First things first, RAMAN RAGHAV 2.0 is not based on the life of the infamous serial killer of the 60s, something that the makers of the film establish in the very beginning of the film. The film starts off with a 'musically high' introduction of a young IPS officer Raghav (Vicky Kaushal) and a 'deadly' introduction of Ramanna aka Sindhi Dalwaai aka Raman (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). Raghav, who, despite being an IPS officer, is almost always high on drugs; in fact Raghav does not leave a single chance to indulge in substance abuse, even when he is on duty. The film, then, traces its roots with a series of flashback events that establish Raman's character as a serial killer with a history of random and meaningless killings. As the film comes back to the present, Raman gets into confessional mode and says that he kills people because he likes to kill them for no reason. He also goes onto proclaim that he is a 'Godsent gift to mankind', who has been sent by God to kill people after their job is done on earth. What follows from hereon are a series of merciless and inhuman murders. After a gap of 7 years, Raghav visits his sister's place and lands up killing her, her innocent husband and her child. Simultaneously, Raghav also kills his 'girlfriend'. Amidst all this, Raman confesses to Raghav about his 'connection' with him, that really stuns the latter. What was the basic reason for Raman to go to his sister's place, what was the reason for the policeman Raghav to kill an innocent girl and what is the 'connection' that Raman tells Raghav that rattles his senses, is what forms the rest of the film.
