Plot

Roy Kapoor (Abhishek Bachchan) is a conman, information that his girlfriend Simran ‘Simi’ Ahuja (Priyanka Chopra) is not privy to. On the day of their engagement, however, Roy’s true character is exposed and Simi leaves him. Consequently, Roy starts drinking heavily.

Five years in the future… Roy meets Aditya ‘Dittu’ Srivastav (Ritesh Deshmukh) and Jassi (Sanjay Mishra), amateur conmen who attempt to con him but are unable to do so. They set their sights on a doctor, Dr. Bhalerao (played by Boman Irani) instead. Roy helps Bhalerao after he is conned and Bhalerao feels greatly indebted to him.

One fateful day, Roy drinks too much and starts feeling dizzy. In the middle of the street, he falls, unconscious. He’s saved by Dittu. Dittu begs Roy to teach him (Dittu) all he (Roy) knows about the art of conning. Roy reluctantly agrees and the two start their escapades, conning everyone from a family to a “gang” who possesses black money. Roy and Dittu decide to visit a club, where Roy starts feeling dizzy again. He again falls unconscious. Dittu then takes him to hospital. Roy learns (via a CAT scan done by Dr. Bhalerao) that he has a brain tumor and will die within three months.

Simi, meanwhile, is working as a restaurant manager and is again engaged to be married to a man whom she doesn’t love. Roy tries to tell her that he has a brain tumor. She eventually believes him – after meeting with the doctor – and they rekindle their friendship.

Movie-goers then learn that Dittu’s father and many others have been duped of their life savings by a man called Chandru (Nana Patekar). He’s the main reason that Dittu became a conman in the first place. Roy decides that, before he dies, he’ll help Dittu con Chandru of his stolen wealth. However, while planning the ultimate fraud, Roy’s cancer enters its final stages.
