Plot[]
The film opens with two cousins – Heena (Asin Thottumkal) and Bobby (Jacqueline Fernandez), the daughters of two opposing families who hate each other very much – start quarreling over something relating to their duties of Animals' Law Authority. Their fathers, Chintu (Rishi Kapoor) and Dabboo (Randhir Kapoor), are half-brothers who hate each other to the very core. Even their wives hate each other. Chintu wants the richest son-in-law for his daughter, Heena, while Dabboo too wants the same for his daughter, Bobby. Aakhri Pasta (Chunky Panday), a marriage counsellor, is ordered by both Chintu and Dabboo to find the best son-in-law. Aakhri Pasta brings Mr. Babani (Veerendra Saxena) to discuss Babani's son Jai.
When Chintu misinterprets one of Aakhri's comments, who says that Jai looks neither like his mum or dad and may be an illegitimate child. Mr. and Mrs. Babani did not hear Aakhri's comments and Chintu verbally abuses Babani while shouting. Babani suffers from a condition that affects his heart when he hears loud noises. Due to Chintu's shouting, Babani suffers a heart attack, landing him in a hospital. Babani's son Jai (Shreyas Talpade) comes to know of this and gets angry, then vows revenge, telling his friend Jolly/Jwala (Ritesh Deshmukh), who is the son of billionaire JD (Mithun Chakraborty), to go to Chintu, agree to marry his daughter and then break off the wedding at the last minute. Jolly is busy trying to introduce his girlfriend J-Lo (Zareen Khan) to his own father and does not want to get involved. He suggests Max (John Abraham), their former college mate and a pick-pocket, to do the job. Jai goes with Max as his driver but somehow, they end in the wrong house and go to Dabboo's instead of Chintu's.
Jai and Max later find out their mistake. Jai, still wanting revenge, doesn't know what to do and Jolly/Jwala suggests another former sleazy college mate, Sunil a. k. a. Sunny (Akshay Kumar). Jolly/Jwala goes with Sunny as his bodyguard because Max and Sunny are sworn enemies and as Dabboo's house and Chintu's house are right next to each other, their plan may get destroyed. Sunny and Jolly/Jwala encounter a crocodile and Max and Jai encounter a snake that each Heena and Bobby have as their respective pets. They manage to survive the attacks.
While Heena and Bobby are on a cruise, they accidentally end up on an island. Max and Sunny become friends again, when Sunny tells him the truth about his college girlfriend who forced herself on Sunny and pretended that Sunny was touching her incorrectly. While Heena and Bobby become friends too as Bobby helps Heena remove a thorn that pricked her back, They find a resort and go home. Dabboo gets Jolly (Max/John Abraham) engaged to Bobby and Chintu gets Jolly (Sunny/Akshay Kumar) engaged to Heena. On the day of the engagement, Chintu blindfolds Jolly, Sunny, and Heena and takes them to J.D.'s house. After seeing the real Jolly holding Sunny's garland, JD believes that Jolly got engaged to Heena. Luckily, Sunny convinces him. Jolly calls them at midnight and reveals his father's secret of being Jagga Dacoit. He also reveals that his real name is Jwala. After Sunny fools Chintu, Chintu calls Dabboo in excitement and tells him that his daughter, Heena, is marrying Jolly, the son of JD Confused, and believing Max to be Jolly, Dabboo takes Max and Bobby to JD's mansion. Sunny handles the situation well by fooling JD and taking the name of Goddess Bhadrakali as he is her true devotee. He tells him that Max is Jolly's friend and Bobby is Max's fiancée (though actually, it is true) and Max's father is against his and Bobby's marriage. JD then welcomes Bobby, Max, and her family to his house and tells them to stay there 'til Bobby and Max's marriage.
Batuk Patel (Boman Irani) arrives with his daughter Parul (Shazahn Padamsee), worsening the situation. Jai and Jolly/Jwala come to receive them from the airport. But when they see Parul, Jai and Jolly/Jwala lie that Jai is Jolly. Parul becomes happy hearing this as they secretly love each other.) J-Lo gives Jolly/Jwala the ultimatum — take me to your house or forget me. To help Jolly/Jwala, Sunny lies to J.D., saying that J-Lo is his fiancée, and JD again agrees to let her live there as Sunny takes the name of Goddess Bhadrakali. Sunny and Max lie to their respective fathers-in-law that the other guy is the son of J.D. and a maid servant in the mansion, creating much confusion.
When Sunny's father as well as Max's 'Guru' tells them never to break anyone's heart, Sunny and Max tell the truth to Heena and Bobby. Enraged, Bobby and Heena slap Max and Sunny respectively and tell them that they never want to see their faces again. But thinking that instead of telling the truth, Sunny and Max could have done more wrong with them, the two sisters forgive the two boys on the very next day. There Jai and Jolly also let off their plan of revenge on the Kapoor's through Jai's father's advice. Then Heena proposes to Sunny in Sunny's style and Bobby proposes to Max in Max's style.
On the day of the four couples' marriage, J.D. and the other brides' fathers learn the truth about the grooms and that they have been lying so far. Finally, Bobby and Heena convince their fathers to forget their enmity and live together as blood brothers. Chintu and Dabboo join hands and so do their wives. But J.D. was not convinced by them telling the truth, so he turns back into Jagga Dacoit and starts frightening the families with his gun. He tries to shoot Sunny with his gun as Sunny runs towards J.D. to save him from the falling chandelier and then he understands what was happening. In the end, all the grooms marry their respective girlfriends.
