The film is set against the backdrop of the insurgency in Assam and follows a non-linear narrative across various locations like Delhi, Ladakh, and Assam.
Ajay falls in love with Meghna at first sight, but as their relationship unfolds, dark truths and hidden motives come to light. Meghna, later revealed as Moina, has a traumatic past involving rape and loss due to security forces, leading her to seek vengeance through terrorist activities.
As the story progresses, Ajay’s life takes unexpected turns. Rejected by Meghna multiple times, he agrees to an arranged marriage with Preeti. However, Meghna resurfaces seeking help and shelter, which complicates Ajay’s life further. Suspicion arises about Meghna’s true intentions, and as the plot thickens, Ajay finds himself entangled in a web of terrorism.
The climax of the movie culminates in a heart-wrenching and tragic ending. Despite his undying love and persistent confessions, Ajay fails to prevent Meghna’s suicide mission. The film concludes with a poignant moment where Ajay’s sacrificial love and unwavering devotion manage to briefly touch Meghna’s heart before both characters meet a tragic end as the bomb hidden on Meghna detonates.
The unconventional and emotionally charged ending highlights Ajay’s ultimate act of love and sacrifice, showcasing how his obsessive love transcends hate and even manages to briefly change the heart of a terrorist.
