Based on a story by Ali and a screenplay by Habib Faisal, the film stars an ensemble cast of Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Bobby Deol, and Lara Dutta in lead roles, with Amitabh Bachchan in a special appearance.

[4] Set in London, the film revolves around two strangers who meet at a train station and concoct elaborate stories about their respective partners, leading to a tangled web of romance and misunderstandings.

At the station, two strangers, Rakesh "Rikki" Thakkral and Alvira Khan, await the arrival of their respective fiancés on the same train.

Rikki, a free-spirited Punjabi from Bathinda, now living in Southall, and Alvira, an upper-class Pakistani from Lahore, more culturally assimilated into British life, begin conversing to pass the time.

Rikki narrates how he met his fiancé, Anaida Raza, at the Hôtel Ritz Paris on the same fateful night that Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed left the hotel for their last journey.

Alvira, meanwhile, shares her story about meeting her fiancé, a dashing lawyer named Steve Singh, at Madame Tussauds, where he saved her from a falling Superman wax figure.

The incident supposedly led to a substantial lawsuit win, leaving Alvira infatuated with Steve.

In an attempt to reconnect, Alvira makes a fake call to Rikki, which leads them to a meeting at a dance competition.

To maintain their ruse, Rikki hires Laila, a prostitute, to pose as his fiancée, while Alvira blackmails her coworker, Satvinder, into pretending to be hers.

Realizing the truth, Rikki rushes to Alvira, and after a brief misunderstanding, they confess their love and begin dating, while Satvinder and Laila head to Hollywood.
