This cinematic spectacle takes the audience on an electrifying journey of intrigue, cunning, and deception.
Mumbai, July 17 2024- The story revolves around ex-FATF agent Ananya, played by Suman Rao, who crosses paths with master con artist Neel, portrayed by the incredibly talented Nad Sham. Meeting through the enigmatic Dark Web, this unlikely duo pulls off the heist of a lifetime. Their target is a billionaire fugitive whose fortune is built on ill-gotten gains and a sprawling smuggling network. The film expertly weaves their mission into a narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
Nad Sham, in his debut role, delivers a performance that is nothing short of mesmerising. As Neel, he embodies the charisma and cunning of a master con artist with such authenticity that it’s hard to believe this is his first major film. His chemistry with Suman Rao’s Ananya is palpable, making their partnership both believable and compelling.

The supporting cast is equally impressive. Nandini Gupta, Miss India World 2023, brings a fresh and engaging presence to the screen, complementing the leads with her nuanced performance. Siddhanth Kapoor, taking on the mantle of the main villain, channels the sinister charm reminiscent of his father, Shakti Kapoor. Pratyaksh Rajbhatt also stands out as a formidable antagonist, adding layers of tension to the plot.
Produced by Farheen Vencapah and Yash Modhave, the film is a visual and narrative feast. The creative team, including Apoorva Verma and Kapil Bisht, have delivered exceptional work, crafting a movie that is as visually stunning as it is narratively gripping.
