Synopsis

Savini "Savi" Borkar (Taapsee Pannu) is a promising track-and-field athlete whose career is ruined by a knee injury. While recovering from surgery at the hospital, she decides to commit suicide, only to be stopped by Satya (Tahir Raj Bhasin), a small-time, never-do-well crook (he is a gambler and frequently gets caught cheating). Satya is an optimist and has a jest for life, that changes Savi's outlook towards her own life.

They fall in love and begin a relationship, which her father Atul (KC Shankar) disapproves of. Savi dislikes Satya's lack of a steady job and the run-down condition of his apartment, but they always fight and kiss and make-up. She gets a job as a caretaker for an 88 yr old man.One day, Satya is tasked by his boss Victor (Dibyendu Bhattacharya) to deliver a package (implied to be narcotics) to an address and collect Rs 5,000,000 in 80 minutes. Victor gives Satya a gun to shoot himself if something goes wrong.

Satya delivers the package and collects the cash, but decides to gamble it, so he can return Victor's share and keep the winnings for himself. While on his way to a casino, he gets high with a stranger and loses the bag of cash on a bus (Satya left the bag of cash in the bus, as cops chase him around the bus station for smoking pot. When Satya returns to the bus, the stranger had left with the bag of cash). Realizing his life is in danger if he can't return Victor's money, Satya calls Savi in a panic. Savi, who has just found out that she's pregnant, decides to ask her father for the money.

On her way to her father's gym, Savi interacts with Jacob (Sameer Kevin Roy), a cab driver whose girlfriend Julia (Shreya Dhanwanthary) is marrying another man. Jacob refuses to drive Savi, so she vandalizes his cab, attracting the attention of policeman David (Bhupesh Bandekar). Since Savi can't get a cab, she gets into a bus (incidentally the same bus on which the stranger was travelling with the bag of cash)

Savi asks her father for money, but they get into an argument as Atul was her coach and their relationship soured after Savi's injury. Savi blames Atul for dating a man after her mother's death. The two cannot reconcile and Savi leaves empty-handed. David spots her and gives chase but she evades him by hiding at Julia's wedding. Savi exits the wedding and gets into a cab, that again is Jacob's cab. Julia is planning to run from her own wedding and has written a letter to her parents to that effect. Jacob again kicks Savi out of his cab.

Meanwhile, bumbling brothers Appu (Manik Papneja) and Gappu (Raghav Raj Kakker) plan to rob their father Mamlesh's (Rajendra Chawla) jewelry store. Satya arrives at the store with the same idea, and a Mexican standoff ensues. Savi distracts everyone by throwing a brick through a glass window (Satya had called her and told her his plan to rob the store. Savi ran all the way from Julia's wedding to the jewelry store), allowing Satya to escape with the money. However, the brothers catch up to them in an alley, and Mamlesh arrives and shoots and kills Satya.

In a flashback, Satya relates the story of Savitri, who tricked Yama, the god of death, into sparing her husband Satyavan, despite Satyavan being fated to die. The day then resets to Savi finding out that she's pregnant, essentially granting her a second chance at saving Satya.

In the second iteration, Savi takes Satya's call and asks him to stay put and not chase after the bus. As she tries to reach her father's gym, she gets into an altercation with a man, again attracting the attention of David. David chases her into Jacob's cab and forces Jacob to drive at gunpoint, but they crash into the bus containing the cash. Jacob is not able to reach Julia, who was waiting for him to run away with.

Savi, relatively unharmed, steals David's gun and holds her father at gunpoint, but he doesn't have any money. Atul had already given the Rs 50 Lakhs to the drug buyer, who had the papers to the gym, to get the papers released and to pay out the debt.

As she leaves the gym (She calls Satya and lies that she has the money and asks him to meet her in front of the jewelry store), David chases her into Julia's wedding, and she hides in Julia's dressing room. There, Julia rants about the difficult situation she finds herself in, since she wants to marry Jacob. However, Savi advises her to leave Jacob and go through with the wedding, which Jacob overhears. As Julia takes the advice and kisses her husband-to-be, a shocked Jacob falls off the balcony and severely injures himself.

As Satya wanders near the jewelry store, he gets into an argument with the brothers, and they take his gun. When Savi arrives, she tells Satya that they will rob the brothers once the brothers have robbed the shop. This plan works, but Jacob arrives and kills Satya as revenge for Savi ruining his life. The day resets again.

In the third iteration, Savi decides to right her wrongs in order to manipulate events to save Satya. She apologizes to her father and the two reconcile, each agreeing to make an effort to get along with the other's boyfriend. She gets into Jacob's cab and convinces him that he must fight for Julia if he truly loves her. They drive to the wedding, where Savi helps Jacob and Julia elope. She steals a bag containing cash gifts for the wedding, then gambles that money (she bets 8 on the roulette) and wins big, gaining enough cash to pay Victor back. Meanwhile. the brothers create a fake kidnapping situation so they can extract ransom money from their father.

When Satya goes to rob the store, Mamlesh recognizes him as a former customer and hatches a plan with him to fake a robbery to collect insurance money. When the brothers arrive to act out the kidnapping, Mamlesh turns on Satya (to use Satya's share to pay the kidnappers), only to realize that Satya had emptied his gun. As Satya leaves the store with the money, David and the police are responding to the hostage situation but mistake him for a civilian and let him go. Satya meets with Savi, and she reveals she is pregnant; they decide to get married. They deliver Victor's cash, and still have Savi's winnings left over.

As the film ends, Satya notices the stranger on the bus who took his bag and begins chasing after him.
