Synopsis

Laxmi 1 (Tushar Kapoor) lives a poor man's lifestyle in Mumbai with his widowed mother Kanta, who wants him to be a gangster and would like him to kill people, make money, then marry Chota Khujli's daughter, Meena Khujli. To fulfill his mother's wish, he accepts a contract to kill D'Mello Yadav (Mukesh Tiwari), a Pondi-based gangster who has stolen a diamond.

Laxmi 2 (Sunil Shetty), is the detailed and obedient Secretary of D.M. Pipat. He wants him to buy a vintage car from a Pondi-based used car dealer, Laila (Sameera Reddy).

Laxmi 3 (Paresh Rawal) sells undergarments and runs a business, 'Bulbul Lingerie,' with his son, Sonu; he travels to Pondi to meet with his new supplier, Jiya (Esha Deol).

The trio book hotel rooms next to each other in Blue Diamond Hotel. Their respective lives are hilariously turned upside down when their names cause all three to end up in the wrong places. They are also hiding from Inspector Mayawati Chautala (Neetu Chandra), who also has a crush on Laxmi 2.
