Plot

Veer Kapoor (Fardeen Khan) is a struggling artist who hopes to make it big someday with his rock group, but at present, he is tottering financially. His only source of income is a monthly pocket money of Rs 100,000 from his wealthy elder stepbrother Dharam Kapoor (Sanjay Dutt), for which Veer has told a lie about him being married to Vidya (Mugdha Godse), his girlfriend. His best friend is Prem Chopra (Ajay Devgn), who is married to Jhanvi Chopra (Bipasha Basu). Jhanvi runs a broken-down gymnasium owned by Prem's family, and Prem spends his time mechanically modifying cars.

Veer and Prem need Rs. 500,000 to register Prem's car for an illegal race (if they win, they will get Rs. 5,000,000). They borrow the money from a local mute loan shark, Tobu (Johnny Lever), after showing him a car designed by Prem, which Prem assures him he cannot lose. Impressed by this vehicle, Tobu, in addition to lending Prem and Veer 500,000, invested 500,000 of his own on Prem. Prem loses the race and ends up owing a sum of Rs. 1,000,000 to Tobu, which should be paid within a week.

Prem decides to rent out Veer's bungalow to a local slum dweller, RGV—Raghuvandas Goverdhandas Vakawale (Sanjay Mishra), who has won a lottery, and collects an advance of Rs 250,000. However, everything gets into a muddle when Dharam is stranded at the Goa Airport on his way to Lesotho and insists on catching up with his younger brother. Things get worse when their new tenant arrives and is beaten up by Dharam. In order to save the situation, Prem and Veer both lie that Raghu is mad and vice versa.

Vidya had a fight with Veer and is temporarily not talking to him. After Veer brings Dharam home from the airport, Dharam sees Jhanvi and takes her for Vidya, and later, when he sees Vidya, Prem and Veer tell him she is Jhanvi, Prem's girlfriend. Jhanvi pretends to be Vidya, Veer's wife, and Vidya pretends to be Jhanvi. Both the young men aren't happy as Veer's brother's flight to Lesotho got delayed by a few days. Dharam decides to stay with his brother until further notice.

Prem sees Dharam's watch, a Rolex, and decides to finish their debt to Tobu by giving him the Rolex. Dharam occasionally flirts with Jhanvi (Vidya), which irks Prem. In a similar way, Prem pays off the debt now by giving Tobu Dharam's royal gift for the king that turns out to be pickles for the princess. Immediately after Prem comes back home, a frantic Jhanvi becomes unconscious and is rushed to the hospital by Prem. This is seen by Dharam, and he follows them to the hospital and slaps Prem for taking Jhanvi. The doctor informs Prem that Jhanvi is pregnant.

Veer feels extremely guilty now because his brother thinks that Vidya and him are having a baby. Veer decides that he will tell Dharam the truth, but before that, Dharam reveals that his flight to Lesotho has been booked. Before Dharam leaves, Tobu and his men barge into the house, and Dharam finds out the truth. The house is soon surrounded by thugs from Lesotho, who turn out to be the king's men. It is later revealed that Dharam and the princess had an affair, and now the princess is pregnant. The king's men want Dharam and the princess to get married. They accept, and it's a happy ending.
