Plot[edit]
Set in Mumbai, the film starts with Raj Chopra (Paresh Rawal), a good-for-nothing movie director who's recent films, have all failed at the box office. He gets threatened by his landlord and creditors that if he does not pay them on time, he will be homeless. While chartered accountant Anand (Kunal Khemu) tries to cheer up his girlfriend Neha (Soha Ali Khan) on her birthday. Neha is a wannabe actress whom Anand takes to a 5-star restaurant for her birthday. Raj meets Ratan (Asrani) at the restaurant. Ratan is the manager of famous Bollywood actor Aryan Kapoor (Sonu Sood), and Raj has come to see Ratan to sign a movie deal with Aryan.
Raj and Ratan buy as much food as they can, and put the bill on Anand, who cannot pay and is sent to jail. When he comes out, Anand is eager for revenge, and sees Raj shoplifting. Raj goes over to Aryan and Ratan, and right when he gets the movie contract papers out, an Inspector Avtar Gill shows up and arrests Raj for shoplifting, which was recorded by Anand. Raj escapes from jail only to get attacked, he is saved by Anand. Anand and Raj come up with a movie plan together, to put money towards a film and ensure it is a flop. They collect a lot of money and pretend to be rich and wealthy men to show off in front of Aryan, who signs the papers, and gets in the movie. Anand and Raj try to make the movie as bad as they can to get their share on money, but they don't know that each of them has a different plan.
They borrow all’s borrow money from a well known gangster to finance the movie. They use Neha for the actress role, because Anand knows that with Neha in the film it will definitely be a flop. While the movie is filming, they contact Asharraff (Johnny Lever) to be the writer, who mixes up Sholay, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Gadar, and Lagaan (in that order). At the premier, the film is declared as a "hit" and the assassins get ready to kill them both. When Raj is about to escape with the money, he finds that Anand has already looted all the money. Both on the run, meet each other while looking for a hiding place, and both decide there is no better place to hide than Jail itself. The two run in jail for making a fraud film and looting money. Once they come out of jail, the two embrace in friendship, and Neha Anand reunite and everyone decides to make another film.
