Plot summary
Shaina Mehra is a psychiatrist in Warsaw, and her father wants her to consider marrying a friend's son. She meets that man, police officer Himanshu Tyagi, on a train, and neither is eager for an arranged match. They talk, and Shaina describes Devi Lal Singh, an intelligent man who chases a thrill. She met him in Delhi while helping her friend Vidhi marry his friend Jignesh, and they began dating. A chemical lab job he took at her urging ended in a quick resignation, and he left her, saying his next kick would be money. Himanshu describes a clever thief he cannot catch, who robs wealthy associates of the corrupt businessman Shiv Gajra. Shaina then sees Devi in Warsaw, where he is treated after an accident, and takes on his case.
