Synopsis

Alia Arora (Alia Bhatt) is an orphan who is adopted by Bipin Arora (Pankaj Kapur) whose wife Geetu Arora (Niki Aneja Walia) and mother Kamla Arora (Sushma Seth) are extremely business minded and have no feeling except for money. Bipin never told anyone why he brought Alia into the house and where she came from.Alia is hated by Geetu and Kamla but is loved by Bipin and his daughter Isha (Sanah Kapoor). Alia is also an insomniac whom Bipin encourages to sleep by giving dreams drawn on paper but doesn't succeed.

The girls grow and while driving to the palatial wedding place for Isha, Bipin's car is hit by Jagjinder Joginder aka JJ (Shahid Kapoor) driving his motorcycle and abuses him comically (JJ is smitten by Alia at first sight and removes his bike), and is later revealed to be the event manager for Isha's marriage. Kamla is paying for the entire wedding and is pissed that the magazine covering the wedding has a bigger photo of the groom's father and a smaller photo of her. Isha is fat and plumply and is irritated by being pressed to look hot and slim for the wedding.Kamla is hot for JJ. But JJ has eyes only for Alia.

The marriage is being arranged as a business merger between the Fundwanis led by Mr Fundwani (Sanjay Kapoor) and Aroras. The bride groom Robin Fundwani (Vikas Verma) is a fitness freak and is obsessed with his abs; he looks at Isha with contempt because she is chubby and loves eating food. The groom's party arrives in 4 golden stretch limos, all wearing golden clothes and with a golden gun.At a wedding dance function, Bipin's brother Vinay tries to get fresh with a dancer Sonia (Shibani Dandekar) and JJ pushes him aside. Bipin confronts JJ. Alia saw the whole thing and tries to defend JJ, but Kamla shuts her down. Kamla wont let Bipin fire JJ, as if JJ goes, the wedding will be off, and if that happens the business deal will fall through.

RObin wants JJ to arrange pot for the bachelor's party, but JJ refuses as Kamla is paying for shindig and has not approved of the same. Instead when Robin insults Isha, JJ organizes an awesome hens party for her, with Alia. Isha is happy again.

Through some magical and comical moments Alia and JJ (who is also an insomniac due to loss of his mother in riots) get attracted to each other (every time JJ gets close to Alia, Bipin is nearby to ward him off) (One night JJ is out biking when he finds Alia jumping off a waterfall and thinks she is committing suicide. He jumps after her and finds that she was just taking a bath, all naked) and finding peace among each other end up sleeping (listening to each other stories) and thus curing their insomnia.Robin is arrested for stripping himself at a strip joint. Turns out the police had picked him on JJ's instructions. JJ makes it look like that Robin was released due to his negotiation skills. Bipin learns by overhearing Alia that JJ is scared of the dark and tries to play tricks on him at night, but JJ sees him. JJ gets back at him at the family picnic, by throwing Bipin off the plane without a parachute, but then JJ brings him down safely.

At the picnic everybody accidentally eats magic mushrooms and hash brownies and gets high. JJ makes videos of everyone doing funny stuff. He also records Bipin having a conversation with his shoe, indicating that Alia is his daughter from an affair with a woman named Prabha. Alia sees this video. Bipin tells Alia that he met Prabha at flying school. They had sex, and Bipin had to return when his father died. He didn't know Prabha was preggers. He married Geetu for business reasons. Alia also gets Bipin to confess that JJ loves her.Bipin continues to scare JJ at night. To make Bipin jealous JJ takes Alia horse riding, but they both don't know how to ride a horse.Bipin finds JJ phone lying unattended and sees messages from someone called "patakha" which are "romantic" in nature. Bipin tries to expose JJ by broadcasting a call with Patakha in front of everyone, but it turns out to be JJ's grandmother.

Isha tells Bipin that Alia falls asleep with JJ and begs him not to separate the 2. But Bipin is adamant that JJ is not fit for Alia. She also says that if Bipin stops her then Kamla will also make a business deal out of Alia, as she has done for Isha.

Kamla has a sneezing accident (she was throwing pepper at someone and it circled back on her through the wind) and dies. But the Aroras are desperate for the marriage as they are bankrupt and really need the money from the merger of the two families.Robin on the other hand escalates the friction by verbally abusing Isha at many instances (including at the family song & dance night) leading to Isha breaking her marriage off at the wedding dais (Her dress rips apart at the dais and Robin bursts out laughing) and her speech inspires every one to believe in themselves and their real inner self.Frustrated Fundwani tries to physically force the marriage through and it is revealed that the Fundwanis are bankrupt too.JJ, Alia, Bipin, Isha and Robin escape from the scene and fly off to a happy ending.
