New Delhi, 1999. The guns at Kargil are still blazing when another one goes off, this time in the nation's capital. Jessica, a young attractive model trying her hand at bartending, is shot dead at a celebrity party. Her crime - refusing to serve a drink after closing hours! The culprit Manish, son of a prominent politician, inebriated by a deadly cocktail of alcohol and a sense of entitlement, pulls the trigger in a fit of rage.

With 300 of Delhi's swish set present at the party, many of whom are witnesses to the murder, Manish looks all set to go to the gallows. Except, that it doesn't quite turn out that way!

Now two women, Jessica's sister, Sabrina and the feisty TV reporter, Meera will have to drum up every resource at their disposal to outwit Manish at his own game, if the truth is to have any chance of prevailing over money and political clout.

This is not quite the super-slick film, but it does pass muster. It’s screen-play hangs a little loose. Direction is average, and the weak supporting cast doesn’t quite bring a sheen of reality. Both Rani and Vidya though, bring presence and vitality to their roles, and stop this film from being a superficial controversy-based film. Before watching the film, I hadn’t expected much, since films based on such notorious cases rarely mirror the true angst of the tragedy. This one, fortunately, comes close to doing it, courtesy the two lead actresses. . .
