Synopsis
The year is 2031. In a New India - of towering smart holograms and drone superhighways - hard boiled Cyber Crime detective Saajan Kundu is called out of retirement when a self-driving taxi is hacked and ordered to kill an anonymous human victim. Saajan begrudgingly joins forces with estranged partner Laxmi Suri, a whip-smart AI scientist, to comb the modern backwaters of Goa for the killer. Their search ultimately brings them face to face with a distinctly unusual suspect - a genial government-funded advanced robot called Ajeeb. While investigating Ajeeb, however, Saajan and Laxmi find themselves grappling with conflicting questions. Is Ajeeb even capable of harming anyone? If one artificial intelligence manipulates another into committing a crime, who is really to blame? Could a human being be the real mastermind? And most importantly, if AI is the final frontier of evolution, will they do to us what we’ve done to other species?
