	The film begins with Dr. Aamir Ali returning to Mumbai on vacation. Upon arrival at the airport, an unknown person hands him a cellphone. The caller asks him to follow instructions. Though initially reluctant, he finds himself chasing after a taxi driver working for the caller. With his luggage gone inside the taxi, Aamir is handed over the phone again.

Though initially reluctant, he finds himself chasing after a taxi driver working for the caller. With his luggage gone inside the taxi, Aamir is handed over the phone again. He sees a video in the phone and realizes that his family has been kidnapped. Not sure what to do, he hesitantly agrees to follow the instructions when told that his family will be released if he does so.

	The instructor asks Aamir Ali to think of Islam and wants him to do something for his religion rather than work and live in a foreign country. He is then made to go a hotel, where he is given an address. From there, he goes to a [[public call office\|PCO]] and calls an anonymous number from Karachi, following which a suspecting cop chases after him. Escaping, he is told to stay in a lodge, where a lame man asks him to follow him. Aamir is then led to a house where he is given a red briefcase. Initially thinking the briefcase is a bomb, he opens it and finds that it is full of money. From the lodge, he is asked to catch a particular bus at a designated time.

Initially thinking the briefcase is a bomb, he opens it and finds that it is full of money. From the lodge, he is asked to catch a particular bus at a designated time.

	He leaves to catch the bus, but is beaten up on the way and has the briefcase stolen. In order to retrieve it, he enlists the help of a prostitute whom he met at the lodge. After finding the place, he fights off the robbers and takes the briefcase. He then hurries to catch the bus while talking to the caller. Once inside the bus, he is told to put the briefcase underneath his seat and leave. Aamir now realises that his briefcase has been switched. Instead of money, they have put a bomb inside it. He alights from the bus, but looking at a young passenger innocently waving at him, decides to return. Looking at the traffic signal countdown, he rushes through the crowded bus and retrieves the briefcase. He then runs towards a work in progress area and clears it by alerting the workers. Realizing this is the end, he holds on to the briefcase tightly. Having heard about this through his henchmen, the caller calls Aamir, who smiles and refuses to answer. As the countdown reaches zero ~~mark~~, the bomb explodes, killing Aamir. The caller is devastated to learn of his plan's failure. Media reporters cover the blast, believing Aamir to be a suicide bomber who "backed out in the last minute out of fear".

==Production==
''Aamir'' was released on 6 June alongside the [[Ram Gopal Varma]]-directed ''[[Sarkar Raj]]''. Shot on a budget of {{INRConvert|20|m}}, it is a thriller set in the streets of [[Mumbai]]. ''Aamir'' is also the debut film of its lead actor, cinematographer, music director and the producer UTV Spotboy. The tagline of the film is "Kaun Kehta Hai Aadmi Apni Kismat Khud Likhta Hai?" ("Who says a man writes his own destiny?")

Regarding allegations that the film was copied from the 2005 Filipino film ''[[Cavite (film)|Cavite]]'', Gupta explained he did not watch it, and that it took him a year to write ''Aamir'', which would not have happened if it was copied. He further mentioned contacting the makers of ''Cavite'' to clarify that the script of ''Aamir'' was written before theirs was released. The makers Neill Dela Llana and Ian Gamazon, who wished Gupta luck and explained how ''Cavite'' itself was alleged to be inspired by the American films ''[[Phone Booth (film)|Phone Booth]]'' and ''[[Cellular (film)|Cellular]]'', were thanked by makers of ''Aamir'' in the film's prelude.<ref name=Cavite>{{Cite web |date=24 June 2008 |title=Box office wisdom doesn't work |url=https://www.financialexpress.com/archive/bbox-office-wisdom-doesnt-workb/326839/ |access-date=24 June 2008 |website=[[The Financial Express (India)|Financial Express]]}}</ref>
