==Plot==<br />
The film opens with Jaideep meeting Vikramjit on a rainy night and inviting him to his house for drinks. During their conversation, Jaideep recounts how his wife, Neha, is having an affair with Sagar - the story is entirely a ruse to convince Vikramjit to help Jaideep in exacting revenge on his wife. On receiving refusal, Jaideep blackmails Vikramjit with a photo of him disposing off a dead body and his knowledge of various aliases maintained to peddle drugs. Vikramjit agrees for a sum of INR 1,00,000.<br />
<br />
The murder plot is hatched - on a weekend night when Jaideep and Sagar will be away at a party, Vikramjit has to enter the house stealthily and wait in the drawing room until Jaideep telephones Neha; Neha has to come to the drawing room to pick up the telephone and Vikramjit has to strangle her, and leave. However, the plan falls apart when Neha kills Vikramjit in self-defense.<br />
<br />
Jaideep reaches home and doctors the crime scene to frame Neha, who is shocked and vulnerable. The public prosecutor proves her guilt and she is sentenced to prison. However, inspector Baruah senses foul play and investigates for the truth to be revealed.<br />
<br />
The truth being that Neha never had an affair with Sagar. Both of them were in a relationship before her marriage and reconnected after years, and became friends. Jaideep had married Neha for her wealth, and concocted the murder plan to frame Neha and gain unfettered access to her wealth.<br />
<br />
When exposed, Jaideep kills himself and Neha is proven innocent.<br />
<br />
===Difference from the original===<br />
