Plot

Rahul (Arjun Rampal) and Karan (Zayed Khan) are business partners. The film begins with the discovery of dead body of Pooja (Amisha Patel), Rahul's wife. It is apparent that Pooja has committed suicide by hanging herself. However, before the postmortem, Pooja's body goes missing. As the investigation goes on, the film turns to a flashback, where it is revealed that Karan used to be Pooja's ex-boyfriend. Karan was brash and good looking, but he was extremely possessive of Pooja. This caused Pooja to break up with him.

After the break up, Karan left town and Pooja met a handsome, loving, wealthy man, Rahul. Soon, the two got married and started living a happy married life. However, one day, Rahul lost his eyes in a car crash. Meanwhile, Karan became a wealthy man, unaware of the fact that Pooja is now married. He also met Karan, and the two becoming business partners.

However, Karan became angry after learning about Rahul and Pooja. He started harassing Pooja behind Rahul's back. The story comes to the present, where the police are investigating the case. With new developments in the place, the police start suspecting that Pooja's death is not a suicide and that Karan has something to do with it.

Karan realizes that somebody is trying to frame him. His only logical suspect is Rahul, but he is unable to understand how and why. Meanwhile, the police gather enough circumstantial evidence pointing towards Karan. Karan is tried for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, Karan manages to bribe a Constable to procure a tape recorder for him. That night, Rahul comes to meet Karan.

Rahul starts explaining that he had found out that his blindness was curable. For the same purpose, he went abroad and had operation done on himself secretly. Rahul intended to surprise Pooja, but upon his arrival, found her in Karan's arms. This infuriated him, but he kept quiet. However, later that night, he accidentally made her realize that he can see now. After that, Pooja put two and two together and committed suicide.

Rahul found an audio cassette recorded by Pooja. In the cassette, Pooja explained the whole story and also told him that Karan was harassing her. She had to play along, because Karan had threatened her that he will harm Rahul. Rahul now tells to a captive Karan that Pooja did commit suicide, but in his eyes, her death was a murder and Karan, a murderer. Hence, he vowed to make Karan pay.

Then Rahul starts explaining how he framed Karan. After he is done talking, Karan jubiliantly shows him the tape recorder. Rahul tells him that he had anticipated this move and reveals that the tape recorder had no cells. Realizing that Rahul has succeeded in trapping him, Karan becomes crestfallen, while Rahul remarks that he has fulfilled a promise (made to Pooja). In the end, Rahul is shown immersing Pooja's ashes in the river.

The movie is a remake of Tamil super hit Sabaash
