Synopsis

To pursue his dream of becoming a singer, Income Tax Officer Bharat Bhushan (Vinay Pathak), decides to compete in "Aao Guess Kare", and dramatically not only wins Rs 25 Lakhs, but also a 3-day luxury cruise. His last 2nd last question was "what percentage of Indian male do not wear underwear". Bhushan answers 84% as he argues that 84% of Indians participated in the Independence struggle and the same one gave up foreign wear for Indian wear, and they are the ones not wearing underwear.The Executive Producer of the show Ranjini asks Bharat Bhushan how he would he utilize the prize money. Bhushan says by producing a music album. Bhushan is really passionate about music, and finds a connection with Ranjini whose grandfather was a famous violin player who performed in many Bollywood songs.

Ajit Talwar (Kay Kay Menon) is a tycoon who is making a business empire using his wife's Naina (Rukhsar Rehman) money & duping some South Asian investors. Ajit Talwar has a broad business brand named Westergare and has recently launched a luxury real estate project. He owns 130 TV channels, which is backed by a production house, animation studios and even CD/DVD manufacturing units. But Naina knows that all of these are just shell companies designed to lure in investors.He is also a pervert, having sex with his own secretary Spanta Patel (Kishwer Merchant) & having eyes on Ranjini (Minissha Lamba).

Ajit is about to host a conference for his investors when he finds that he is about to be raided by IT Department. Ajit's friend Kapoor (Rahul Vohra) is the owner of Aao Guess Kare & wants Ajit to fund the next season. Ajit is also interested in Kapoor's hot wife Raveena (Aditi Gowarikar). Kapoor also senses Ajit's interest in Ranjini & invites him for the cruise. Raveena is the owner of "Aao Guess Kare" and has organized a wrap party for the current season on a cruise ship.

Bhushan is an income tax officer and has a friend, MT Shekharan, who is also an income tax officer. Shekharan calls on Bhushan for an income tax raid. But Bhushan refuses, saying that he is leaving for a holiday on a luxurious cruise. Bhushan had already exhausted all his paid leaves on auditions for the show and hence takes unpaid leaves for his cruise trip.Viru Chacha (Virendra Saxena) is Bhushan's uncle in his colony and asks Bhushan to stay away from foreign girls on his cruise trip.

Ajit decides to shift the investor's meet to the cruise ship and goes on the cruise to avoid the IT raid.Shekharan follows Ajit Talwar to the cruise ship. Dharam Bharti (Rahul Singh) is the manager of the cruise.

So, Bhushan turns up on the cruise & meets everyone, even Naina. Bhushan has a friendly personality but comes across as a bit over-persistent and personal. Ajit's right hand man Ravi (Amit Behl) informs him that there is a tax officer on board the cruise ship.Ajit tries to hit on Ranjini, but his every effort is thwarted by Bhushan, who considers Ranjini to be his only friend on the cruise.

Ajit finds out from Ravi that Bhushan is a tax officer (as Bhushan had written "Tax Office" under profession, on his cruise application form) & thinks that he has been sent undercover so that Ajit can't escape the raid. In fact, Bhushan's colleague MT Shekhar (Suresh Menon) is also on the cruise as a waiter to capture Ajit.Ajit tries to flatter Bhushan and gets him to open a champagne bottle. But Bhushan had never opened a Champagne in his life and the cork ends up hitting Ajit in the eye, enraging him.

Ajit & Kapoor bug Bhushan's room to keep an eye on him. Kapoor warns Ranjini that Bhushan is a tax officer who has come to arrest Ajit, but Ranjini is adamant that Bhushan has only come to enjoy his vacation. Meanwhile, Bhushan starts to fall in love with Ranjini.

Bhushan writes a love letter for Ranjini, but he doesn't find an opportunity to give it to her. The letter falls into the swimming pool and Bhushan falls into it trying to retrieve the letter. Bhushan has to be rescued. While taking Bhushan to his room, Ranjini finds the letter and reads it.Ajit finds out that Bhushan can't swim & decide to throw him overboard. Ajit makes a move on Ranjini & she storms off. While getting rid of Bhushan, Ajit falls overboard & his goon later throws Bhushan in the water.

Ajit and Bhushan both wake up on the same deserted island & soon Ajit is irritated with Bhushan & insults him. Ajit calls Bhushan incompetent and a fool. Still, they realize that they need to work together to survive and eventually get off the Island.

They try various things to get themselves rescued, including tying Ajit's red underwear to a pole on the top of the island. They find a shack in the night occupied by a mad Bengali who is a nature freak & throws them out. The Bengali has a phone. Bhushan accidentally fires a flare in his shack which is seen by MT who is now searching for Bhushan as he thinks Ajit has kidnapped him to avoid the raid.

MT sees the flare and reaches the shack where Bhushan & Ajit have been caught by the Bengali trying to steal his phone. MT tells Bhushan about Ajit's plan to kill him. In a bid to escape Ajit lights a bomb inside the shack. The bomb explodes and they all fall unconscious. The next morning Kapoor & Ajit's goon find him & inform him that Naina has fired him from the company & has divorced him as well.

Ajit apologizes to Bhushan & leaves. Bhushan forgives Ajit & asks MT not to pursue the tax case against Ajit. Ranjini helps organize a music album for Bhushan with his prize money to fulfill his dream. Bhushan can't profess his love for Ranjini & they both end up being friends forever.
