Plot[edit]

Himaang (Prashast Singh) is on his trip to Vaishno Devi and while returning to Haridwar, he sees someone in the train. A fight breaks in, but soon Himaang finds no one to be there. As the train departs, another fight takes place in which he throws the man out of the train when it crosses a railway bridge. The train reaches Haridwar in a day and upon arrival Himaang talks to himself about how revenge turned out to be painful for him. It was the man he had sought revenge on, who was appearing wherever he went. Himaang plans to leave the city and travel to New Delhi to find out something regarding this. Once again, he sees the man and gets chased by him after which he instantly leaves for New Delhi via a bus.

Upon arriving in New Delhi, Himaang finds no solution and decides to board a train to Agra, where he would actually come to know what's actually going on. He reaches Agra and while on the terrace of his house, he sees the man again and soon, a big fistfight breaks in, and soon it is known that there's no one there apart from Himaang, who realizes this when he tries to hit the man against the wall and has his hand hit on it instead. He doubts if he has got some mental illness. Later, he finds a book and after reading it with depth, he realizes that he's suffering from some sort of a hallucinatory disorder which causes him to see the man again and again, and almost everywhere.

Himaang now boards a train bound for Haridwar and on the next day of arrival, he realizes it that the man exists only in his imagination and to finish him, he needs to kill him in his imagination, something he didn't do even in reality. He also recalls how he only sought revenge and handed over the man to the police but it was perhaps his extreme means of revenge which was shocking to himself and thus got him diagnosed with such a disorder. Himaang gathers a toy rifle and a gun lighter to kill the man in his imagination. Soon, as he sees the man a prolonged fight takes place in which the man appears and disappears. In between, Himaang's dead brother appears captive under the man, in his imagination. Himaang pleads him to leave his brother and even drops his weapon. But seeing no solution, he further fights with him and knocks him down. He speaks a few words to him before killing him in his imagination with the toy rifle.

Some time later, Himaang now decides to travel to Odisha via an airplane and while he's at the Puri beach, a friend calls him to tell that the man who appeared in Himaang's imagination was finally going to be punished by the law. This makes Himaang smile with happiness and be relieved that the man won't appear anymore.
