Siddharth/Sidhu (Abhishek Bachchan) comes to New Delhi to further his studies and stays with his sister Esha (Ayesha Jhulka) from Allahabad. Siddharth is forced to stay with Esha by his parents, but he doesn't like his brother-in-law Rajeev (Mukesh Rishi). It was an arranged marriage and the youngsters in the house didn't like an unimpressive Rajeev as a suitable match for Esha. Rajeev is a simple, bespectacled man and Esha is extremely beautiful. During their first meeting, Rajeev had heard Sidhu complain to his father that Rajeev is not a good match for Esha. Yet, Esha is happy with Rajeev and has never been given the opportunity to complain about anything. When Siddharth gets to Delhi, the unsaid tension continues between him and Rajeev. Rajeev gives his scooter to Siddharth for conveyance. Rajeev does say much to Sidhu as he is concerned that Sidhu will be offended. Sidhu refuses the scooter and says that he will take the bus. Siddharth's spoiled friend Ganesh (Vijay Raaz) trails behind him and arrives in Delhi later, after Ganesh was kicked out of the house by his father Ram Prasad Shastri (Aanjjan Srivastav) for being a total and useless bum. Ram Prasad laments that Ganesh was notorious from kindergarten through to college, and even now could not hold on to a job. Ganesh says that he is not interested in becoming a bookkeeper for Rs 20/day, as the job can be done by a simple calculator. Siddharth, through perceived destiny and chance, runs into Jhanvi (Bhumika Chawla) on a DTC bus. Siddharth falls in love with Jhanvi, who belongs to a conservative Haryanvi family. Sidhu and Jhanvi keep running into each other at different spots in the city, but Jhanvi manages to hide from Sidhu, leaving him confused. Eventually Sidhu figures out the route that Jhanvi takes to her college and waits for her. Jhanvi's elder brother Ganpat (Mahesh Manjrekar) is a head of the family who is very protective of his family, mainly his sister, after the loss of their parents. Ganpat has already cut the hand of a Romeo who dared to follow Jhanvi and gave her a love letter. He is very critical of inter cast marriages and metes out the same treatment to other boys who fall in love with girls of his community. Only Ganpat's uncle (Goga Kapoor) is able to control his limitless rage. Initially, Jhanvi brushes off Siddharth's constant attempts to be with her (in the bus, in the temple, at the bookstore or at the mall) in order to keep him safe from Ganpat. An encounter with the thugs (Ganpat sensed that some boy was harassing Jhanvi at college and send his goons) leads Jhanvi to encourage Siddharth to run. Sidhu instead rises to the challenge and fights off all the thugs when they attack him the next time around. Jhanvi warns Sidhu that he has made an enemy out of her brother Ganpat and tells Sidhu to return to Allahabad. Ganpat issues instructions to kill Siddharth, but he is up for the challenge and inflicts severe injuries on the goons who attack him. Siddharth and Jhanvi keep meeting with each other, hiding and running from Jhanvi's brother and his men, while Siddharth fights off any thugs that follow him and threaten to hurt him or his family. While Ganpat goes to threaten Esha and her husband Rajeev (Mukesh Rishi), Siddharth threatens him back viciously as he was one step ahead of him and planned to retaliate (though falsely) by killing Ganpat's family, excluding Jhanvi. Rajeev eventually sees Siddharth with Jhanvi and understands the entire matter. Ganpat's uncle tells Ganpat that they cannot afford another mistake against Sidhu as then people would stop fearing them. He tells Ganpat to bide his time and strike at the right moment. Jhanvi overhears this conversation and is ecstatic that someone forced his brother to take a step back, as this has never happened before. Till now Ganpat felt that Siddharth was chasing Jhanvi, but one of his men sees them together and Ganpat realizes that Jhanvi also loves Siddharth. Eventually, Ganpat decides to use his thugs to beat up a boy who was giving Siddharth a hard time in school, thus giving the impression to the principal of the school that Siddharth is a thug. Siddharth is suspended in return. Then they hit Esha with a van and frame her husband for him to lose his job all at the same time. Siddharth and Jhanvi agree they should elope and get married before she gets married off. Meanwhile, Ganesh constantly gets himself conned (his suitcase is stolen a few minutes after he arrives in Delhi and Sidhu's address and telephone number were in the suitcase) and goes through various harsh realities about life. In the end, Ganesh loses all his money, his watch, his clothes, and a kidney in his hope to meet his friend Siddharth. One day, Ganesh runs into Sidhu who was in a bus. But the bus drove away while Ganesh was describing his struggles to Sidhu. All his experiences end in the form of making Ganesh accidentally a "Petticoat Baba" (he was drafted into a porn movie without his will and had to escape in a petticoat when the police arrived), a saint who is believed by the people (not by Ganesh) to be living in the Himalayas for 300 years. In the climax, Siddharth hatches a plan to bait Ganpat and his men to the wrong area and marry Jhanvi with her remaining family members (Ganpat's wife (Shweta Menon)) who care for her and Siddharth. Ganpat gets wind of this plan (he sees them at a railway crossing) and tracks them down. The newlyweds now have to run from a mass number of thugs. This leads to a final battle which ends with a one-on-one fight with Siddharth and Ganpat. Siddharth wins and refuses to deal Ganpat the death blow, allowing him to live. Ganpat allows Jhanvi and Siddharth to leave, finally accepting Siddharth as his brother in-law. Siddharth and Jhanvi leave married.
