Along their way, they encounter a young couple who are supposedly eloping, but are caught on the act.

- Meera (Anushka Sharma) and Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam) are a happy yuppie couple living in Gurgaon. They're going to a friend's party and making loving banter in their car. At the party, Meera gets an urgent work call and has to rush to office. She is attacked by some street punks who smash her Car's window. Meera manages to escape but is mentally shocked by the incident. The local cop suggests to the couple they get a gun which they do, using their police contacts. Meera's birthday is coming up and Arjun suggests a road trip. Meera completes a business presentation, and the couple head out, Arjun presenting Meera with cigarettes as a birthday gift before the actual birthday. They learn from a toll attendant that previous night an attendant was murdered at the same toll, which makes Arjun wonder whether they should continue or not.
They stop at a roadside Dhaba for lunch where Meera has a smoke in the ladies' washroom. A petrified young girl, who had banged into their car earlier, arrives and pleads for help, saying few men outside are about to kill her. Meera shakes her off and goes outside where Arjun is ordering food. As they wait, they see a gang of rustic men round up the girl and a boy, beat them savagely and drag them to a Scorpio Car. Arjun intervenes but Satbir (Darshan Kumar), one of the gangs, hits him and snarls to back off, the girl being his own sister. As the horrified couple watch, the gang drives off.
Despite Meera's pleading, Arjun reaches for their gun, which Meera has put in the luggage, and drives after the gang. Meera begs Arjun to leave the matter alone but suggests scaring them away using the gun. He stops the car near the gang's vehicle on a seemingly obscure desert near highway and tells her to lock the doors and wait while he goes to frighten the villagers. Meera waits until a mentally challenged rustic, Chotte, shows up and wants to drive the car. She asks if he knows where Arjun is and panics when he makes the sign for a gun.
Arjun meanwhile witnesses a brutal 'honor' killing with the young boy beaten to death and the girl Pinky poisoned by her brother, Satbir. Terrified Arjun attempts to flee. Just then, Meera is coming up the path, looking for him. He meets her and tells her they have to get out of there. They are stopped by Chotte, and during the commotion the gang finds them and knocks Arjun out with a rod.
When he comes round, Satbir is checking their pictures on Meera's phone. As the gang digs graves, Satbir shoots a barely alive Pinky dead using their gun. Meanwhile, the couple notice Chotte has their gun on him. They call him to their side quietly and offer him their car keys in exchange for the gun. But a fight ensues and by mistake, Arjun shoots Chotte. The gang is enraged, and the couple literally run for their lives.
At night, the couple suddenly face one of the gang members. In the ensuing struggle, Meera shoots him dead, but he manages to stab Arjun in his leg. The couple limp off, but the remaining gang members spread out looking for them. Meera and Arjun make it to a railway under-bridge where Meera tells injured Arjun to wait till she gets help. Running for miles, she finally finds a police station where a cop is fast asleep. She makes him get up and tells her to help as they have witnessed an honor killing - at the mention of that, the cop refuses to help her and cuts the phone line on which she's talking to his senior officer. The cop throws Meera out of the police station, and she steals his cycle to get back to Arjun.
On the way, the senior police officer meets her in his van and starts driving back to where Arjun is. He asks Meera her caste and figures out that hers is an inter-caste marriage. He tells her democracy ends at the last mall and breaking caste rules is totally forbidden in the village, just as with the case she's witnessed. Meera realizes the cop is in league with her attackers - and they are in the jeep just behind her.
Struggling with the cop, she manages to stab him with a pen and pushes him out of the jeep. She drives off with the gang chasing her. Just as their car gets stuck in mud, Meera's jeep flips over by a collision. She crawls out and reaches a stone quarry. The gang arrives and can't see her until one of them, Mamaji, sees her climbing the rock face. They throw stones to make her fall, but she climbs up and throws stones and hurls abuses back at them. As they get back into their car, Meera stumbles off and finds a migrant laborer's hut on the site. The laborer and his wife protect her when one of the gang arrives, asking if a woman came by. Later, the man says they are outsiders but suggests she go to the village Sarpanch for help.
Meera reaches the village which is deserted as everyone is at a Nautanki. Outside the Nautanki, she meets two children, and one agrees to take her to the Sarpanch - his own grandmother - if she gives him her watch. Ammaji (Deepti Naval) and her Bahu are packing a girl's clothes in a suitcase and cleaning out her cupboard when Meera arrives. She is exhausted and starts telling her story. Ammaji changes the moment she hears of the honor killing and a puzzled Meera looks around to see pillow covers saying 'Pinky'. Amma locks her in the room and the petrified Bahu says this is Pinky's house and she's been punished for trying to escape.
Amma calls her gang back and tells them to silence Meera. They drag her out and beat her in the courtyard, but Meera takes the boy as hostage, and manages to secure keys of their car and lock them inside their home with some help from daughter-in-law. She escapes the village and finds her yellow sweatshirt on the rear seat of their car, which was supposed to be with Arjun. She rushes to the under-bridge where Arjun is - to find he's been murdered, and the gang scribbled abuses against her on the walls. Meera shrieks in grief and rage and returns to the village where she drives the jeep ruthlessly into two gang members, killing them.
She then waits with a rod in her hand till Satbir and Mamaji come driving on a bike, hits them, killing Mamaji on the spot and breaking Satbir's leg. He manages to drag himself up to a short distance while she has a cigarette and watches him. But as he gets up, Meera hits him, killing him - and then stabs him over and over again with the rod.
Ammaji arrives and gasps, seeing the men dead. She says Pinky was her own daughter but broke rules and needed to be punished. Meera echoes her words and leaves the village as dawn breaks.
