Story/ Summary
Rehan Roy (played by Saif Ali Khan) is a charming and skilled jewel thief, known across the underworld for pulling off impossible heists. However, his world turns dangerous when powerful gangster Rajan Aulakh (played by Jaideep Ahlawat) forces him into a mission he can’t refuse to steal the “Red Sun,” an extremely rare and priceless African ruby.
As Rehan starts planning the elaborate heist, he crosses paths with Farah (Nikita Dutta), Rajan’s wife, who is caught in her own web of secrets and ambitions. Their complicated relationship threatens to derail Rehan’s meticulous plans.
The story moves across glamorous international locations from the bustling streets of Mumbai to the exotic backdrops of Budapest as Rehan faces double-crosses, shifting loyalties, and unexpected betrayals. Each twist peels back layers of deception, revealing that in the world of thieves and gangsters, trust is the most dangerous game.
In the final act, during the tense and action-packed heist, hidden motives come to light, leaving Rehan to fight not just for the ruby, but for his own survival.
