Plot
The story revolves around Anaamika, an IT professional, who arrives in Hyderabad in search of her missing husband, Ajay. She goes to the police station to file a complaint but is ignored by the officers. However, one policeman named Sarathy decides to help her, and their search for Ajay begins. Anaamika visits the hotel where her husband last stayed, but the manager denies his presence. She proves otherwise by accurately describing the state of a specific room based on Ajay's description. She befriends a little boy named Raju, who helps her navigate the local area. Together with Sarathy, Anaamika visits the company where her husband worked and discovers that he had resigned two weeks before. They also learn from Raju that Ajay was kidnapped by four goons. Anaamika informs the police about this, and the hotel manager gives her Ajay's clothes, admitting that he misled her to protect the hotel's reputation. They try to identify the goons through a lineup but are unsuccessful. Anaamika confirms that an unidentified body in the mortuary is not Ajay.
Later, they attend a Durga pooja where a set of blessed bangles and a dress are given. Sarathy promises to take Anaamika to an informant the next day. They find the informant who informs them about students discussing a recent kidnapping. They try to speak with the Imam, but he refuses and laments the negative perception of madrassas in the area. However, the Imam feels compelled to help Anaamika and contacts Sarathy. He compares a photo of Ajay to one from his wedding day and realizes they are the same person. Unfortunately, the Imam is later killed by a visitor.
Anaamika and Sarathy attend a wedding where they encounter Sarathy's boss, Ravi Chandra. Ravi reveals his knowledge of Ajay's kidnapping and offers to help Anaamika in exchange for an affair. She rejects his advances and escapes his harassment. Anaamika meets Ravi Chandra again and agrees to an affair if he finds Ajay within 24 hours. Ravi starts investigating Ajay's disappearance but is later murdered by the same person who killed the Imam.
