Plot summary
Aashika (Singh) wakes up frightened in a hospital and goes into a flashback. A group of friends Prem (Bohra), Jacks (Debroy), Diya (Bajpai) and Vivek (Bhatia) decides to travel to Mumbai to celebrate New Year's Day. While travelling, a patrolling cop halts the car and interrogates them on the account of driving under the influence of alcohol, to which Prem bribes them into letting him and his friends go. The same night they encounter weird situations and a cradle (furniture) to which they avoid. Meanwhile, Prem hits a car accidentally and while figuring out who they hit, they come across a man (Rajiv Anand) who warns them to back off or else they all will be killed. The friends try to take the man to the same cop they met before but they find the cop brutally murdered and thrown away from a car and the man suddenly disappears. The friends sense danger and find a way to get back off the road but the road seems to be endless. Meanwhile, the friends move on and they encounter a girl (Malik) and they offer her lift. The friends assume that she's a mental patient and try to take her to a hospital. However the friends move in the jungle to find the asylum, they leave Jacks in car with the girl. Jacks is murdered too and when the friends turn back to see what is the matter they find Jacks and the girl are missing. After a moment they encounter the same car throwing Jacks' body off the car. After a series of awkward events, Prem and Vivek come out of their car to find out the matter. Vivek and Prem had a verbal argument for Aashika to which they split ways. Vivek finds out an abandoned house where he gets trapped and brutally killed by that girl. Prem, Aashika and Diya are now the only survivors left. Prem orders the girls to stick together as a team but a scared Diya runs away. No sooner, Diya too gets killed and thrown out of car. Scared, Prem and Aashika now run for their lives and Prem ends up in a grave. Prem witnesses his deceased friends' souls and the girl and gets killed. Now back to present, Aashika (in hospital) finds about the girl by a nurse and the girl's name revealed as Poonam. She visits Poonam's house and witnesses Poonam's husband's soul and mother-in-law. She narrates the story that Poonam was eccentric and wanted a child. She argued with her now deceased husband (Rajiv Anand) for child and sooner Poonam's mental condition worsens after her delivery. The doctor advices Poonam's husband that she needs counselling. It is also revealed that the accident by Prem and friends actually crashed Poonam's car and kills herself, her husband and child. Poonam returns as a ghost and swears vengeance upon the friends for murdering her child. Aashika was only saved just because she was pregnant with Prem's child and Poonam didn't hurt her.

Critical reception
Rahul Desai from Mumbai Mirror gave 0.5 out of 5 claiming that film has been made with incompetent direction.[7] Bryan Durham from Daily News and Analysis gave 1 star rating out of 5 and stated "Mumbai 125 KM is a fine example why Indian filmmakers should keep away from thrashing the holy house of horror which is adorned by classics like The Excorcist, The Omen, The Conjuring and many more."[8] Shubha Shetty-Saha from Mid Day gave 0.5 stars out of 5 stating film has unnecessary content and themes.[9] Radio Jockey Jeeturaj from Radio Mirchi gave 3 stars out of 5.[10] In a review written for The Times of India, Renuka Vyavahare deemed Veena Malik's "show-stealer" character the biggest detriment to a film that "as a slasher, gets too monotonous and repetitive... old wine in an old bottle."[11]
