The film begins with a wildlife photographer, Farhan Qureshi ([[R. Madhavan]]), boarding an airplane from [[Delhi]] when he receives a phone call from Chatur Ramalingam ([[Omi Vaidya]]), his biggest rival from college, who claims to be knowing the whereabouts of his long-lost college friend, Ranchhoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad ([[Aamir Khan]]), also known as Rancho. Shocked at learning this, Farhan immediately fakes a heart attack to create an emergency landing of his flight and is rushed back to the airport in a wheelchair. However, Farhan later manages to escape from the airport in a taxi and meets with another college friend, Raju Rastogi ([[Sharman Joshi]]). Subsequently, the duo races to their former college campus, the Imperial College of Engineering (ICE), and meets up with Chatur, who reminds them both of the bet he had made with Rancho 10 years ago, about who would end up more successful in the next 10 years, and boasts to them both about him being the prosperous vice president of a reputable company in the United States. Frustrated, Farhan and Raju berate Chatur for his action when Chatur reveals that he has located Rancho's home in [[Shimla]] and the three of them begin their journey from Delhi in search of Rancho.

Over a flashback 10 years prior, it is shown that both Farhan and Raju joined the prestigious ICE in their first year of college. The duo soon befriends their roommate, Rancho, who comes from a wealthy family and is passionate about experimenting with different scientific theories. Rancho's carefree approach to education always results in him being at odds with the director of the ICE, Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe ([[Boman Irani]]), who believes in a strict and competitive education system and is nicknamed "Virus" by the ICE students. When a senior student named Joy Lobo ([[Ali Fazal]]) is denied graduation by Virus on grounds of failure to follow his project deadline, Rancho recreates Joy's project of a drone camera with the help of Farhan and Raju in an attempt to cheer him up. Unfortunately, Joy commits suicide by hanging in his room before he can see the drone camera come to life, provoking Rancho to confront Virus about the extreme pressure placed on the ICE students but is rudely rebuffed. One night, the hungry trio gatecrashes a marriage ceremony to enjoy the dinner and befriends Virus' younger daughter, Pia ([[Kareena Kapoor]]), only to later realise that the marriage is for Pia's older sister, Mona ([[Mona Singh]]). Although initially upset by Rancho's behaviour, Pia falls in love with him after Rancho pranks her shallow, materialistic boyfriend, Suhas Tandon (Sanjay Lafont), in an attempt to demonstrate his obsession about money and status. As a result, Pia breaks up with Suhas after he rebukes her for wearing an antique watch which belonged to her late mother.
