Plot
Rocky is a man who lives in Mumbai with his parents. Rocky's weakness is his very short-tempered and unruly behaviour. He often gets into fights against injustice. One day he gets into a fight with a man who works for a criminal named Anthony and beats him up. Anthony warns him not to cross paths with him. One day, while Rocky is with his girlfriend Neha, he sends Anthony's brother to the hospital. When Anthony finds out, he confronts Rocky and Neha, kills Neha, and mocks Rocky. An angered Rocky loses control of himself, making his family turn him away. Anthony threatens Rocky's family to leave Mumbai. The family, along with Rocky, eventually moves to London. There he tries to forget his past life. His father lied to him that Anthony had been sentenced to death by the court. Three months later, Rocky's friend, Vikram Singh, visits to inform them of the progress of the criminal prosecution of Anthony. There Priya, a tour guide and Rocky's friend, is harassed by some people. When she shouted to Rocky for help, he, unlike before, took a conservative path and walked away. Vikram tells Priya the truth about Rocky. The way he was living, why he's always quiet. Thereby, Vikram tells him that Anthony has escaped the trial by killing both the eyewitnesses. On hearing this, Rocky felt shattered and wanted revenge. Later on, Rocky travels back to India, along with his parents. Anthony learns that Rocky has returned to Mumbai. He then pays a visit to his home, where he encounters Rocky's father. His father tells him to meet Rocky at the same spot where he had killed Neha several months ago. A fight ensues between Rocky and Anthony. At the end, though severely injured, Rocky is about to kill Anthony, but Neha's soul stops him from doing so.
