Four lazy slacker conmen buddies learn about the secret of a hidden treasure from a dying thief and set out to find and claim it while being pursued by a determined police inspector who is hellbent to get the treasure all by himself.

Four slackers and con-men namely: Boman Contractor, who lives a wealthy lifestyle with his eccentric dad, Nari, who loves his antique car more than his son, and asks his son to leave when he damages the car; hot-headed Aditya and dim-witted Manav, orphaned brothers; and Deshbandhu Roy, a trickster who wears a magnetized belt; share a room with a lenient landlady, who eventually gives up on them and kicks them out. After a number of con tricks, the group are arrested by the Police, but released in the countryside. At this point they witness a car plummet down a cliff, with it's sole occupant, Bose, an underworld don, who, before dying, tells them that he has hidden 10 Crore Rupees in cash in the St. Sebastian's Garden, Goa, and if they find it, it is their's to keep. The group race toward Goa in Contractor's stolen car, little knowing that their plans will soon be foiled, albeit hilariously, by Police Inspector Kabir Nayak, who is angered at this Department for not appreciating his honesty, and is instead penalizing him by transferring him to Yavatmal; a bus hijacker-cum-bandit named Baabubhai, who holds Deshbandhu hostage, and Nari Contractor, who wants the money to repair his now completely damaged car. All want an equal part of the bounty, and each and everyone of them will do anything, even break-up their friendship, rules, laws, and regulations in order to try and keep the cash for themselves, and eventually end up in a race, using a wide assortment of vehicles, and even an airplane, with the winner(s) keeping the entire amount for themselves.—rAjOo ([email protected])

Synopsis

Deshbandhu Roy aka Roy (Riteish Deshmukh), who believes that he was born to be the best detective in the world. Roy is kicked out of his job for not guarding a certain building.

Manav Shrivastav (Javed Jafferey), who actually happens to be the biggest idiot in the world but is blissfully unaware about it and his elder brother, Aditya Shrivastav aka Adi (Arshad Warsi), whose encyclopedic half knowledge about everything only adds to the great expertise of this group. Adi is using a mix-tape to play a saxophone. After his audience finds out, they thrash him. Adi's autistic brother Manav tries to get a Rs. 50 Banknote back from a guy by reaching his wallet, only for his hand to be stuck in the guy's back pocket, while putting the wallet back after getting the money and follows him to the one of the stalls in the restroom. The guy soon finds out and thrashes Manav.

The final component of the gang is Mr. Scared of everything, Boman Contractor (Aashish Chowdhury), whose greatest fear is his father, Nari Contractor (Asrani).All four of them wind up together in a woman's house, where they go partying at nightclubs. In the house however, they're useless, as they don't do anything around and haven't paid their rent yet, the woman kicks them out of the house for not paying their rents and tells them to get a decent job.

Desperate to earn money, they devise up a plan. Adi tells Manav to steal a painting from the house to sell to the son of the late businessman Dwiwedi. However, Manav accidentally picks up a blank painting. They humorously sell the painting for Rs. 20,000 to Dwiwedi. They then pick up the original painting with the intention to sell it to Mr. Aggarwal, not knowing that he has been murdered. The case is handled by Inspector Gadha Kulkarni (Murali Sharma), who learns that before Mr. Aggrawal was murdered he got a call with a code "Horse ate all the grass". When the four arrive at Agrawal's residence, he immediately arrests them after demanding to see the blank painting.

While driving on the highway, Kulkarni frees the foursomes upon being informed that they are innocent.At this point they witness a car plummet down a cliff, with its sole occupant, Bose (Prem Chopra), an underworld don, who, before dying, tells them that he has hidden 10 Crore Rupees in cash in the St. Sebastian's Garden, Goa, and if they find it, it is theirs to keep. He tells them to divide the money equally among themselves and then dies.

The group race toward Goa in Contractor's stolen car, little knowing that their plans will soon be foiled, albeit hilariously, by Police Inspector Kabir Nayak (Sanjay Dutt), who is angered at this Department for not appreciating his honesty and is instead penalizing him by transferring him to Yavatmal. Bose had stolen the 10 Crore in a chit fund fraud & Kabir was after him for 10 years.

Desperate for his promotion, Kabir is determined to capture the four. The four steal Boman's car which still belongs to Nari. The friends manage to steal the car but not before hitting Nari on the head and making him unconscious. Roy loses control of the car in a forest and hits it against a tree, breaking both headlights. They decide to spend the night in the car. The next day Kabir is transferred to Yavatmal for failing to capture Bose. Furious, he walks towards his table where Nari is waiting for him to file a complaint against his son for stealing his car, and gives Kabir the photos of Boman and his car. Meanwhile, all four come across a broken bridge which is the only way through the forest. They decide to jump the car but Boman is reluctant to do so. They manage to succeed but it crashes and explodes.

Kabir tracks the four down after discovering the destroyed car. He is able to learn the location of the treasure due to Manav's dumbness. He ties all four of them to a tree and sets off. However, they manage to escape, and it is revealed that Roy had actually cut the engine wires of Kabir's car so to make sure he has not gone too far. They reach a Dhaba and pretend to be detectives. They make the villagers and the Dhaba owner believe that Kabir is Pasha, a dangerous gang leader and lures them to capture him for the reward would be Rs. 15 Lakhs. Kabir defeats the villagers and he and the four arrive at a settlement - 60% would belong to the four and 40% would belong to Kabir. But Adi insists on having his and Manav's money in separate shares when they were planning to pay Boman as one share for damaging his car. Consequently, a fight ensues and is decided that whoever reaches the treasure first would take all the money.

All four part ways and try to reach Goa as soon as possible. Roy encounters a bandit Babu Bhai and agree to divide the money among themselves provided they reach Goa as soon as possible. Boman also encounters his father. Though Nari initially wants to kill his son, he changes his mind after he learns about the ten Crores. Nari and Boman find a private pilot, but hilarious conditions cause the duo to fly in utter despair when the pilot abandons the steer and collapses into alcoholism while airline customer service provider D. K. Malik pushes them to near madness, failing to save himself, but they manage to reach Goa. Adi and Manav travel together. They keep failing to hitch a ride to take them to Goa until they bump into Iyer, who irritates them throughout the journey by continuously extending his patronymic name while introducing himself. Kabir nearly escapes death with a school child whom he saved as he hangs off a cliff and is pushed to deal with some school children who were supposed to visit and perform at a charity event.

Finally, as they together reach the garden, they mutually agree to find the treasure together before dividing it. They locate four palm trees which make the shape of a 'W', but Kabir arrives there and tells them to divide the money against them to which all agree. They dig there and are able to find the money. But again, a fight ensues over the payment for the damage of the car. All are enraged when Adi and Manav are decided to pay the money as one unit but are separate units while taking money. The fight goes on during which Kabir takes all the money and runs. He tries to escape in a hot air balloon on a beach but finds it tied to a pole. He dives in an effort to cut the rope but is beaten up by the rest who pursue him. The balloon blows offshore, and all are disheartened.

Conditions change when the wind changes direction and the balloon again blow onshore. Night falls and they follow the balloon in a towing van. The balloon clashes against a pole and the bag falls down. All of them try to collect as much money as they can when suddenly some spotlights focus on them and a crowd cheer loudly behind them. Realizing that they are on a stage and the occasion is the charity event to be attended by the performing children who were with Kabir, they further learn about the pathetic condition of the orphaned kids who were to be honored through charity and decide to donate the money to the orphans.

At the end, the chief guest of the event - Commissioner M. I. Chaturvedi, who is Kabir's boss, praises all of them, while also telling Kabir that he will receive his promotion and that there is no better of use of this money than giving it for a charitable cause.
