The film is an ensemble romantic comedy of errors and mistaken identities and debts to be repaid.
Jeetu (Shahid Kapur) is a small town hustler who is constantly in debt and dodging creditors and moneylenders. His father and his fiance Pooja (Sushma Reddy) are made to suffer the consequences of his instability and his debts. Jeetu feels that he is not worthy of Pooja and encourages her to marry someone else, which she doesn't agree to.
Jeetu tries jumping into the sea, trying to drown himself so that his family gets to claim his life insurance and pay off some of his debts. But he is found entangled in fishing nets by a pair of fishermen Bandya (Paresh Rawal) and Gundya (Rajpal Yadav) who take him home with them.
One of the fishermen, Gundya, owes money to Prabhat Singh Chauhan, a Gujrati businessman. On discovering Jeetu caught like a mermaid in their nets, they read a note in Jeetu's pocket that leads them to assume that he is a millionaire and they hatch a scheme to give Jeetu's services to Prabhat Singh Chauhan (Om Puri) in exchange for the money that they owe!
Jeetu, sensing he may reveal too much, plays safe and pretends to be a deaf-mute and plays along with them. Complications ensue when Chauhan's niece Shruti (Kareena Kapoor) also turns out to be a mute but not deaf.
