Plot
editThe film followed the story of Gia Singh, who travelled to her mother’s house one gloomy night. She was waiting for a Taxi, but instead of a taxi, a private car picked her up. But the car driver was not a common man; he was a psycho kidnapper who kidnapped the ladies and badly tortured them to death. Recently, some cases were filed in the police station for missing women, and followed by that, the sensible blind lady Gia Singh’s sixth sense gave her doubt; she also stated the same to the police, but the COP took Gia lightly.
The missing cases were handled by the detective Prithvi. Very soon, he uncovers the chilling truth - this was no ordinary kidnapping spree; it was a meticulously orchestrated saga of serial abductions, intricately interwoven and interconnected.
Assisted by Gia Singh, how Prithvi unravels the dark secrets and expose the malevolent orchestrator, forms the crux of the film.
