Spoilers ahead

After enduring a significant financial loss due to a scam orchestrated by a police officer, Kabir Nayak (Sanjay Dutt) finds himself entwined with four aimless friends: Aditya Shrivastav (Arshad Warsi), Boman Contractor (Aashish Chaudhary), Manav Shrivastav (Javed Jaffrey), and Deshbandhu Roy (Ritesh Deshmukh). Unemployed and broke, the group attempts various futile scams in hopes of rebuilding their finances.

Their fortunes seem to shift when they cross paths with Kabir, who is now living a lavish life alongside his wife, Kamini (Mallika Sherawat), and sister, Kiya (Kangana Ranaut). To their astonishment, Kabir appears to have squandered the stolen money he was supposed to donate to the orphanage they supported together.
