Synopsis[edit]

The film starts with Daksh Mittal (Emraan Hashmi), a charming and continually drunk billionaire. One day, he runs into a girl, Jiya (Dia Mirza) on the street and falls in love at first sight. Jiya is working as a dancer and has a mentally handicapped brother. Daksh and Jiya spend some time with each other and fall in love. Daksh, however, is supposed to marry Anahita Madhwani (Pooja Bharati) in order to inherit a million-dollar trust.

For help, Daksh turns to his butler, John Uncle (Anupam Kher). John Uncle wanted Daksh to end up marrying Jiya. However, John gets very ill and gets admitted to a hospital. The engagement party for Daksh and Anahita is taking place and John Uncle manages to convince Jiya to go to the party.

Daksh and Jiya dance, and meanwhile, John Uncle is dying at the hospital. Daksh decides to honour John Uncle's memory and goes to propose to Jiya – she accepts and after a final clash with the family, Daksh is allowed to marry her and they live happily ever after.
