. Soon after, a famous Indian singer, HR, is arrested by the German Police Officers after a concert on the charge of murdering the journalist. HR is put behind bars and the incidents begin to unravel as the movie goes into a flashback. While on a concert in Germany, performing with his best friend Shravan, HR meets the event organizer Khurana and his partner Ruby James. He also meets the event planner Riya, and falls in love at first sight. After initial reservations, Riya's father Mr. Bakshi approves of the match. Things take a turn when HR is arrested. He asks Ruby James, a lawyer, to bail him out. But it is revealed that Ruby is in love with HR, while HR loves Riya. He escapes from his prison cell after taking the murdered TV journalist's father Ex-cop Feroz Merchant captive. He has to find the actual murderer in one day or else Riya will be married to someone else. To stop this from happening, he needs Riya's help. He approaches her for help, but Riya ignores him. HR, Shravan, and Bani approach Ruby (on HR's hunch that Ruby is innocent of the murders) for help. They browse through all the Invoices and other Documents at Khurana's Office to find that severe losses on a previously finalized world tour deal gave Khurana the motive to frame HR. HR then proceeds to confront Khurana and after a car chase, he catches up with Khurana, who then confesses to having murdered Nadia and framing HR to ruin his career. After his confession is instantly caught on camera, Khurana is arrested, then HR and Riya reunite.
