Jeetu (Shahid Kapur) is a small town hustler who is constantly in debt and
dodging creditors and moneylenders. His father Jayved Prasad, a respectable
retired school teacher and his fiancée Pooja (Sushma Reddy) are made to suffer
the consequences of his instability and his debts. Everyone including Pooja's
father Mohan tells Jeetu, that it would be better if he were to kill himself as
he keeps getting his family into trouble. He doesn't feel that he is worthy of
Pooja and encourages her to marry someone else, which she doesn't agree to.
Jeetu then jumps into the sea trying to drown himself so that his family gets to
claim his life insurance and pay off some of his debts. Jeetu is found entangled
in fishing nets by a pair of fishermen Bandya (Paresh Rawal) and Gundya (Rajpal
Yadav) who take him home with them. One of the fishermen, Gundya, owes money to
Prabhat Singh Chauhan, a Gujrati businessman. On discovering Jeetu caught like a
mermaid in their nets, they read a note in Jeetus pocket that leads them to
assume that he is a millionaire and they hatch a scheme to give Jeetu's services
to Prabhat Singh Chauhan (Om Puri) in exchange for the money that they owe.
Jeetu, sensing he may reveal too much, plays safe and pretends to be a deaf-mute
and plays along with them. Complications ensue when Chauhan's niece Shruti (Kareena
Kapoor) also turns out to be a mute but not deaf. Her over protective elder
brother, Mangal Singh Chauhan (Suniel Shetty), is trying to get her married but
the engagement is called off, leaving her in disgrace. Jeetu's secret is
revealed one night when Shruti and her cousin Meenakshi (Neha Dhupia) discover
him drunk and singing. They agree to keep his secret in return he agrees to play
a part in getting a greedy bridegroom to cancel his marriage to Shruti. For this
he has to pretend to be Shruti's lover.
Meenakshi comes to realize that Jeetu owes people a lot of money. Jeetu appears
to her as a person who could do anything for money. In the interim, Meenakshi's
uncle Prabhat Singh Chauhan is involved in an accident while carrying a lot of
cash and Jeetu was with him all the while. Meenakshi tells the police of her
suspicions about Jeetu and the police beat him up. Later Prabhat Singh comes
home saying that it was Jeetu who had actually save his life by taking him to
the hospital at the right time. The girls change their opinion of Jeetu after
seeing this behavior and Shruti confesses her love for him.
Mangal Singh Chauhan, Shruti's brother comes to know of the romance. In fear of
Shruti's honor, he forces Jeetu to consent to marrying her. Meanwhile, Bandya
has returned from Jeetu's village, after visiting his uncle there and giving him
the suitcase full of money arranged by Meenakshi and Shruti. Bandya asks after
Pooja and is told that she is at her husband's house. Jeetu is told this news
and concedes to the marriage with Shruti. But life again takes an unexpected
turn for Jeetu.
