Plot
[edit]The film is about three bachelors, Aarav (Shreyas Talpade), Nikhil (Muzammil Ibrahim), and Rajveer (Rajeev Khandelwal), who, along with eleven other collegemates, sign a contract with two clauses. The first clause says that all of them have to purchase a certain number of Reliance shares, and the second explains that all the shares will go to the man who will remain unmarried till the end. Slowly and steadily, people start to break away from the rule, and only Nikhil, Rajveer, and Aarav remain single. Nikhil is in love with his childhood friend Anjali (Tripta Prashar) and wants to settle down with her, but the other two have no such plans. However, they find the proceedings interesting after discovering Anjali's best friend Sneha (Mugdha Godse) at the wedding. Suddenly all their plans to remain unmarried till the end vanish, and the two start trying to win Sneha's heart. Meanwhile, one of Rajveer's friends gives him Rs 50 million to keep, but Rajveer, being smart enough, invests the money in the stock market, only to find that the company he invested in has crashed and a powerful business magnate (Paresh Rawal) is after him.
