In the fictional Himachal Pradesh town of Sironah, two morally upright officers, both battling their own inner demons, try to find the person responsible for the alleged r*pe and m*rder of a teenage girl who had ostensibly come to spend the holidays with her mother, a foreign national, in the picturesque town.

ROVI LODGE

-Who is it?
-There's a delivery for you, sir.

What's your name?

Hey, I asked you something,
what's your name?

Rabbit.

Yes, sir. Shall I drop you somewhere?

SIRONAH CITY COUNCIL - CITY LIMIT BEGINS

-Come on, move!
-Pull it down. Stop.

Hey, what is in the truck?
Come down and show me.

What's in the truck?

Pick it up from the other side.

Greetings, sir.

-Okay, you may go.
-Come on, move!

Okay, pull it up.

Come on, brother. Let's go.

They're freshly baked.

-Thank you.
-Thank you so much.

-How's your tea?
-Very good.

Mr. Govind?

Please come with me.

You made a big mistake coming here,
Kochar. All hell's broken loose.

Please don't mind, Mr. Manhas,
but right now, I'm your responsibility.

I came to Sironah
because of your resort. It's simple.

Mishra!

-Sir?
-Yeah.

The guys in Delhi
are not picking up the phone.

Oh, no.

Hello?

Nutan?

How are you, Bunty?

I'm fine. And you?

-Bunty, I want to meet you.
-Me too, but--

No buts, Bunty, I want to meet today.

Okay, I'll come.

Chotu, pick her up.

Kasturi's daughter.

There isn't a bigger insurance
than the enemy's daughter.

Okay.

At 10:21 p.m.,
Aimee passed by the front of your cafe.

At 10:30 p.m., she rode with Bunty
on the bike and went towards Hotel Bom.

Clear, right?

We saw two hours of footage
after this time.

But we found this today.

Is this you?

Yes.

You weren't home
on the night of Aimee's m*rder.

And the day of Sundar's death,
you were in the court.

I didn't do anything.

Yes.

And this noose?

Kamli. She was our servant's daughter.

She was poor.
We belonged to different castes.

I was scared to tell my dad,
but I loved her a lot.

She was carrying my child.

But before I could talk to my dad,
the Leopard-Man preyed on her.

Kamli was his first victim.

She had gone to the jungle
to collect wood.

He r*ped and m*rder*d her
and then hung her body on the tree.

I couldn't even tell anyone
about me and Kamli.

I've been looking for this Leopard-Man
for many years.

Why just on the night of lunar eclipse?

He used to hunt
only on the night of the lunar eclipse.

Since then, a few days before
and after the lunar eclipse,

I set out to hunt him down.

I want revenge, sir.

Hey! Pick her up.

Who are you? No!

Stop screaming.

Pick her up!

-Bunty!
-Bloody hell!

-Kick his a*s! Hey, leave me!
-No!

You piece of… Hey, leave me!

Hey! Move!

Dad, he has a knife!

k*ll the b*stard! k*ll him!

You as*h*le!

Bunty, you f*ck!

Bunty, you f*ck! as*h*le!

Mr. Kalyan, please listen to me.

Tell the Home Minister,
thanks for not helping me this time.

Now I will see what I have to do.

Jai Hind!

Pick up the phone, Chotu.

Mr. Mishra. You want to pick up his call?

We only will have to find a way.

The route to Nepal is still open.

Even for you.

Just get us out of Sironah.

Mr. Manhas, you don't have much time.

Sir, Dr. Joshi has sent the report.

Gagan's sample matched.

All the kids in Sironah
are given your example!

"Be like Gagan!
Be a scholar, a gentleman!"

But one thing is clear today, that…

You can study and become a scholar,
but not a good person.

Come on, Gagan, tell us!

Will you tell the truth,
or do you want more of this?

I'll tell you the truth!

Waste of time, man. f*ck!

Kanti, have you lost your mind?

She'll be fine. She'll regain
consciousness in sometime. Chill.

Hey, Kritika! Hi.

If not her, then someone else.
I have to score today.

Real men need it.

You won't understand.

Hey! Did you like it?

Please…

Relax, I can help you.

No, don't!

Papa!

Kanti, give me the keys.

I'll drive today,
you've had a lot to drink.

Keep quiet. You've had drinks too.

-And you?
-I've lived it.

Life, king-size.

Come on, good boy. I'll drop you home.

Whatever happened with Aimee after that,
both of us don't know about it, ma'am.

Sir, everything's over for me, right?

Oh, yes, that's right.

This as*h*le tried to abduct Nutan!

There are two more men in the car.

Auntie, Gagan… Did he do that to Aimee…

You already knew that Gagan did it?

Manhas had told me.

We found out from the hospital's doctor

that Kanti did not r*pe that girl.
His sample did not match.

Thank God.

Apart from Kanti and Aimee,
only Gagan went into that room.

If this news gets out,
it will spread like wildfire, DC.

Sironah Civil Hospital
is just around the corner.

It won't take long
to take your son's sample.

-One phone call to the police--
-No.

My son can't… He could not have done this.

Ask Gagan in private.

Sometimes, boys make such mistakes.

I spoke to Gagan,

and he confessed his mistake.

Even my son had
committed a mistake, Ashok bhaiya,

and I had sent him to jail for that.

How will I save your son?

Anyway, now your loyalty lies with Manhas.
Why don't you knock on his door for help?

Please come, sir.

You won't tell me?

You won't tell me? I'll break your bones.

Come on, tell me!

You won't tell me?

You won't tell me?

I'll tell you!

-Spill, or I won't stop hitting!
-I'll tell you.

Mr. Manhas had
made a plan with Mr. Mishra.

The manager told me
that the girl was with Kanti Dhumal.

Kanti drugged her drink,
and brought her upstairs.

-When did Kanti get out of jail?
-He's out on parole, sir.

k*ll this girl,
and put her body in Kanti's car.

How can I do that?

Hey, don't ask questions, fool.

Do as he says.

There's only one way, and if this happens,

I'll get the ticket
and be able to build the resort as well.

Finish her.

Bring her here.

Go on, put her in the trunk.

Sundar was with us,
Mr. Manhas had struck a deal with him.

He just had to take Kanti's name.

Why did you get Sundar k*lled
if he was your man?

We did not get him k*lled.

-Are you lying?
-No, sir.

Why did you get him k*lled?

We thought Jagdamba got him k*lled,
in order to save Kanti.

But Kanti's sample did not match.

Bhaati called.

He said that sample did not match Kanti's.

He got saved by a whisker.

Sir, I was saying…

The DC's son, Gagan,
was with him that night.

He came out of the girl's room, scared.

Then we found out from Mr. Bhaati
that Bunty was with Aimee that night.

We kidnapped him, and took his sample.

And you took copied my daughter's video
from Bunty's phone?

Yeah, and then we told Bunty
to take the blame for the crime,

otherwise we will leak the girl's video--

Ms. Kasturi!

Manhas wanted Jagdamba to get implicated.
Why did you drag Bunty into this?

Sir, both Kanti and Gagan were
with that girl in Hotel Bom.

Then Dr. Joshi said that Kanti
did not r*pe her. So who was left? Gagan.

Then you should've implicated Gagan.

Why would we do that? We had to save him.

It was Mr. Manhas' plan to blackmail
the DC with the information on Gagan.

To get his project passed.

So you implicated that poor boy?

He fit into that trap, ma'am.
People had seen him with that girl.

And he even went to Hotel Bom with her.

Come on, hurry up!

Nilima?

Nilima, open the door.

-Sir?
-Yeah?

Chotu told everything to the police.

Nilima, listen to me.
Please open the door, dear.

Leave me alone, Papa!

Ravi, please convince her.
There's no other way.

Once we reach Nepal,
we'll think of something.

The police will be
reaching here any minute now.

Dad, you should leave with Omi.
I will follow with Nilima.

We're one team.

-Am I right?
-Yes, Dad.

What are you staring at? Let's go.

Nilima, they're gone now.

Gagan r*ped Aimee.

Neither Kanti, nor Jagdamba knew this.

Manhas' suspicion rose only when
he found out that Kanti hadn't r*ped her.

Aimee was k*lled in the hotel
by Manhas' man.

Gagan, Ravi or Jagdamba,
none of them knew about this.

Aimee's body was in the jeep,
and neither Gagan nor Kanti knew this.

She was r*ped by one person,
and k*lled by another.

But how did Aimee's body
get to the jungle from Kanti's jeep?

And who k*lled Sundar?

Who is this Leopard-Man?

His name is Kalidas Mallah.

He was a hangman in Kanpur Central Jail
in 1996. He ex*cuted 16 convicts.

This is his file.

Sergeant, who is this Leopard-Man?

I told you, the enemy is on the inside.

Leopard-Man has been living
in this village for the past 19 years.

He is the Leopard-Man.

Him? Ms. Jagdamba's servant, Nandan.

Nandan?

He is the serial k*ller?

Jagdamba's husband
was the DC of this area.

He took a retirement, became his driver,
and also did things around the house.

After the DC's death,
he became Jagdamba's man Friday.

The r*pes and murders that were committed


And he is the one who k*lled Sundar?

Hello, Ravi?

What, Nepal?

How long ago?

If you get any other information,
please update me.

Manhas is headed towards the Nepal border,
and Omi is with him.

And I cannot let Omi run away
the second time.

Angad. Please don't go alone.

If need be, I'll ask for backup.
You go and arrest Nandan.

We'll meet soon.

Come on, Sergeant.
We have to go to Ms. Jagdamba's house.

Let's go.

Nandan must've heard
the fable of the jungle's Leopard-Man.

He spread a rumor,
that the real k*ller is the Leopard-Man.

I had gotten to him
after his ninth victim.

But he ran away, and gave me a scar.

I hadn't seen a noose up close till then.

But after so many years,
it finally struck me.

This noose is exactly like the one
made by a hangman.

Ms. Jagdamba, where is Nandan?

Why, what happened?

Ma'am, that serial k*ller,
the Leopard-Man… is actually Nandan.

-What rubbish is this, Kasturi?
-Ma'am, your life is in danger.

Until I reach there,
please don't speak to him.

-Hello? Do you understand?
-Yeah.

Madam.

-Nandan--
-The police found out everything.

But, ma'am, if the police find out

that you asked me to dump the body in
the jungle, they won't spare you as well.

-Now what?
-Don't worry, ma'am.

You hung that girl's body on the tree--

It was the lunar eclipse,
so I hung the girl's body on the tree.

So, if anyone found out later,
they couldn't get to Kanti.

And people would think
that the Leopard-Man is back.

But don't worry,
the police will only get to me.

I'll get you and Kanti out of here
before that happens.

Don't be crazy, he's in jail.

Ma'am, I will

help him escape from there.
After all, Kanti is our son.

We are a family.

I had considered you my own
from the very first day.

What nonsense are you uttering?

I used to feel very jealous
when I would see you with Mr. Mahesh.

I used to feel very angry,

and then that rage
would be unleashed on other girls.

You are… the Leopard-Man?

No, ma'am.

I am your Nandan.

The villagers created
the fable of the Leopard-Man.

Naive people will believe
any concocted tale.

I just took advantage of that.

The first time,
I had used a tiger claw like weapon.

A tiger claw like weapon.
Then I got used to it.

But, yeah, I never let the Leopard-Man
hunt after your husband's demise.

It wasn't easy to keep the Leopard-Man
under control, but I did it. Why?

I had your and Kanti's responsibility
on my shoulders.

I even k*lled Sundar
so he wouldn't take Kanti's name.

I saved Kanti, ma'am.

Nandan, please surrender to the police.

Surrender?

If I surrender,
they will throw you in jail.

You, locked up in jail? Because of me?

I won't let this happen.

Ma'am, you…

You are mine.

You don't understand.

You don't understand at all.

Ma'am?

Ms. Jagdamba!

You don't understand.

I did all of this for my family!

Please open the door!

Ms. Jagdamba!

-Yes, ma'am?
-Bhim Singh, catch Nandan, quickly!

He's going to k*ll me.

What, ma'am?

Come quickly and stop Nandan
before he kills me! Do you not hear me?

Bhim Singh? Bhim Singh!

Security!

Look behind you!

Ms. Jagdamba?

Rana, Negi, go and check upstairs.

Ma'am, there's a body here!

Ma'am, look here.

He is going towards the jungle, let's go!

Rana, Negi, spread out.
He is somewhere here, close by.

Surrender.

Surrender!

Are you okay?

Ms. Jagdamba? Ms. Jagdamba!

Rana, go inside the jungle.
Sergeant has gone after Nandan.

Hold her, Negi. One minute.
Call the ambulance, ASAP.

-Yeah, Angad?
-Ms. Kasturi, did you find Nandan?

Sergeant and three constables
have gone after him.

Ms. Jagdamba is very critical.
What is your position?

Omi and Manhas
are headed to the Lava checkpost.

I'm taking the Kali temple route.

It has started snowing here,
and I'm unable to contact the backup team.

I'll do something.

Thank you, Bhaati. Thank you.

I will remember your timely help.

A red alert has been issued for us.

Bhaati called and asked us
to take the hilly route.

Chandan, there will be more snow
on that road. Drive carefully.

Okay, sir.

Don't worry. We'll get there.

Tie him up properly, Govind.

-Mr. Mahadev, are you okay?
-I'm fine.

Go quickly and get some men
from the village.

Go. Go!

Get out of the car! Surrender!

Come out!

Back up the car!

What are you looking at?!
Go out and sh**t him! Go!

Kasturi…

Get down from the car.

Get up. Get up!

Kasturi, you're making a huge mistake.

I… Kasturi!

Angad.

Omi, tell me about Maroot.

Where is his body? Tell me!

Tell me, Omi, what did you do to Maroot?

Tell me if you've k*lled him.
Where is his body? Tell me.

Say something, Omi!

Your son is alive.

What? Maroot is alive?

Where is he? Tell me, Omi, where's my son?

Look, Omi, you're about to die.
Tell me the truth.

You're dying too.

So tell me, Omi, where's Maroot?

Where is my Maroot, Omi?

-Who is it?
-There's a delivery for you, sir.

What's your name?

Hey, I asked you something,
what's your name?

Rabbit.

Rabbit? Your parents couldn't find
a better name? Were they crackheads?

Code name.

Sir, payment?

-I'll pay later.
-I want the money now.

I won't pay. What will you do?

Idiot. Get lost.
