The film stars Tara Deshpande and Nirmal Pandey, with the entire plot taking place over a single night.

Plot An advertising executive, Aditya has a beautiful wife, Pooja and a beautiful mistress, Malvika. This secret affair is the catalyst for much of the plot. Adi gets into a scuffle with a bunch of gangsters led by Ramanbhai,. To add to the tension, Ramanbhai is under duress because his colleague, Vilas Pandey is after his life.
A small-scale gang war erupts in the city: A police Inspector Patankar is changing sides faster than a chameleon, a rival gang lord Prafulla Kalia is offering deals and — in the middle of all this — Aditya finds himself stuck. A fast-paced sequence of events happen in the span of one single night.

Critical reception In a retrospective review, Ronjita Kulkarni of Rediff.com wrote, "At a time when the supporting cast was relegated to the background, Sudhir Mishra has done just the opposite. Iss Raat Ki Subah Nahin would not have worked so well without its brilliant actors."https://rediff.com/movies/special/must-watch-film-iss-raat-ki-subah-nahin/20210113.htm
