Plot

In a small town in Goa the chief of the local police station, Siddharth Mehra is going through a divorce with his wife Sonia whom he still loves, but finds himself involved with a local married woman named Anna Varghese. Unable to cope with the pressures of his wife's success, who is in the special police force, he continues his secret relationship with Anna. But despite his affair with Anna, Siddharth is still in love with Sonia and cannot forget about her.

Things get even more complicated when Siddharth realizes that Anna's husband, Sean, is abusive and Anna is dying from cancer. Being a good soul, Siddharth does not have it in him to abandon this woman, who seems to have given him some affection in recent times.

In the heat of the moment, Siddharth takes an irrational decision to give Anna the money he recovered in a drug raid for her medication in a final effort to save her. Things are not what they seem since Anna dies in a fire that very night. Siddharth now races to uncover a murky trail of drug money, murder, and deceit because all the evidence points to him.

With Sonia heading the case, Siddharth is now in a race against time to find out the real truth behind Anna's murder, recover the drug money, and also win Sonia's love back.

After a bunch of wild goose chases, Siddharth finds out that Anna is alive and was actually controlling Sean and Siddharth in the whole plot to get the insurance money. Siddharth finds this out, and while confronting Anna with the truth, Anna points a gun at him. In the scuffle that follows, Sonia shoots Anna, and she provides the alibi for him, stating that Anna's death was an accident.

Siddharth recovers the lost drug money and reconciles with Sonia.

Jaspreet Pandohar of BBC.com gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing, "Zeher is a good example of how the new generation of contemporary Bollywood films are capable of handling sexual themes in a mature and entertaining manner."[7] Patcy N of Rediff.com wrote that "The film is just about watchable, because of the story in the second half. It's the kind of film that's decent timepass, provided you are watching it at home on television".[8]
