[edit] Synopsis
Vimmi Saluja (Rani Mukerji) and Rakesh (Abhishek Bachchan) are two ambitious wannabes from small towns where their dreams are written off as outrageous daydreaming. They run away from their homes then bump into each other and decide to be scam artists in order to raise money to make it in Bombay. Unfortunately for India, they find the lifestyle too exciting to give up. Adopting the fake names of Bunty and Babli, their flamboyant antics make them famous in newspapers nationwide. Soon hijinks lead to romance and they decide to continue scamming the rich as husband and wife.
Little do they know that their shenanigans have caught the fancy of ACP Dashrath Singh {Amitabh Bachchan}. He relentlessly pursues them across India in the hopes of putting them behind bars. To complicate matters, Rakesh and Vimmi have a child, and after a very close call eluding Dashrath they decide to quit conning for their child's sake. Ironically, this decision leads to their capture by Dashrath. While in custody, their heartfelt confessions and conversation soften the detective's heart and he lets them go, certain he has destroyed Bunty and Babli's career as criminals.
Years later, Dashrath rescues them from their mundane and domestic lives to work for the nation thwarting the activities of other scammers.
