Plot

Sudama Pandey is a notorious criminal who runs a global operation of capturing women on camera. He operates out of London and is assisted by his two partners in crime.

Be it a honeymoon bedroom, changing rooms, or girls' hostels, none of these places misses the third eye—the eye of a camera. First, they capture girls on film and blackmail them, then abuse them, both physically and mentally.

One girl who gets trapped by them is Sapna, an air hostess. She is a lovely girl who has dreams of making it big in her career. She found the love of her life through her fiancé, Arjun Singh. Sudama installs hidden cameras in her changing room and blackmails her into doing blue films in exchange for the hidden camera footage he took of her. Sudama does nasty things to her but gives her the film afterwards. She is brutally murdered by Sudama's gang not long after.
