Plot
Dev places detective Dev Anand Burman (Ashish Chaudhary) in the middle of emotional upheavals and covert circumstances. Fighting inner-demons borne out of his wife Mahek's (Puja Banerjee) untimely demise, Dev is living as a recluse with a cat named Madhubala. He works closely with Inspector Amod Narvekar (Amit Dolawat) who is convinced that Dev is the mastermind behind his wife's death. As he struggles to return to normalcy, Dev fosters a strong bond with his landlady Zohra Aapa or Zohra Rizwi (Jayshree Arora) as she cares for him, almost like a mother.
