Plot[edit]
Sameer "Sam" (Tusshar Kapoor), Pankaj "Pakya" (Sharman Joshi), Gautam "Goti" (Kunal Khemu) and Martand "Maru" (Rajpal Yadav) are roommates in Pune they are bound together by their ambition to make it big in life with the least effort possible. Each one tries his hand at finding a shortcut to success but ends up being in even deeper trouble. Things get worse when the four decide to take some desperate measures to end their misery once and for all. They take loans from Martand’s maternal uncle (Tiku Talsania) at very high interest so he always beats up Martand.
They believe that the only way to get rich without working hard is to marry a wealthy girl. As luck would have it, a rich girl Ritu (Tanushree Dutta) arrives in their neighborhood with her grandparents. All four set out with their individual plans to marry her but end up discovering a shocking truth. Ritu came to the city to find about her brother Rahul's killers.
All four of them try to impress Ritu but meanwhile, they discover that Rahul died along with his friend Jaishankar "Jai" Yadav. They try hard and finally Pankaj is decided to marry Ritu. Soon before marriage, Ritu finds the secret that Rahul and Jai were in contact with a notorious gang leader Zikomo Singh (Murali Sharma). Also, Ritu finds that the four were bluffing all time just to impress her and so she starts avoiding them. One day Zikomo Singh finds them and kidnaps Ritu and her grandparents. He reveals himself to be the true killer and he confesses about killing Rahul and Jai. He asks for them to hand over a drum if they wanted to see him alive, but Ritu's family members do not know about any drum. A fight ensues and Zikomo Singh is killed in a self-explosion in the end. Ritu hands over the drum and the four of them find it filled with money, realizing that Zikomo Singh was after the money and not the drum. They run behind Ritu's car after she leaves, as the film ends.
