Imagine a crime scene of a gruesome murder, no motive, a dumb inspector, a witty intelligent assistant, no crime suspects and two individuals confessing to be the killer. Jay and Priyanka plan to marry each other as soon as their dream home turns into a reality. Jay suggests Priyanka take up a job as a nurse of a single, middle aged man, his boss Mr. Diwan, to make the payments for their home quickly. But their dream of owning the apartment is shattered when they are duped by the builder. Out of frustration and on Jay’s suggestion, Priyanka reluctantly marries Mr. Diwan who is terminally ill and has only four months to live. Inspite of his friend, Deepak Adhikari’s objections Mr. Diwan finally agrees. Things go topsy-turvy when Priyanka finds out that Mr. Diwan’s mother and not Mr. Diwan is terminally ill. The complications increase when Mr. Diwan is murdered and the plot thickens when Jay and Priyanka both own up to be the killer.
