Plot
editDr. Eby John (Kunchacko Boban) is a successful cardiac surgeon, leading a happy family life with his wife, Niya (Mamta Mohandas), and their lovely daughter, Achu (Baby Anika). One day, while Eby is attending a conference in Bengaluru, a lady named Shweta (Gowri Munjal) tells him that her friends have kidnapped his daughter and wife and are holding them captive in their home. It goes without saying that the child's life will be in danger if he fails to meet their demand for Rs 1 crore within twenty-four hours. Hence, the title "Race", denoting 'race against time'.
