time with the family, and he gets involved in a murder he does not commit. He receives a mysterious call from 88 Antop hill and goes to investigate,only to find a wayward woman who gets murdered. Pratyush is then on the run, with intelligent cop Arvind trying to track the killer, and the hero trying to find the killers,avoid those behind him.
The plot will keep you waiting till the end to know the mystery.
Music is alright but that’s not the most impressive thing.
Watch it. I’m sure you’ll love it.
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 1.5 star out of 5 Star.
