The film tells the story of two unusual friends, a wheelchair-bound chess grandmaster and a grief-stricken ATS officer, who are brought together by a peculiar twist of fate as part of a wider conspiracy that has cast a dark shadPlot[edit]
Anti-Terrorism Squad(ATS) officer Daanish Ali(Farhan Akhtar) lives a blissful life with his wife Ruhana(Aditi Rao Hydari) and little daughter Noorie. One day, while Daanish is driving with Noorie, he spots a known terrorist, Farooq Rameez, driving by and chases him. Rameez and his gang ambush Daanish’s vehicle and Noorie is killed in the ensuing firefight while Rameez escapes.
Ruhana is shattered and blames Daanish for Noorie’s death, completely shutting him out from her life. Daanish moves to his friend and colleague Sartaj’s house where Sartaj gives him sleeping pills; however, Daanish overhears Sartaj discussing Rameez’s location with their superintendent SP(John Abraham). Unexpectedly, Daanish then turns up at Rameez’s location while a police operation is ongoing and starts a shootout, eventually killing Rameez. The ATS bosses are enraged as they wanted to capture Rameez alive and find out which politician intelligence sources say he was in Delhi to meet. Daanish is sent away on medical leave.
A grief-stricken Daanish is about to kill himself at his daughter’s grave when a mysterious van appears, driving off when Daanish yells at it. Daanish gets up and finds a wallet lying with an address in it. He goes to return the wallet and meets its owner, a wheelchair-bound chess master named Pandit Omkar Nath Dhar(Amitabh Bachchan), who tells him he was Noorie’s chess teacher. The Pandit starts teaching Daanish chess and tells him about his own late daughter Nina, who used to teach chess to Ruhi, the daughter of Welfare Minister Yazaad Qureshi(Manav Kaul). Nina mysteriously slipped down the stairs at Qureshi’s house, dying on the spot. The Pandit is convinced this was not an accident but the police believe Qureshi’s version of how Nina died. Daanish finds out that Qureshi and his daughter were the lone survivors of a terrorist attack on their village in Kashmir, after which Qureshi became a poster-boy for peace and a political force. Intrigued, Daanish goes to meet Qureshi, but meets senior Delhi police officers at Qureshi’s office, who threaten Daanish with arrest if he troubles the minister. Daanish then tries to meet Ruhana at their house, but she refuses to let him in. He then goes to the Pandit’s house and they play vodka-fuelled chess, during which Daanish finally beats the Pandit. The Pandit then meets Ruhana and tells her she should help his class of children complete a dance-drama that Nina wrote, for Noorie’s sake. Daanish goes to meet Qureshi’s daughter Ruhi at her school and goes through her sketchbook, in which there is a sketch of Nina. He asks Ruhi about where she was when Nina died, but Ruhi’s minder takes her away.
Ruhana meets Daanish at the drama’s rehearsal and the Pandit tells her how Daanish had almost committed suicide and hoow over their lives.
