During a cricket tournament in the Middle East, 48 hours prior to the final match between India and Pakistan, India's top cricketer Viraj Sharma (Saqib Saleem) goes missing. Indian authorities get a video tape of an unknown Pakistani Fan, claiming to have abducted Viraj till the India vs Pakistan cricket match two days later and warning them not to cancel the match. To avoid media outrage the Defence Minister of India sends special task force officer Kabir Shergill (John Abraham) to U.A.E for a 36-hour manhunt. Kabir, who is a no-nonsense cop, bumps into a rookie Indo-Emirati police officer Junaid Ansari (Varun Dhawan), who has never been able to solve a case but has a good knowledge of the town which he acquired during his first incomplete case of finding a dog named Bradman.
