Professor Mathur meet's a young adult Numair Qazi (Anurag Sinha) who informs him that he is a victim of communal riots in Gujarat. Hiding the truth is that he is a suicide bomber of an Islamic fundamentalist group and is ordered to set off a bomb near Red Fort on 15 August celebration.

Numair manages to get refuge in the Professor’s house and succeeds in winning the trust of the couple. While assisting Numair to get an employment entry pass for the 15th of August celebrations at Red Fort, Professor Mathur introduces him to a variety of people living in harmony in Chandni Chowk regardless of faith.

Numai remains focused on his goals.

During his stay with the Professor, Numair gets caught up in a tight spot as to whether he should carry out the orders of his superiors or not. Although he himself is a deep rooted fundamentalist, he sees this area as colourful and loving. There is no Black and White. Nonetheless, he goes forward to accomplish his mission.

What is worrying young Numair? What are the sacrifices of the Professor and his wife for him? What will eventually happen on Independence Day?
