== Plot ==
Three individuals - Akshay Kumar ([[Tusshar Kapoor]]), Mr. Joshi ([[Anupam Kher]]), and Lambodar Jha ([[Rajpal Yadav]]) have their own share of troubles as a common man. While Akshay is a struggling crime reporter, Mr. Joshi is a retired accountant troubled by his ungrateful son. Lambodhar works as a mascot in a mall but tells his son he has a business. Lambodar finds it difficult to deal with his wife over his job and is very aggressive to tall people because he is very short and is often mocked for his height. Together they share their plight and find solace in each other's company.

Akshay wants to marry the love of his life, Priya (Raima Sen), the sister of the leader of [[D Company]], Dattu Bhai. Mr. Joshi wants to get 1 crore from his son, which he claims he has a right to since Mr. Joshi has spent 1 crore raising his son. Akshay wants a portion of this money to run away from India with his girlfriend. To get this money, the trio calls Joshi's son, claiming to be from a large gang called C Kkompany, and threatens to kill his family if he does not comply. Through a series of events, this matter becomes public, and the trio tries to keep it secret. Joshi has a friend whose apartment complex is being taken down by people backed by the D Company. Joshi and Lambhodhar plant a fake bomb in the car of a big D Company-backed businessman, saying that the next time, they could easily put a real bomb if the businessman does not stop the destruction of the apartment complex.

A show called "Sarkar ya C Kkompany" is aired on [[Zee TV]], with Akshay as the anchor. In the show, people call in with their problems, and the viewers see if C Kkompany helps or the Sarkar (government). The trio initially decides to stop their extortion calls since they feel they might get caught, but after realising that people who come for help have problems way worse than theirs, they decide to help them out of sympathy. However, the leader of D Company tries his best to discover the identity of the C Kkompany. He finds out that C Kkompany will be extorting 1 million from Joshi's son and goes to the meeting point (a carnival) to kill the C Kkompany members. He catches the trio, but is impressed and lets them go, while finally agreeing to let Priya marry Akshay.

In the end, Akshay marries Priya, with Dattu Bhai happily watching. Mr. Joshi gets his son's 1 crore Rs., and claims he got a lottery to hide the fact that he was C Kkompany and that he extorted the money. Lambodar starts his own business, and a person has to be at least 6 feet tall to work there. The three live happily ever after, and the movie ends.

The tale of C KKcompany continues, and it is found that now Sadashiv Pradhan is making the calls on C KKcompany behalf, unknown to Lambodhar, Joshi, and Akshay. Lambodhar, Joshi, and Akshay explain this to Dattubhai when questioned.

[[Sachin Yardi]], who previously worked as a [[screenwriter]] for films such as ''[[Kyaa Kool Hai Hum]]'' (2005) and ''[[Traffic Signal (film)|Traffic Signal]]'' (2007), got an idea for a story which dealt with ordinary men placed in extraordinary situations. He worked on the script for six months and invested much time on the character sketches.<ref name="yardi1">{{cite news|url=http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/08/aug/28-ckkompany-is-not-a-dvd-rip-off-080804.asp|title=C KKOMPANY is not a DVD rip-off|publisher=Glamsham.com|work=Bollywood Trade News Network|last=Tuteja|first=Joginder|date=2008-08-28|access-date=2008-08-30}}</ref> Speaking about his directorial debut, Yardi felt [[film director|direction]] to be a satisfying experience and helped him have control over his script.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.screenindia.com/news/Yardi-gets-ready-for-C-KKompany--s-launch/351221/|title=Yardi gets ready for C KKompany's launch|publisher=Screen India|date=2008-08-20|access-date=2008-08-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080913182932/http://www.screenindia.com/news/Yardi-gets-ready-for-C-KKompany--s-launch/351221/|archive-date=13 September 2008|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> After filming, he felt that the film was executed in the way he wanted it and was quite confident about the way it shaped up.<ref name="yardi1" />

== Remake ==
The film was said to have been remade in [[Pakistan]] as [[Na Maloom Afraad|''Na Maloom Afraad (2014)'']]. However, both the director [[Nabeel Qureshi (director)|Nabeel Qureshi]] and the lead actor [[Fahad Mustafa]] had denied that it was a remake, noting that the only similarity was that of three protagonists, including two young and one old, but that it had also shared with other films like ''[[Hera Pheri (2000 film)|Hera Pheri]],'' while the plot is totally different.<ref name="Tribune2016">{{cite news |date=29 June 2016 |title='Actor In Law' director says it is too soon to judge his film |url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/1132954/actor-law-director-says-soon-judge-film |access-date=23 July 2025 |work=The Express Tribune}}</ref><ref name="TNS2014">{{cite news |last=Alavi |first=Omair |date=12 October 2014 |title=From Na Maloom Afraad to Mah-e-Meer |url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/tns/detail/557275-na-maloom-afraad-mah-e-meer |access-date=23 July 2025 |work=The News on Sunday}}</ref>
