Niyati has been lovingly brought up in an orphanage by a kind warden and his caring wife. She has been a top student throughout her life and passes her 10th exams with flying colours, prompting the topmost school in India to offer her a full scholarship for the next two years. She becomes the top student there too, her only competition being another student from the underprivileged class, Aakash, who too has been granted the same scholarship. Their joy comes full circle when the principal of the school, informs them that the school has chosen them to sit in the prestigious Oxford University entrance test, which will help them gain a full scholarship if selected.
Niyati makes friends with Chhavi, who is affluent but weak in studies. Chhavi asks her to help out during the exams, and Niyati, at first does it out of friendship and later starts doing it for the money. But she doesn't keep the money for herself, and rather sends donations for her orphanage. There is a worldwide entrance exam, on the basis of which students can gain admission into a top college abroad. The rich kids pay an obnoxious amount of money to both Niyati and Aakash to help them crack it. The two brilliant students utilize their genius to come up with the perfect plan to achieve that goal. However, Both are in danger of losing their innocence. Whether they stay true to the right path or lose themselves in the blind pursuit of money, forms the crux of the film.

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Alizeh is Farrey's brightest point, by far. She plays a big part and gives it credit. Sahil Mehta, Prasanna Bisht, and Zeyn Shaw, the other three young performers in the ensemble, have somewhat less nuanced roles to portray, but they nonetheless give the movie a steady energy." Tushar Joshi of India Today This ensemble of young stars aces the thrill mark sheet". Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost labelled the film "Alizeh Agnihotri, Salman Khan's niece, debuts with assurance in a gripping thriller." Alaka Sahani of The Indian Express gave 3 stars out of 5 and praised Agnihotri's performance and said "it is Agnihotri, whose intelligence as well as ambition is at the centre of Farrey, holds the story together and keeps her character relatable. She also deftly portrays Niyati’s transitions at different stages of the movie." Prannay Pathak of Hindustan Times said "Alizeh Agnihotri, Salman Khan's niece, makes a strong cinematic debut in Soumendra Padhi's latest feature". Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint gave 3 stars out of 5 and said "Alizeh stands out from the rest of the cast, in part because her character is the most developed and in part because of her on-screen persona, which helps the audience identify with the character."
