In the Namib Desert. Mr. A skydives onto a train that is carrying Queen Elizabeth II, where he steals her crown by disguising himself as the Queen, beats her guards and escapes. ACP Jai Dixit and newly promoted SI Ali Akbar Khan are introduced to Shonali Bose, Jai's best friend and a special officer assigned to investigate Mr. A's case. During the initial investigation, Jai analyses the underlying trend in Mr. A's heists and calls him a "perfect thief" getting impressed by the patterns of his heists and concludes that the theft will follow in one of two famous Mumbai city museums. Jai realizes that the artifact in the museum, which he is guarding, happens to be imperfect and rushes to the other museum, where a Mr. A disguised as a statue then an old security staff steals a rare diamond and escapes from the museum.

Mr. A is about to catch a flight, but he sees on the TV that someone else is claiming to be himself and learns that the imposter challenges the cops by saying that they will steal an ancient warrior sword. In response, Jai, Shonali and Khan enforce a strict guard at the location of the sword. Mr. A meets the thief who made the claim on TV in the room that holds the sword. The police are alerted, but Mr. A swiftly manages to steal the sword and escape with the imposter injuring Shonali in the confrontation. The impersonator turns out to be Sunehri Kaur, who idolises Mr. A. Sunehri wants to form an alliance with Mr. A, but he turns her down. After a game of basketball, Mr. A finally agrees to work with Sunehri.

In Rio de Janeiro, Mr. A and Sunehri plan their next heist. As Jai's analysis has named Rio as the location of Mr. A's next heist, Jai and Ali travel there and meet Monali, Shonali's twin sister who falls in a consensual love with Ali. Later, Sunehri meets with Jai to discuss her partnership with Mr. A, revealing that they are working together and Jai has promised Sunehri freedom from prison in exchange. The plan is for Sunehri to get close to Mr. A and find out his next plan so that the police can arrest him, but she begins to have her doubts. Mr. A and Sunehri fall in love with each other, where he unveils his real identity as Aryan Singhania and starts preparing Sunehri with his methods for next heist. During the Rio Carnival, Aryan, disguised as one of the entertainers, sees Sunehri and Jai together and realizes that Sunehri has been working undercover for Jai. Later Aryan spends the night amongst Jai's team and with Sunehri along with revealing himself to Jai and engaging in a cop-thief relationship conversation with him.

The next day, Aryan forces Sunehri to play a game of Russian roulette, though she doesn't want to shoot him. After six attempted shots, neither is killed, because Aryan never loaded the gun. Sunehri admits that she betrayed Aryan and confesses her love for him and they shares a passionate kiss. In their final heist, Aryan and Sunehri steals some early Lydian coins while disguised as performing dwarfs and later as school going kids. With the heist successfully pulled off, Jai realises that he has been betrayed, as Sunehri called him on the phone to reveal that she wants to stay with Aryan and breaks off their deal, forcing Jai and Ali to chase them. After the chase, all of them end up on the top of a waterfall, where Ali catches Sunehri while Aryan and Jai exchange blows at each other. Sunehri, despite conveying her feelings for Aryan, shoots him after he indirectly asks her to kill him by pointing towards Jai that if he had ever loved someone to the extent he would die by his lover's hands for the sake of their love. Aryan falls from the waterfall, after which Jai allows Sunehri to go free as her punishment to stay alone as she can't betray not even herself by staying alone same as once Aryan stated to her.

Six months later, it is revealed that Aryan survived and has opened a restaurant in the Fiji islands with Sunehri and they have happily settled with each other. Jai meets Aryan and Sunehri at the restaurant and states that he does not wish to imprison the couple despite their crimes as the thieves inside them are already dead now and they have started a new life afresh despite them agreeing to surrender themselves. Aryan reveals that all of his robberies artifacts can be found via a digital watch. Jai is aware of the couple's feelings towards each other and releases them with a warning against returning to their life of crime. After leaving, Jai receives a phone call, and informs Ali, who seems to have settled with Monali, that they should be heading back to India for their next case while Aryan and Sunehri are shown to have a happy life through the title track.
