Plot
Dr. Eby John (Kunchacko Boban) is a successful cardiac surgeon, leading a happy family life with his wife Niya (Mamta Mohandas) and their lovely daughter Achu (Baby Anika). One day Eby is attending a conference in Bengualuru, a lady named Shweta (Gowri Munjal) tells him that her friends have kidnapped his daughter and his wife Niya (Mamta Mohandas) and are holding them captive in their home. It goes without saying that the child's life will be in danger if he fails to meet their demand for Rs 1 crore within twenty four hours. Hence the title, Race denoting 'race against time'.
