Plot

The film is about two friends who stay by the stranded road "Bypass" and a corrupt police officer. The two friends frequently mug and ultimately kill the people who travel by the road. Amit Kumar starts the film by showing a couple traveling by the road, and then Nawazuddin Siddiqui stops the car by throwing a rock. The two friends then steal money and graphically kill the pair. Irrfan Khan's role as a corrupt police officer is established when he takes a watch by cutting the wrist of a dead man, then rapes a lady and tries to kill the two muggers for the money they had.[2] The director represents the thrill of "Bypass" through violence and aggression.
