Plot

Dr. Dayal Ghungroo lives with his wife and his son-like nephew Rajiv, an auctioneer who is his late sister's son, whom Ghungroo wants to get married, but Ghungroo will only allow Rajiv to marry a into family that doesn't have a criminal history. Meanwhile, a don, Uday Shetty, wants his half-sister, Sanjana, to get married, but all his attempts fail due to his criminal background, and sometimes, due to the revelation by his lawyer. Rajiv is smitten by her after a chance meeting. Uday and his best friend/foster brother, Sagar Pandey, a.k.a. Majnu Bhai, want their marriage to happen. But after learning that they are mobsters, Ghungroo flees to South Africa with his family. Majnu and Sanjana also arrive there for a holiday. She and Rajiv meet again and fall in love.

Uday and Majnu compel Ghungroo to accept the alliance by emotional blackmail and invite their boss, the powerful underworld Don, Ranvir Dhanraj Xaka, a.k.a. RDX, for their engagement. Ghungroo sends his sister-in-law, Ishika, to break the alliance, who succeeds by falsely claiming to be Rajiv's childhood betrothed at the engagement party. Ghungroo reveals that Rajiv's criminal father harassed and tortured Rajiv's mother, who then requested Ghungroo to keep Rajiv away from crime. Ghungroo says he'll agree to their alliance only if Uday and Majnu give up their lives of crime. Rajiv and Sanjana attempt to do this by reawakening Uday's love for acting and encouraging Majnu's passion for painting. They also plant Ishika to pretend to be in love with both brothers. With these things keeping them busy, Uday and Majnu do not have time for crime anymore.

Rajiv's actions anger Lucky, RDX's son, who attacks Rajiv. Sanjana gets hold of the gun and fires a shot that accidentally hits Lucky, which makes him unconscious. RDX is informed that Lucky has died, and he comes to attend the cremation. However, Lucky, who is still alive, escapes while being followed by Rajiv, Uday, Majnu, and their henchmen while trying to show his father that he's alive, but fails and hides inside the cremation area. RDX sets the pile of wood on fire, believing he is cremating his son's body. However, Lucky, who is hiding under the wood, jumps out upon realizing the wood is on fire, revealing the truth to RDX.

Rajiv, Ghunghroo, his wife, Ishika, Sanjana, Uday, Majnu, their henchmen, and Uday's lawyer are captured by RDX and brought to a cabin set next to a cliff. The frightened group is forced to play pass the parcel with a globe — but the one who ends up with the globe must jump off the cliff, with these rules to be followed strictly and mandatorily. When Rajiv refuses to pass the globe to Sanjana, Lucky angrily yanks it out of his hands, just as the music stops. Now that his son has the globe, RDX, known for always keeping his word and following the rules, figures the only way he can maintain his image is by killing everyone. Before he can, government brokers led by Purushottam sneak up and cut the footings of the illegally built cabin, causing the house to start falling over the cliff, with everyone trapped inside. However, the cabin is suspended by only 1 column.

Hilarious chaos ensues as the group tries to balance the cabin together and keep it from falling off the cliff. Amidst this, Majnu tries to free Lucky's head from a vessel with an axe, during which an angry RDX tries to shoot Majnu but misses, causing the bullet to hit a beehive. And the bees started attacked them all As the bees sting everyone, Rajiv finds a rope, and the group uses it to get back onto stable ground. But to everyone's shock, the floor breaks, and Lucky is found hanging on the edge of the cabin. While everyone else is bickering and Rajiv is trying to rescue him, Sanjana reveals the truth to everyone: she was the one who shot Lucky, but Rajiv blamed himself so that Sanjana wouldn't get in trouble. After Rajiv rescues Lucky, the cabin he is standing in falls off the cliff, leading everyone to believe that Rajiv died. However, Rajiv survives the event and is reunited with Sanjana and his family. Lucky and RDX are grateful to Rajiv for saving their lives and tell Rajiv to ask for anything that he wishes for. Rajiv requests that they give up crime, and RDX agrees, allowing Rajiv and Sanjana to finally get married. Uday and Majnu request RDX to get them married to Ishika, only to realize that Ishika had fooled them along with Rajiv as a part of his plan to marry Sanjana. This angers Uday and Majnu, who start to chase Rajiv.
