Arun is a great pianist, who fakes being blind to improve his piano skills. He meets Sophie while trying to buy a piano. Sophie takes care of Arun and soon they begin an intimate romantic relationship. Sophie is impressed by Arun s talent and gets him an engagement at her father s diner. At the diner, a retired actor, Mohan, notices Arun and invites him to perform for his wedding anniversary. Arun arrives at the flat and Mohan s wife Simran opens the door. Simran, convinced that Arun is blind, lets him play the piano. Arun sees Mohan s dead body nearby but feigns ignorance and continues to play; he also sees Bobby, Simran s paramour, hiding in the bathroom. Simran and Bobby clean the body and stuff it into a suitcase while Arun plays.

Arun tries to report the murder to the police, but discovers that Bobby is a police inspector. Meanwhile, Simran overhears her elderly neighbour, Mrs. D Souza, talking to a police officer about Mohan s murder. Simran later kills Mrs. D Souza by pushing her off the ledge of their apartment. Arun sees the murder but is forced to continue feigning blindness. Later when Simran brings poisonous offerings for him after her husband s last rites and pulls out a gun, Arun admits to faking his blindness as an experiment to help his piano playing. He says he will leave for London and will keep Simran s secret, but she drugs him.

A neighbour s child, suspicious of Arun s blindness, records a video of Arun fully able to see and shows Sophie. As Sophie arrives, Simran arranges things to look like she and Arun are having sex. Furious and heartbroken, Sophie leaves Arun. When he wakes up, he realizes he has been blinded from the drug Simran gave him. Bobby comes to Arun s home to kill him. Arun barely escapes, but he faints after hitting a telephone pole.

Arun wakes up in an illegal organ harvesting clinic. Dr. Swamy and his assistants Murali and his sister decide to spare Arun when Arun reveals he has information that will make them millions. They kidnap Simran, stage a suicide scene, and blackmail Bobby. However, Murali and his sister double-cross Arun, tie him up with Simran, and plan to take the money themselves. Bobby shoots Murali but is trapped in an elevator and accidentally shoots and kills himself. The money is revealed to be counterfeit. Simran helps Arun free himself and he removes Simran s blindfold. He tries to escape, while Simran frees herself and attacks him. Dr. Swamy enters; after a brief fight, he and Arun knock Simran out, tie her up in the boot of a car, and drive away.
