Apurva

Apurva

In a rural area, a car is ambushed by a gang of four men—Jugnu, Sukha, Balli, and Chota—who kill its occupants and loot their jewellery. Planning their next target, the gang sets their sights on a nearby truck. Meanwhile, Apurva Kashyap, a young woman, travels by bus to surprise her fiancé, Siddharth “Sid.” When the bus driver refuses to yield to Jugnu's car, the gang escalates the situation, killing the driver and conductor. During a phone call between Apurva and Sid, Sukha argues with Sid, ultimately deciding to abduct Apurva. The gang takes Apurva to an abandoned village, where Chota threatens her. In a moment of desperation, Apurva pushes him away, but Chota retaliates, knocking her unconscious. An astrologer, Tara Chand, soon arrives and is also captured by the gang. Regaining consciousness, Apurva escapes with Tara, who becomes her ally. As they try to evade capture, Apurva confronts and kills Chota in self-defense. Blaming Tara for Chota’s death, the gang hunts him down, eventually killing him while Apurva narrowly escapes. She manages to call Sid on Tara's phone, informing him of the gang’s identities, but is left to survive alone until morning as the police advise Sid to wait to intervene. Balli soon discovers Apurva and attempts to sexually assault her. Pretending to submit, she seizes an opportunity to overpower and stab him. Jugnu and Sukha, finding Balli gravely injured, continue their pursuit.
