Tutu ([[Ali Zafar]]) and Dev Sharma ([[Ranveer Singh]]) are two orphans who were raised by a local gangster, Bhaiyaji ([[Govinda (actor)|Govinda]]), to be assassins. Their lives take a turn when they meet Disha ([[Parineeti Chopra]]) at a club, after few days especially after the Birthday Party of Disha, Disha and Dev fall in love with each other.

Tutu gets Dev a fake MBA degree which helps Dev join an insurance company. Dev and Disha make plans to get married, while Disha is unaware of Dev's past. Bhaiyaji on learning the truth about Dev's job decides to play a trick to get him back. He sends one of his goons, Batuk, to kill Dev and informs Tutu. He also calls up Disha and tells her about Dev and Tutu's real identities. Just when Batuk is about to kill Dev, Tutu shoots him down in front of Disha. Disha is shocked with the reality and breaks up with Dev. This results in Dev again becoming an assassin.

Bhaiyaji gives them a fresh contract to kill his arch-enemy Baban Pehlwan. Dev and Tutu record a video telling the tale of how they became gangsters and send it to Disha. During a shootout, Dev is again unable to fire the gun and gets shot. Tutu takes him to the hospital, where after an operation, Dev finds Disha waiting for him and they both reconcile.
