Storyline of Gumraah:

In the first scene of Gumraah, a man breaking into a house while wearing a yellow hoodie causes the resident to flee in terror. Only briefly do they fight before he murders the man. The murderer is seen deleting any remaining evidence before fleeing. The next morning, Akash Sardana is identified as the victim. Shivani Mathur, a young police investigator observant enough to put together what occurred based on clues, is in charge of the investigation. Akash’s sister claimed to the authorities that he had stolen $200,000 from the family bank account, but no such money was discovered.
Later, a neighbour claims that the murderer was discovered in one of his selfies. Dhiren Yadav, an ACP high-ranking police official, recognizes Arjun Sehgal as the offender and is relieved to have the opportunity to exact revenge. He asks Shivani to start by examining Arjun’s past from the viewpoint of the murder. Arjun is eventually taken into custody by the police, who also give him proof. The ACP is happy that the probe might finally end when he offers a tenuous alibi.
But a constable detains a man named Sooraj for driving while intoxicated and disruptive behaviour who remarkably resembles Arjun. Assuring him that there is no chance of success in court and that they will receive bail without incident, ACP speaks to his lawyer friend. Only two days can be purchased by him before they must be submitted in court. The government now has 48 hours to gather evidence. The wounds on Arjun and Sooraj are identical.

In a flashback, the bright engineer Arjun is dating the attractive Janhvi. However, Sooraj is a low-level criminal who, along with his friend Chaddi, lives off of committing scams. Sooraj is a criminal, but his legal knowledge is equal to that of a distinguished lawyer. One of these mob bosses kidnaps Chaddi and holds him captive for 2 million dollars in exchange for the fraud he committed against Chaddi. Sooraj loses his last few dollars in gambling and comes away broke. Arjun and Sooraj are currently shown to be identical twins by the DNA evidence recovered from the crime scene, although police evidence is frequently deceptive. They both start telling their story.

As their parents’ marriage breaks down, their mother turns to gambling for solace, which eventually causes the pair to separate and get divorced. Arjun and Sooraj have different levels of affection for their mothers, but the opposite is also true. The father abducts the children and denies their mother access to them since he is a lawyer. As a result, their mother suffers from depression and commits suicide. They diverge after that and go on different paths.

Due to his criminal history and tenuous alibi, Shivani is certain that Sooraj is the culprit. Shivani is informed by the old constable that ACP is seeking revenge on Arjun since eight years ago, Arjun assisted ACP’s daughter in eloping with her lover. ACP attempted to use all available legal means to bring Arjun to justice, but his daughter testified in Arjun’s favour in court.

As a result, ACP is seeking revenge on Arjun. To give Arjun and Sooraj a strong alibi, Shivani and ACP are currently trying to frame each other by keeping their identities hidden from one another. Even six months later, the court is still unsure of which of them committed the crime, but because of their strong alibi, they are also unable to convict either of them.

Shivani received Janhvi’s missing person case file a few weeks later. Janhvi attended a class reunion right before she vanished, according to research done by Janhvi’s buddy. Later on that day, Janhvi texts her to inform her that she and Arjun had broken up and that she would now marry none other than Akash. She can no longer deny that the crime was perpetrated for monetary gain because she made up Arjun’s alibi.

As mentioned by Arjun, after learning about Janhvi’s communications, Arjun decided to confront Akash. After a brief argument, Arjun forces Akash to reveal the truth regarding his relationship with Janhvi. Akash informs him that although they were dating in college, things didn’t work out.

He tried to talk to him at the reunion, but she resisted. After poisoning her drink, he rapes her in his hotel room. She dies from sexual assault and a drug overdose. Akash then gives the police $2,000,000 to end the investigation. In a fit of wrath, Arjun kills Akash, and then he runs away.

Sooraj revealed to Arjun that he had cleaned up the scene and manufactured evidence to draw the police’s attention away from himself after learning that Arjun had been detained on suspicion of murder. Arjun wouldn’t be found guilty because he hadn’t committed the crime, Sooraj informed him. Sooraj receives the home that Arjun has been residing in since their breakup.
