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](/source/Amit_Kumar_(singer)) starts the film by showing a couple traveling by the road, and then [Nawazuddin Siddiqui](/source/Nawazuddin_Siddiqui) stops the car by throwing a rock. The two friends then steal money and graphically kill the pair. [Irrfan Khan](/source/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. However, the dumb mugger attacks the police officer and kills him. The woman is let gone off. What happens next is a suspense itself. <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.studymode.com/essays/Movie-Review-On-The-Short-Film-892061.html|title=Movie Review on the Short Film Bypass - 579 Words &#124; Studymode}}</ref> The director represents the thrill of "Bypass" through violence and aggression.
