Sameer (Tusshar Kapoor), Pankaj (Sharman Joshi), Gautam (Kunal Khemu) and Martand (Rajpal Yadav) are bound together by their ambition to make it big in life with the least effort possible. Each one tries his hand at finding a short cut to success but ends up being in even deeper trouble. Things get worse when the four decide to take some desperate measures to end their misery once and for all. They take loan from Martand’s maternal uncle (Tiku Talsania) at very high interest so he always hits Martand.
They try to impress their grandparents, but are unable. As Gautam tries to impress her grandmother(Farida Dadi) and Martand tries to impress Dadaji (Om Puri). But there plan fails.
They believe that the only way to get rich without working hard is to marry a wealthy girl. As luck would have it, a rich girl Ritu (Tanushree Dutta) arrives in their neighborhood. All four set out with their individual plans to marry her but end up discovering a shocking truth. Ritu came to the city to find about her brother's killers.
All four of them try to impress Ritu but meanwhile, they discover that Ritu's brother died along with another friend of Ritu's brother. They try hard and finally Pankaj is decided to marry Ritu. Soon before marriage, Ritu finds the secret that her brother and his friend were in contact of a notorious gang leader Zikomo (Murali Sharma). Also, Ritu finds that these four were bluffing all time just to impress her and so she starts avoiding them. One day Zikomo finds them and kidnaps Ritu and her family members. He reveals himself to be the true killer and he confesses about killing Rahul and Jay. He asks for them to hand over a drum if they wanted to see him alive, but Ritu's family members do not know about any drum. A fight ensues and Zikomo is killed in a self-explosion in the end. Ritu hands over the drum and the four of them find it filled with money, realizing that Zikomo was after the money and not the drum. They take the money and the film ends.
