A remake of the 1982 film Shaukeen directed by Basu Chatterjee and starring Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt, A. K. Hangal, Rati Agnihotri, and Mithun Chakraborty, the film stars Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor, Piyush Mishra, and Lisa Haydon in the lead roles, while Akshay Kumar is a fictionalized version of himself in an extended cameo.

Ashok "Lali" Lalwani (Anupam Kher) is not happy with his wife (Rati Agnihotri), who is a staunch believer of God and doesn't spend time with him.

Kamaldheer "KD" Sharma (Annu Kapoor) is a bachelor for some unknown reason, while Harishankar "Pinky" Goyal (Piyush Mishra) is secretly in love with a young Chinese woman, who only knows English but he himself being uneducated, is unable to express his feelings.

However, her Facebook obsession reaches heights and Ahana decides to commit suicide, but is interrupted when she sees her idol, Rajiv Bhatia a.k.a.

This time, Akshay visits just when the three men are about to leave, and asks them to forgive him and meets Ahana to apologise to her.

Akshay tells Ahana that to rectify his mistake, he has kept a conference, and that he intends to correct their public image.

He tells the media in the press conference that he is working in a film Alcoholic, and what he did earlier was a promotional strategy and Lali, KD and Pinky are his uncles and know him from past.

But Akshay finds himself even more frustrated, when he isn't able to get a good shot from Ahana, although he somehow manages to shoot the title track.
