About the trailer

The trailer begins with Janhvi's Suhana Bhatia, a graduate of St. Stephen's College and Harvard University, who is now the youngest Deputy High Commissioner of the country. Her colleagues doubt her ability, calling her a product of nepotism who does not deserve to hold that position.

The twist in the tale arrives in the entry of Gulshan Devaiah's character, who seems to be playing an undercover agent. He asks for papers from Janhvi, who asks him whether he thinks that he will be saved. Meanwhile, there are hints that there is an internal leak, and the lives of two government undercover agents are in danger. In the midst of this, Suhana disappears for 24 hours. The trailer ends with her saying that a trap has been set for her and she will not give up without a fight.
