When a series of bombs explode in train stations throughout Mumbai, a disparate group of locals are affected in different ways. Thomas (Irrfan Khan), who sells tea, meets Rupali (Soha Ali Khan), a reporter coping with the death of her fiancé. Meanwhile, Suresh (Kay Kay Menon), who is struggling with financial woes, begins to be overly suspect of all Muslims. For Sunil (Vijay Maurya), a policeman working on the case, there is frustration at realizing his corrupt boss is still on the take.
