==Plot==
A troubled young man, Prakash, is married to Sapna, who is an artist and the only daughter of a wealthy business tycoon, Rajiv Chopra, and Prakash is his son-in-law. Rajiv Chopra hates Prakash and often troubles him. Tired of being troubled and insulted by Chopra, Prakash plans to have Sapna kidnapped to make his father-in-law feel the way he does. He hires two broke strugglers, Rahul and Harry, who are to be fake kidnappers and kidnap Sapna. Rahul is an unemployed graduate who is seeking employment and is in love with Anjali, the daughter of his landlord, Dakshina Murthi. Murthi makes a condition to let Anjali marry Rahul if he finds a job in one month and pays all his overdue rents. If not, he would make Anjali marry someone else who has a good job. This prompts hopeless and vulnerable Rahul and his roommate Harry to join the fake kidnapping scheme.

The plan succeeds, and Chopra is deceived. Rahul and Harry demand Rs.1 1 crore as ransom money, and the fooled Chopra agrees to pay. As the ransom money has been paid, Rahul and Harry set Sapna free and leave her in a forest, which is also part of Prakash's plan. Prakash arrives at the forest to pick up Sapna; however, he realizes that she has been kidnapped again, but this time by real kidnappers. This crime caper soon turns into one hilarious joy ride!

Reviewing the music album for [[Rediff.com]], Sukanya Verma wrote that "Aslam Bhai" song "manages to click" "despite the fact that it has absurd lines".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Verma |first1=Sukanya |title=Music with attitude |url=https://www.rediff.com/entertai/2001/may/25love.htm |work=[[Rediff.com]] |access-date=26 March 2020 |date=25 May 2001 |archive-date=26 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200326153039/https://www.rediff.com/entertai/2001/may/25love.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Reception==
[[Sukanya Verma]] of [[Rediff.com]] opined that the film was "mostly watchable for its bubbling enthusiasm and, of course, Aslambhai".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Verma |first1=Sukanya |title=A fun rollercoaster ride!
