Paying Guests is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language comedy drama film starring Ashish Chaudhary, Shreyas Talpade, Javed Jaffrey, Vatsal Seth, Celina Jaitly, Neha Dhupia, Riya Sen, Sayali Bhagat and Johnny Lever.

[3] Three friends—Bhavesh (Shreyas Talpade), Parag (Javed Jaffrey), and Pariksheet (Ashish Chaudhary)—live in Pattaya as paying guests in a house owned by Kiska Miglani (Asrani).

Ballu has a younger brother, Ronnie (Chunky Pandey), who wants ownership of the restaurant because he owes a considerable amount of money to a gangster, Murli (Inder Kumar).

Parag is a screenwriter for a television channel, and Parikshit is a car salesman working for Aarti Gupta (Neha Dhupia).

The three friends are later joined by Jayesh (Vatsal Seth) from Mumbai, who is a cousin of Parikshit's, and tells them that an apartment is included if he gets a job at an architecture firm.

In the meantime, Paintel has agreed that Parag can marry Seema, Aarti has fallen for Parikshit, Kalpana has chosen Bhavesh as her life partner, and Jayesh has reconciled with Alpita.
