Synopsis:
Raqeeb is a musical thriller - a roller
coaster ride that hurtles from one
twist to the next at breakneck speed.
The story has many themes that are
so different and yet so closely linked
that they overlap each other. These
themes are like shadows where the
viewer is never quite sure where one
shadow ends and the next begins. Seduction
leads to love, love becomes betrayal,
betrayal is motivated by passion,
passion leads to obsession and to
crime, and this crime reveals another
betrayal which again is motivated
by love.
The protagonist, Remo Mathews, is
a computer whiz kid and the owner
of a highly successful software company.
Remo's parents had died in a car crash
when he was still a child. Siddharth
is his employee and probably, only
friend. Sidharth is the extroverted
playboy, and is the exact opposite
of Remo who is shy, introverted and
asthmatic. Sidharth constantly pesters
Remo to socialize so that he can meet
a few girls and fall in love with
one of them. Remo seems to be averse
to the whole idea until, one day,
Sidharth plays a prank and sets Remo
up for a blind date. Remo meets the
girl and after the initial hilarious
misunderstanding falls in love with
her.
The girl is Sofie, a theatre actress
who is high on life. Love blossoms
and all is going smoothly until Remo
and Sofie discover that her parents
died in the same car crash in which
Remo's parents had been killed. Sofie
realizes that Remo's parents were
responsible for the death of her parents.
Remo doesn't know how to deal with
this tragic discovery. Sidharth persuades
him to propose to Sofie. Remo proposes
and after the initial hesitation,
Sofie accepts. Remo and Sofie get
married. Thereafter, the story takes
an unexpected twist with the introduction
of Sunny. Sunny is a struggling actor
who was in love with Sofie. But Sofie
had always wanted a luxurious life
which Sunny was unable to provide.
Hence, Sofie married Remo. When they
meet again, the old love is rekindled.
Thus begins a torrid affair between
them.
Finally, tired of having to meet
secretly and only occasionally, they
plan to kill Remo. The plan is to
hide Remo's Asthma medicine and then
aggravate his asthma so as to trigger
an asthma attack. Once the asthma
attack occurs, Sunny has to pretend
to shoot Remo with fake bullets so
as to aggravate his condition further
eventually leading to death. The post
mortem will reveal that Remo died
of natural causes and hence, no one
will be suspected of any foul play.
The D-day arrives and Sunny comes
to Remo's house to execute the plan.
But there is another twist in the
tale. Sofie double crosses Sunny as
well and he is arrested and accused
of Remo's murder.
Why does Sofie double cross Sunny?
Is there more to her than what meets
the eye? Does she really love anyone?
Does Sidharth find out the truth about
Sofie? Is Sunny able to clear his
name? And...is Remo really dead or
has he pulled off a Houdini act? All
these questions are answered as the
story breathlessly races to its nail
biting, chilling climax!
