Plot
John Day is a bank manager of Royal Citizen Co-operative Bank and lives with his wife Maria Day. The couple has recently lost their only daughter Pearl in a forest fire while she was on a trip with her boyfriend Kanishk. Maria is always depressed and never opens up with anyone. One day when John is away for office work, a courier-boy enters the house and takes Maria as a captive. He then calls up John informing him about his wife is a hostage, and tells him that a man will visit him at his bank and John has to do his work. It is shown that actually, it was a planned bank heist where the visitor gagged John, opened up the cash locker and fled. Meanwhile, the kidnapper hammered Maria causing her a serious brain damage, and she got admitted to the hospital in a state of coma.
The news spread like wildfire in all TV channels. An impatient and short tempered Police Officer, Gautam, is shocked and calls his girlfriend Tabassum to collect a very important document stored in a locker of the bank. Inside the bank, the bank authorities, in the presence of the police, are giving away claims to bank customers, when Tabassum approaches and claims her documents which are revealed to be some property papers called "CASABLANCA ESTATES".

John bribes the office personnel and procures the original Casablanca files, and investigates.
During his investigation, he learns that police Officer Gautam also seeks the files and wants to sell them to a Mafia-based organization in Dubai. Gautam is under pressure from the Mafia to hand over the original documents of "Casablanca Estates". John vows to take revenge on the people who have injured his wife and actually eliminates all the informants, including the kidnapper, the bank robbers and others involved. He then takes Tabassum as a captive and calls Gautam, and another powerful Mafia Khan Saab at Gautam's place, and there, the truth is revealed.
Casablanca estate is nothing but 8000 acres of forest land being acquired illegally on papers by Mafia Lord Khan Saab and Dubai based Al Hunain, along with the help of Police Officer Gautam, who works for Khan. They had acquired the land, registered it with the insurance company and then set fire to the jungle in order to get heavy compensation.

Meanwhile, Gautam has a plan to sell the papers for billions to the Dubai-based AG group and settling with his girlfriend abroad. When Khan is about to shoot Gautam for his treachery, Tabassum opens fire to save him. An ensuing shoot out occurs in the room and results in Tabassum being killed, Khan and his associates, badly wounded and finally, Gautam being shot multiple times by John. John then shoots Khan Saab too. Later he is shown weeping at the graves of his daughter and wife. The film ends with a Biblical quote by Mark "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Mark 8:36".
