He then attempts to track down a psychotic killer who targets schoolgirls. Tragedy strikes when the predator abducts and brutally murders his niece leading to many plot-twists in this edge-of-the-seat movie.

Dr. Jayantilal Gada, Producer, PEN Studios said, "I am glad that the movie will premiere on ZEE5 and will reach the audience in 190 countries. Gumnaam is a psychological thriller that will keep you at the edge of your seat. There is a tautness to the storytelling that will keep the audience hooked. From plot twists to the romantic narrative, the movie will take the audience through multiple emotions. This psycho thriller is not just a dubbed version, but also has certain scenes reshot by director Amit Khan to update the story, making the film a thriller which is full-of-twists. Gumnaam is also late singer KK's last film where he has dedicated a beautiful song to all daughters of India."
