When Iraq invades Kuwait, wealthy businessman Ranjit Katyal watches the life he built collapse overnight. Used to influence and distance from the Indian workers around him, he is suddenly trapped in a war zone with tens of thousands of fellow citizens who need food, transport, documents, and a way out. As panic spreads and official help stalls, Ranjit begins organizing a massive evacuation, bargaining with soldiers, dealing with shifting authorities, and trying to hold families together under constant threat. Akshay Kumar centers the story as a man forced into responsibility, while Nimrat Kaur appears as his wife, caught in the same escalating danger at home.
