Story: Roy (Abhishek Bachchan) is a professional conman, who has raised his work to the level of an art. The only true thing he has in his life, is his love for Simmi (Priyanka Chopra), someone who is so rooted, honest and sincere, that he can’t bring himself to tell her the reality of who he is. But when his past catches up with him, she cannot forgive him for the deceit their relationship is built on and he loses her forever.

It is around this time that Aditya Srivastav (Ritesh Deshmukh) enters the picture. He is the counterpoint to everything that Roy is - as frantic as Roy is calm, as dumb as Roy is smart, as messy as Roy is smooth. They have only one thing in common - Aditya is a conman too. At least he thinks of himself as one. In Roy’s book, he’s an embarrassment, but one that won’t go away.

Despite himself, Roy agrees to teach Dittu the rules of the game, and in the process, he warms up to the boyish charm of his ’student’. That’s when his world is spun upside down - he is forced to face facts that are a slap in the face. Suddenly, Roy who prides himself on being able to cheat anyone, is pushed into a corner from where there is no exit. (more…)
