Plot
In 1993, during a gang war in which the police force and politicians were involved, 3 heinous murders were committed by Khoka, a teenage drug-addicted gang leader, in
During his investigation, no possible motive or evidence is found of Khoka committing the crime. Abhijit, with the help of Surjo, retrieves the archived news footages and finds that a person named Gora, was allegedly present in all the previous murder scenes. Gora, who has now changed his name to Jimmy, runs a restaurant at China Town. Abhijit confronts him, only for Jimmy denying his involvement and also does not recall Khoka. Meanwhile, another murder of a police informer takes place in the same manner. Meanwhile Abhijit and Amrita reconciled earlier after marriage counseling, but their happiness was tinged with the high number of tragedies, which followed one after another. Rajat is trapped and murdered by Khoka in the same fashion, which drives his girlfriend, Ankita, insane. Abhijit, disoriented, gains control of his rage, captures Jimmy, and forces him to call Khoka at the old, burnt down mill in ChinaTown, for the final showdown.
During the face-off, it is revealed that Khoka is actually Paltan, the then boyfriend of Khoka's, who was impersonating him all this time. It is also revealed that Abhijit is none other than Khoka, who was taken into custody in 1993 and tortured by Pranab, which led to his
It is finally revealed that Abhijit had actually regained his memory after suffering from temporary amnesia, but never disclosed it to his adopted family. He pounced on the opportunity to clean his slate and became a police officer. Abhijit visits a fast food stall, which he used to frequent before 1993, as Khoka, and orders his favourite dishes, which he used to enjoy then. He then takes out a 1 rupee coin, which he collected from Paltan's body, which was actually given to Paltan by Abhijit's adoptive mother, when she mistakenly thought of Paltan as a beggar. He tosses the coin up in the air and smiles.
