[edit] Synopsis

This is the story of cute boy-next-door Karan (Shahid Kapoor) and the ravishing and beautiful Tanya (Rimi Sen). Karan is in love with Tanya but is too shy to tell her. One day Tanya witnesses the murder of a scientist (Om Puri) by his evil twin brother, the underworld don Mehboob, and needs to flee the country. When Karan's friend coaxes him to track Tanya after she migrates to Dubai, he enlists the aid of a deceptively handsome investigator, Rocky (Akshay Kumar) to chase her down.

Rocky ends up falling in love with her at first sight and tries to stop Karan from wooing her. Meanwhile, Tanya's physically disabled friend, Sanju (Sunil Shetty) also has a soft spot for her and tries thwarting Rocky's attempts at getting close to Tanya. The plot thickens when yet another unexpected party falls in love with Tanya, thus setting up a hilarious love hexagon where Tanya is surrounded by Karan, Rocky, Sanju, Tommy, Sunny, and a blind man, with a gaggle of con men and a lovelorn flame-wannabe following her around like panting puppies. Not only that but the don Mehboob and his gang are on Tanya's trail too, as they want her dead for the murder she witnessed and the secret information she has of an age-reducing formula.
