Plot
In the fictional Middle Eastern city of Al-Barkat, Ankit Sethi owns a diamond insurance company and is drowning in debt after his workers misplace a client’s diamonds worth ₹20 crores. On a flight, he meets Neha Grover, a flight attendant, and is immediately drawn to her. They go on a date, fall in love, and later Neha tells him that she is pregnant. Ankit proposes, she accepts, and they prepare to marry. Before they can do so, they are attacked by two goons working for the client to whom Ankit owes the money. Neha is badly injured and loses the baby. With no other way to repay the debt, they decide to carry out a robbery.
Ankit learns that Minister Harish Sanyal plans to smuggle diamonds from Al-Barkat to India by plane. The diamonds are hidden in a cellphone casing and kept inside a briefcase secured by a code. Ankit strikes a deal with Sanyal’s secretary: he will reveal the code in exchange for half the diamonds. Once on board, Ankit and Neha begin their plan. Neha deliberately spills food on the courier’s clothes while serving passengers, forcing him to leave for the washroom. Ankit seizes the chance to open the briefcase, but before he can reach the diamonds, masked terrorists hijack the flight and take everyone hostage.
