Johny (Sanjay Dutt) and Jimmy (Saif Ali Khan) are small-time crooks who dream of becoming rich. They in jail, where they regularly end for their misdeeds. A hotel manager, Ballu (Shakti Kapoor), embezzles his company's 300,000,000 rupees. Johny and Jimmy come to know about it and plan to blackmail him. They join the hotel as waiters and are waiting for the perfect opportunity. But a terrible mobster trio (Mukesh Rishi, Aashif Sheikh and Shiva Rindani) kill Ballu. When Johny and Jimmy find Ballu dead, they take his body and present him as alive. They keep doing it until they find the real culprit. Johnny meets Ballu's niece, Puja (Bipasha Basu), and Jimmy meets her friend (Kim Sharma). They all fall in love, and once they find the real culprit, corpse and a map to direct the money, they all go on a chase to find the money, with the three mobsters after them also heading for the money. They arrive, only to find the mobsters have already been there and taken the money. They reach the mobsters' hideouts and take the money. The three then come to meet Jimmy and Johny, and since they do not give them the money, the three kidnap Puja. Jimmy and Johny go to rescue her, by giving the money to the mobsters. There is a brawl and, eventually, the police enters. The three mobsters are arrested, Johny and Puja marry, as are Jimmy and Puja's friend, and live a happy and clean life with her uncle's money.
The BBC wrote a scathing review of the film, describing it as a "farce from beginning to end".[2] Taran Adarsh called it a "poor show all the way".[3]
