But soon they have to run from [[Bombay]] after an encounter with a local Bhai, because they end up having a brawl with his younger brother ([[Rajat Bedi]]) and they by accident kill him in a night club. While on the run, Jai and Veeru meet Vikramjeet Singh ([[Aashif Sheikh]]), an [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|NRI]], who is on his way to work as a manager, in [[Goa]], for Rai Bahadur ([[Anupam Kher]]), a wealthy businessman who owns a beer factory.

Jai pretends to be Vikramjeet Singh and both he and Veeru move into Rai Bahadur's house intending to befriend then rob him. However, they fall in love with Rai Bahadur's daughters ([[Monica Bedi]] and [[Twinkle Khanna]]) and in a series of hilarious scenes, save the family from Sir John ([[Ashish Vidyarthi]]). In the end, while Jai is stealing money from Rai to release Veeru from Sir John, the entire Rai clan is watching the news and find out that Jai and Veeru are not who they claim to be, but con men.
