Rahul is an unemployed graduate who is looking for a job and is in love with Anjali (Twinkle Khanna) the daughter of his landlord Dakshina Murthi. Murthi makes a condition to let Anjali marry Rahul, if he finds a job in one month and pay all his rents that are overdue . If not, he would make anjali marry someone else who has a good job. This prompts hopeless and vulnerable Rahul and his room partner Harry to get into fake kidnapping skim.

The plan rides successfully, and Chopra believes every bit of it. Rahul and Harry demand Rs.1 crores as the ransom money, and the fooled Chopra agrees to pay. As the ransom money has been paid, Rahul and Harry set Sapna free and leave her in a forest, which is also part of Prakash's plan.
