==Plot==
Arjun ([[Emraan Hashmi]]) is a street-smart youngster with an obsession for making a quick buck. He has a chance meeting with a girl called Zoya who's looking at an expensive ring inside a glass case. Arjun breaks the glass and retrieves the ring for which he is arrested. Inspector Ajay ([[Sameer Kochhar]]) is amused but lets him go with a warning as he knows Arjun's father. Zoya ([[Sonal Chauhan]]) gives him the reasons he was looking for to move out of his ordinary life and become rich for this girl. He steps up from playing small-time card games to becoming a bookie and strikes gold.

After impressing Zoya with his wealth, he calls his father for lunch in his new house. His father, a simple man who has lived an honest life, is happy to see Arjun's success but is skeptical of his business methods. He has a private talk with Zoya and tells her Arjun was a habitual and a smooth liar Later that day when Zoya questions Arjun, he is offended and blames his father's failure in life for his resentment towards him.

Arjun is whisked off to South Africa where he meets Don Abu Ibrahim * ([[Javed Sheikh]]) and becomes his key match-fixer. Rolling in money and enjoying a fast life with Zoya everything is suddenly interrupted when the South African Police take notice. Inspector Ajay, now an ACP with the CBI is summoned for assisting the investigation and is puzzled to see Arjun with the Don. He contacts Zoya to help trap Arjun after letting her know of the investigation. She speaks to Arjun's father who trusts ACP Ajay and requests Zoya to help him and leave Arjun if she can't get him to change his dishonest ways. Zoya calls Arjun to a restaurant ambush from the cops to make him confess his crimes.

Arjun is sentenced to 5 years imprisonment but Don Abu Ibrahim uses his influence to get him out of prison to use Arjun's skills for the upcoming World Cup. Arjun is released in 6 months and meets ACP Ajay outside who warns him to mend his ways again. Arjun relents and starts working as a bartender. All is good for a while, and Zoya is pregnant until Don Abu Ibrahim visits him one day. Arjun is torn and confused but eventually decides to participate in this last operation so that he has enough money for the future. Zoya overhears him speaking to a bookie and is disgusted. She leaves the house after notifying the cops. Arjun is then chased by ACP Raina and the cops and is shot in the shoulder. He calls Zoya and pleads to meet with her one last time before surrendering. Cornered with Zoya, Arjun surrenders with the cops pointing their gun at him. Arjun notices his ring that fell down from his pocket and bends to retrieve it. The cops, assuming he is going for his gun, shoot and kill Arjun.

A few years later, Zoya and her son are seen shopping in a supermarket. Zoya is unable to pay the full amount as she is short on cash. Her son notices it and discards his toy so she can pay the bill. She realizes that he is not greedy like his father, She hugs her son and smiles as the film ends.

Atta Khan of Planet Bollywood wrote about the soundtrack "In short Jannat has the hallmarks of Pritam at his very best; it is a vibrant, classy, and extremely enjoyable soundtrack that reaches out to the masses and therefore sells itself, just go and soak up its glorious rock-infused sounds and then reflect on why we all love Pritam…talent is a word too easily used in this day and age but he clearly has it in abundance (controversy aside!) and gave an 8/10 rating."

Satyajit from Glamsham noted "The teamwork of Pritam, Sayed Quadri, Neelesh Mishra props up with another remarkable album for Bhatt camp in the form of JANNAT. The album ensures itself to be this year's one of best sellers with tracks like Zara Sa, Judai and Jannat Jahan promising golden results"<ref>{{cite web|title=Jannat: Music Review|url=http://www.glamsham.com/music/reviews/10-jannat-music-review-030810.asp|publisher=Glamsham|access-date=13 June 2010}}</ref> According to the Indian trade website [[Box Office India]], with around 16,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's seventh highest-selling.<ref>{{cite web|title=Music Hits 2000–2009 (Figures in Units)|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=286&catName=MjAwMC0yMDA5|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100624132928/http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=286&catName=MjAwMC0yMDA5|archive-date=24 June 2010|publisher=[[Box Office India]]}}</ref>
