Plot
Ajit Talwar (Kay Kay Menon) is a business tycoon. The movie starts with an interview with Ajit Talwar on a news channel. Ajit Talwar has a broad business unit. Ajit Talwar is married to Naina Talwar (Rukshar), but still, Ajit Talwar is a womanizer who has an affair with his secretary, played by Spanta Patel (Kishwer Merchant). Ajit Talwar has a friend Kapoor (Rahul Vohra), whose wife Raveena (Aditi Govitrikar) runs a TV channel. Kapoor invites Ajit to the final episode of Aao Guess Karein, a TV reality show aired on Kapoor's TV channel. The finalist of the show is the protagonist, Bharat Bhushan (Vinay Pathak), who wins ₹ 25 lakh and a chance to journey on a luxurious cruise. The Executive Producer of the show Ranjini (Minissha Lamba) asks Bharat Bhushan how he would he utilise the prize money. Bhushan says by producing a music album.
Bhushan is an income tax officer and has a friend, M. T. Shekharan (Suresh Menon), 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. Shekharan follows Ajit Talwar to the cruise ship and employs various disguises to collect evidence on Ajit Talwar.
