- Mili Naudiyal is a B.Sc Nursing graduate and attends IELTS coaching classes intended for a job abroad. She works part-time at a restaurant named Doon's Kitchen, located within a plush mall. She lives with her father Niranjan Naudiyal, who does not like her going to Canada and has disagreements with Mili. Unknown to Niranjan, Mili has a boyfriend Sameer Kumar, who is in search of a job.
One night, while Sameer is riding Mili to her home, they are stopped by police who penalize him for not wearing a helmet and drunken driving, they both are brought to the police station. Niranjan is summoned to the station and is in dismay at seeing his daughter and does not talk to her despite her several attempts of creating conversation. The next night after work at Doon's Kitchen, Mili's manager Sudheer Malkoti unknowingly locks her in the freezer room. At -18 °C, Mili has to survive in the freezing cold and tries everything to keep herself alive. She tries to block the exhaust fan but ended up dislocating her leg. She starts to get frostbite and bleeding through her nose.
Niranjan starts getting worried that Mili has not reached home. He searches for Mili with the help of his neighbor. They call all her co-workers but they all say they do not know anything. Sameer, who was on his way to Delhi half-heartedly, returns and also joins the investigation. They go to the police station to file a complaint but they are greeted by an SI Satish Rawat, whom they met the day before. He suspects Sameer. Niranjan tries to defend him and this causes a feud between Rawat and the search party. He deliberately tries not to help them by not sharing the last tower location of Mili he got from Cyber cell. They get a clue that Mili might have had a problem with the auto drivers in front of the mall. They all reach there to enquire. The auto driver whom they suspect denies the allegation.
At this point, they meet a watchman at the mall who says that Mili might not have left the mall because he usually notices her going in and out. They open the freezer after five hours and find Mili. She is taken to the hospital just before she had the last stage of hypothermia. Then Niranjan enquires with the watchman about how was he sure Mili did not leave the mall. The watchman says Mili smiles at him every time she comes in and out of the mall. He did not see her go out on the day of her missing. Mili reunites with her father and Sameer. The doctor says that she is out of danger and she needs physiotherapy later. He continues that it's difficult for any common man or woman to survive that cold weather and Mili is a brave girl. Meanwhile, Malkhoti is warned by a police officer that he must install an alarm in the freezer or else he will face consequences. When the watchman asks Niranjan what his daughter's name is, Niranjan proudly replies, "Mili".
