A darkly comedic, multi-threaded night in Mumbai where mortality, guilt, and moral compromise collide across three interconnected stories.

Unfolding through a course of a night in Mumbai, Kaalakaandi showcases three parallel tracks — a man who discovers he has terminal illness decides to let go of his principles and live a little; a woman involved in a hit-and-run seeks redemption and two goons must decide if they can trust each other.
