Both men end up squabbling with each other, as both want the hero’s part. Champak finds out that Bunty has harassed the play’s heroine, Anjali, and punishes him. The group gets a contract to stage 30 plays in by Ravinder Taneja; however, on the day of the departure, Anjali opts out, leaving Champak no alternative but to travel without a heroine, hoping to recruit one while in Britain. Upon arrival in , Champak declares that whoever brings him a heroine will be given the role of the . Babla sets about to find a suitable heroine from the . On the advice of Gullu, a , he goes to a garden where he is followed by Bunty, and the two agree to take the turns in the role of the hero. While there, Bunty and Babla have their accidentally switched by two men with one containing , and as a result, both men end up being considered suspects by the , whose commissioner is J. D. Mehra. The two men who switched the suitcase are revealed to be working under Manubhai Gandhi, a builder and who is trying to sell drugs to his buyer, Sher Khan. He and his men immediately suspect the trio to be after hearing from Sher Khan that his men had been arrested by the police, and comedy ensues whenever Gandhi and his men bump into them. Gullu takes Bunty to two goons, Guru and Hakka, who know a woman who lives in , but they insist to drive there with the two along with all of their men. Not wanting to go along with this condition, the two trick all the goons into exiting the car while they escape, though Guru is still inside the car. Bunty eventually recruits a woman named Nisha Chauhan a.k.a. “Munni” who suffers from , after she attempts to commit in front of their car, with Guru falling out and in the process. Munni is accepted as the heroine of the play, and through the course of time, both Nisha and Bunty fall in love with each other. Guru and his men find the troupe and chase Bunty to get their revenge, but Bunty escapes, and Hakka accidentally breaks Guru’s other leg instead. Nisha’s husband, Vikram Chauhan, soon arrives, thanks everyone, and takes his wife back home to . A few days later, Bunty receives a phone call from a frantic Nisha, who tells him to come over immediately. He, along with Champak and Babla, arrive there to find her . Later, Bunty briefly sees Nisha on the streets, but no one believes him. The group ultimately decide to enact a play in which there is no need for a heroine. On the night of the play, a frightened Champak also sees Nisha in the restroom. Suddenly, Vikram bumps into the trio with a gun in his hand, and Bunty accidentally presses the trigger of the gun, killing him. They hide Vikram’s body and Champak’s bloodstained in an AC duct to avoid any suspicion. They go on to perform the play, but Vikram’s body slides down the vents and falls onto the stage. Mehra, who was present in the audience, investigates the case and finds Champak’s kurta and Babla’s chain on Vikram’s body and has the trio arrested. While the trio is being taken, Gandhi’s men throw a grenade in the police car in an attempt to kill them, compelling them to escape. Bunty suggests that they find Nisha to prove their innocence. After breaking into her house, they find out that Nisha has booked a ticket to under the name of Aditi Desai. They call at the number she registered for booking and find out that another girl named Sheetal, who is a friend of Nisha, has brought the ticket for her. Champak accidentally allows himself to get by Gandhi’s men, and they torture him to get the information that they suspect he knows about their drug smuggling business. Meanwhile, Guru and his men take Gullu’s taxi, and won’t return it until Gullu brings Bunty to them; he is then captured by his boss, the taxi’s owner, who threatens he will imprison Gullu if he doesn’t retrieve the taxi. Babla and Bunty follow Sheetal to a train station, where they witness her handing the ticket to Nisha. Bunty catches her and chases her to the top of a clocktower, while Babla calls Mehra about their location. Gullu witnesses this and calls Guru to take Bunty and return the taxi, and the taxi owner to take the taxi back. Gandhi also chooses the clocktower as his destination to complete his deal with Khan and asks him to come there. Nisha reveals to Bunty and Babla that her actual name is Aditi Desai, and she was hired by Vikram Chauhan to act as her real wife, Nisha Chauhan, for sometime, and make everyone believe she had suicidal tendencies in exchange for 20 lakh and a ticket back to India, as she was currently stranded without her . But when her work was done, she witnessed Vikram killing her real wife to from her, and tried to save Nisha but failed to do so; it was the real Nisha who got burnt and died. On the play night, Aditi had come to tell the truth to Bunty and the others, but she was seen by Vikram, who was also there and wanted to kill Aditi for being the only witness in his wife’s murder. However, Mehra, in a shocking turn of events, appeared and shot him; he was already wounded when he encountered the trio. Mehra then arrives and tells his side of the story—that he killed Vikram to avenge Nisha, who he reveals was his sister; Vikram drugged her in order to gain control of her wealth . Mehra tries to kill Aditi for helping Vikram and being the only witness in his murder, but Gandhi, Khan, and their men (with Champak as their prisoner), Guru and his men (who have kidnapped Taneja as they believe he is Bunty’s boss who told him to deceive them), Gullu, and the taxi owner and his men simultaneously arrive, and the convergence causes chaos. In the confusion, Gandhi, who believes everyone present is , accidentally shoots a hive of bees, who attack and chase everyone (apart from Mehra, who escapes) outside onto the clock on the top floor. A team tries to rescue them, but the mechanical ladder malfunctions from their combined weight and begins to fall apart, sending everyone flying off the ladder and getting injured (except Aditi) as they fall and land in different places. All of them are admitted to the hospital, where Mehra visits Champak’s team and Aditi, returns their passports, and surrenders himself to the police.
