==Plot==
A young Indian couple Raina ([[Kareena Kapoor]]) and Samir ([[Salman Khan]]) meet and fall in love at first sight and decide to get married despite the objections from Samir's parents as Raina is an orphan. However, they begin their lives together move to Melbourne, where Samir works as a stockbroker. Raina decides to work in a restaurant to pass her time.

Their relationship develops problems when Samir's business takes a severe hit. In order to get his career back online, he decides to move to Singapore and start his work from scratch. He surprises her at the airport saying that they are not flying together. She is to go to Delhi and wait for him while he goes to gain success in Singapore, and that the relationship will be a failure without financial support.

Just after Samir catches the plane and leaves for Singapore, Raina has a chance meeting with Aakash ([[Sohail Khan]]) at the airport itself. They strike a rapport immediately, and once he knows of Raina's problems, Aakash lends a helping hand using his friend's ([[Mahek Chahal]]) help. He gets her a much better job at the airport. Now, Raina suddenly finds herself in the midst of a new and trendy airport job and in addition a good mansion to live in. Aakash falls deeply in love with Raina because they work together in close proximity, and Raina also seems to be attracted to him, or at least to depend on him for every small and big matter on a day-to-day basis. At this juncture, Raina is faced with the problem that her residency visa is going to expire and she will have to leave Australia. As usual, she takes her problem to Aakash. He and his friends suggest to her the idea of faking a marriage with Aakash so that she can stay on. Initially, Raina is reluctant, but soon she agrees after she realises that Aakash is a genuinely good-hearted man.

At this juncture, Samir reappears after having achieved success in Singapore. He finds that Raina is not all that thrilled at his surprise visit. He then stumbles upon the court papers concerning the wedding ceremony between Raina and Aakash and is shocked and appalled. However, Samir and Raina decide to give their relationship another chance. Aakash too agrees that Raina must try to resolve her differences with her husband. Later, Aakash finds love in a certain Mrs. Khan ([[Deepika Padukone]]), who coincidentally has the same name as Raina and once had a failed relationship with a person, whose name again coincidentally is Samir.

== Box office ==
The movie had a dismal performance at the box office. It did not open well, and moreover, the word of mouth publicity couldn't help since reactions across the board were negative. It eventually collecting only Rs. 66 million in its first week of domestic theatrical run, and there was hardly any second week collection because the film was taken down by theatre owners. Box office of the movie was highly affected due to clash with two other Diwali release 'Blue' and 'All The Best'.<ref>{{cite web |title=First Week Comparison – Dabangg 2 Vs Main Aurr Mrs Khanna |url=http://www.boxofficeindia.co.in/first-week-comparison-%e2%80%93-dabangg-2-vs-main-aurr-mrs-khanna/ |publisher=boxofficeindia |accessdate=15 March 2014 |date=29 December 2012}}</ref><ref name="boxoffice2009">{{cite web |title=Box Office 2009 |url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=288&catName=MjAwOQ== |website=Boxofficeindia.com |accessdate=13 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131014131907/http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=288&catName=MjAwOQ%3D%3D |archivedate=14 October 2013}}</ref>

However, according to the film-makers, the film was a success on the [[Direct-broadcast satellite|DTH]]/Satellite platform and had a reasonable viewership rating, with an estimated 210 million eyeballs. This claim cannot be independently verified. The satellite rights of the film had been sold three days before its release in theatres.<ref>{{cite web |title=Main Aur Mrs Khanna a super hit on with Rs. 21 crore gross |url=http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/entertainment/main-aur-mrs-khanna-a-super-hit-on-dth-with-rs-21-crore-gross_100276229.html |author=Sampurn Wire |date=17 November 2009 |accessdate=11 June 2011}}</ref>
