It`s the journey of a young widow, who is forced to re-examine her priorities, make some hard decisions and find herself.

Life in the 1990`s was remarkably different for the average Indian. Consumerism had not set in. It was devoid of most of the luxuries of the West. In fact everything ``imported`` was good, and everything Indian, pass. Badmaash Company is an extraordinary story set in the 1990`s in middle class Bombay (as it was known then), of four ordinary youngsters Karan (Shahid Kapoor), Bulbul (Anushka Sharma), Chandu (Vir Das) and Zing (Meiyang Chang) who came together to start an import business of things longed for by yuppie Indians! What made their venture such a stupendous success was the fact that they found a way to beat the system and soon became the undisputed kings in their business, realising their one dream of making quick money by doing all the wrong things - the right way!

At a bowling alley, where a group of friends are awaiting the arrival of Salim. Meanwhile, Deepak arrives with his fiance Sheetal. When a conversation about love arises (Sheetal was reading a fictional novel on love and believes that such idealist love does not exist in the real world), Deepak and the rest find it necessary to make Sheetal aware that true love does exist. They tell her the story of Raj (Shahrukh Khan) and Priya (Rani Mukerji), two of their closest friends. Raj Mathur is the owner of Raj Transport, a small trucking company he founded himself. Raj is a carefree man who is unorganized, messy, lazy and late all the time. Raj is forgetful, misses appointments, cannot keep track of his commitments to his customers, and pretends to them that he has a very sophisticated and high-technology intensive operation, in reality his business is managed by his uneducated employees. Although he isn't the richest, he's always happy. On the other hand, Priya Chopra is a successful fashion designer whose family is quite wealthy. Priya, originally from Greece, lives with her aunt Anna (Lilette Dubey), who wants to give her the best in life (wealth and success). Priya has her life all planned out, the complete opposite of Raj. These two completely different people meet in a car accident, when Priya crashes her car into Raj's truck. It was clearly Priya's fault, even then she blames Raj for the accident. Unfortunately, she does not apply the parking brake on her car while arguing with Raj, and it rolls and falls into a ditch. Raj has to tow Priya's car to the next garage. Though the two get off to a rocky start, they meet again at the wedding of Salim and Farah (Meghna Malik), eventually becoming friends. Priya apologizes to Raj for her misbehavior and for assuming that Raj is a truck driver on the basis of his clothes. The two arrange to meet again and slowly fall in love. Raj takes Priya on a truck ride with him and together they explore the rural India, something that Priya had never experienced in her sterile urban life. Raj receives Priya's phone number but carelessly loses it when he gives his shirt for laundry (and the piece of paper with the number on it was inside the shirt pocket). He then sets out to find her and find her. Raj lives with his uncle Manubhai Marfatiya (Satish Shah) and Aunt Savita (Jayshree T.). Raj cannot ask Farah as she is on her honeymoon. Raj goes to the traffic intersection (close her to home) where he dropped Priya and Priya gave her number to Raj across the road. He asks the traffic cop and all the nearby shops if they remember the number. Eventually Raj starts singing, gathers a huge crowd, causes a traffic jam and finally finds Priya who was also stuck in the traffic jam. Raj tells Priya that he has been searching for her for 20 days. However, Raj learns that Priya is engaged to Sameer (Jas Arora). Priya says that she likes Raj, but her engagement was fixed in the last week, when her father called with a proposal. Priya is marrying her childhood friend Sameer, whom she knows very well. Desperate, he follows Priya to Greece, where he continues to woo her. Raj promises Priya that he will wake her up daily with a song and put her to bed with a lullaby. Priya and Raj are on the same flight, and reach Greece, but their connecting flight to Athens is delayed by 8 hours, giving them time together in the city. When it's time to part company, Priya realizes that she is in love with Raj. They get married after persuading Priya's parents (Father Kishore (Rajeev Verma)), and arrive in Mumbai, where Raj welcomes Priya into their home. He then makes an oath to his holy talisman, wishing it to protect Priya if he is not around, because he loves her immensely. Back to the bowling alley in the present: Sheetal is in tears, for she has never heard a more beautiful story. Salim arrives along with Farah and announce that today was Raj and Priya's first wedding anniversary, so they were planning a surprise party. Excited, Sheetal can't wait to meet the famous Raj and Priya, but when they do arrive, they're nothing like what they seemed. A year has changed both Raj and Priya, and the two can't stop arguing. When they do find some common ground and happiness, it doesn't last long. Raj feels the pressure to meet the expectations of Priya's family and is struggling financially. His company has gone bankrupt, and he has many bills and loans to pay. When he is insulted by a bank official, he returns home crying. Priya cannot stand to see her husband in this state, and resorts to asking her former fiance for money. When Raj asks her about the source of money, she lies. But when he throws a celebration party, he learns the truth. Angry at Priya, he becomes destructive, and Priya, heartbroken, runs away to her parents. Raj, realizing his error, goes after Priya, only to be insulted by her family. Priya decides to leave India because she can't stay with Raj but can't stay without him. When Raj is informed of this, he races to the airport to stop Priya, just as he did the year before. He says he will change and that he has a dream of the two of them starting a family together. Although Priya expresses that she has the same dream, she feels it is impossible for them to be together, so she boards the plane. Giving up, Raj remembers his oath and sends his talisman to Priya. When Priya receives the talisman, she too recalls Raj's confession. Raj returns home to find Priya waiting for him. She says that the only way to make their dream come true is to be together. In a playful manner, the two get into another argument but they say that this is how they express their love.
