Kahaani (2012)

As the vibrant city of Kolkata hums with the euphoria of the annual Durga Puja festival, a seven-month pregnant Vidya Bagchi disembarks from a London flight, stepping into a mystery that engulfs her very existence. Her world spins around her missing husband, Arnab Bagchi, who vanished without a trace after landing in Kolkata for a job assignment. Their daily phone conversations abruptly halted, leaving Vidya grappling with a haunting silence and a mystery that no one seems to remember. In a city teeming with festive fervor, Vidya finds an unlikely ally in a local police officer, Rana. Together, they navigate the labyrinth of deceit, following a breadcrumb trail that leads to the National Data Center (NDC). Here, Vidya discovers that Arnab was supposedly on assignment, but the organization denies any record of his existence. The plot thickens as Arnab's uncanny likeness to a former NDC employee, Milind Damji, is revealed by a human resources officer. However, her life is cut short by a chilling contract killer, Bob Biswas, before she can reveal more. Vidya's relentless quest for truth unravels a complex tapestry of conspiracy linking back to a fatal gas attack on the Kolkata metro two years prior, an attack for which Milind Damji was responsible. With the memory of her husband's face mirroring Damji's, Vidya is thrown into a whirlwind of danger and intrigue. Guided by her unwavering determination, she ventures deeper into the heart of the mystery, edging closer to peril and an explosive revelation. Caught between the crosshairs of an intelligence officer warning her off Damji and a contract killer shadowing her every move, Vidya is undeterred. Her belief in Arnab's innocence fuels her pursuit, leading her down a path fraught with unexpected twists and shocking situations. Amidst the backdrop of Durga Pooja's fervent celebrations, Vidya's search continues, a solitary beacon of hope in a city hiding a dangerous truth.
