Story
Aisha Verma (Shraddha Kapoor) calls her husband, panicking, as there is a mysterious man trying to kill her. Her husband is unable to reach in time and the killer murders her with a screwdriver and tosses her out of the window. At her funeral, CBI officer Aditya (Shaad Randhawa) points out that it is vital to track down the murderer or else Guru Divekar (Sidharth Malhotra), Aisha's husband, will go on a killing spree.
Guru's past is shown in flashbacks. He used to be a ruthless hitman working for mob boss Caeser (Remo Fernandes), who raised and trained him so that Guru could have a chance to murder the goons who killed his parents. Guru is arrested for killing a young man, Debu, but gets bailed, as Debu's mother, a witness, refuses to testify against him. She warns Guru that she did not testify because one day, God will make him pay for his crimes and he will also lose a loved one.
Guru meets Aisha, an optimistic girl dying from a terminal illness. He decides to help her complete her bucket list before she dies. They fall in love and get married. Guru leaves behind his old life and gets a job while Aisha receives treatment in Mumbai and recovers. She discovers she is pregnant and decides to tell Guru in person as he is returning from his interview, but is murdered before she can. In a parallel story, Rakesh Mahadkar (Riteish Deshmukh) is an unsuccessful and henpecked man who is constantly ridiculed by his wife Sulochana (Aamna Sharif) for his shortcomings, though he still loves her. He vents out his frustration by murdering other women who speak rudely to him like his wife, and Aisha turns out to be one of them.

In present day, Guru finally hunts down Rakesh and brutally beats him, then admits him to a hospital and pays for the expenses, intending to return and keep beating him. At the hospital, Guru learns that Aisha was pregnant, which breaks him even more. While assaulting a nurse, Rakesh is again intercepted by Guru, who kills him, then revives him with an intracardiac injection and sets him free. Meanwhile, the police finds out about Rakesh and take his wife for questioning. Rakesh realizes that Guru is Aisha's husband and is taking revenge.
Rakesh taunts Guru over the phone before killing Aisha's father. He expects Guru to kill him so that he'll become a "hero" in the eyes of his wife and everyone else while Guru will become the "villain". However, Caesar calls Guru and says that he has killed Rakesh's wife but left his little son for Guru to kill. Enraged, Rakesh fights Guru but is run over by a car and dies before he can kill him. Guru adopts Rakesh's son instead of killing him and completes the remaining wishes on Aisha's bucket list.
