- 4 babies are born each second in the world. 98.3% of the kids are categorized into 3 archetypes: parent's favorites, rebels, and smart ass. Rahul is the 4th kind, ambitious, and wanting to fly away, but weighed down by his parent's expectations. Nothing Rahul ever did was good enough. If he won a silver medal, he was told that he lost the Gold medal. Everything in his life from his food to his clothes to education was decided by his parents.
Rahul Kapoor (Imran Khan), an architect, has always been on the road to perfection, as per the wishes of his domineering father, Sushil Kapoor (Boman Irani) and socialite mother, Seema Kapoor (Ratna Pathak Shah). Rahul is sent to Vegas to get job experience. The plan was for him to join the family business in 2 years and marry one of the daughters of Seema's socialite friends.
After suddenly losing his job in Vegas, he hides the truth from his parents and looks for another job. DK Bulani (Ram Kapoor) is Sushil's friend in Vegas and Dayna (Dana Lewis) is his wife. DK has taken Rahul under his wings during his stay in Vegas. DK teaches yoga to Rahul, and shares number of an escort service to help him loosen up, while Danya makes sexual advances at Rahul.
Unable to cope with unemployment, Rahul goes to a psychologist and runs into another patient, Riana Braganza (Kareena Kapoor). A series of events lead Riana to believe that he is sent by her ex-boyfriend to stalk her (as she had seen Rahul in the check-out line at the super-market as well), and she ends up taking his file by mistake. Rahul is 25 years old, and Riana is 27 years old and is a barber.
Riana, who later realizes her mistake, calls him, and apologizes for her behavior. They meet up on Christmas Eve and Riana invites Rahul to have a few drinks with her. A few drinks turn into a night of intoxicated revelry, and they end up marrying each other.
Horrified the following morning, they decide to get it annulled as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Riana, who is also unemployed and has not paid her rent, loses her accommodation and an initially hesitant Rahul lets her stay with him till her problem gets resolved. It is Christmas Day and Riana wants to visit her family for New Years, plus the annulment process will also take 3-4 days. Additionally, Riana has a job interview on the day after Christmas.
During these few days, they get to know each other better. Rahul is revealed to be interested in photography while Riana recounts her ambition to be a ballet dancer, which was destroyed after she broke her ankle in childhood. She also broke her 2 front teeth when her bunk bed broke and she fell to the ground. She embraces her imperfections. Rahul shares that he dated Anusha (Soniya Mehra) on the recommendation of his parents, but then she stopped calling. Riana says that his self esteem is really low and encourages him to call Anusha back. Rahul does so and invites Anusha for dinner. Anusha finds the new Rahul wild and invites him for sex in the bathroom. Rahul gets very nervous and ends up spraying Anusha with a faucet, which ends their evening.
Their friendship develops as Riana gives Rahul a long break he always wanted on her birthday. Riana is a free spirit, while Rahul is very structured and disciplined. Rahul enjoys this new way of living his life. Together, they visit a government office to file for their annulment. Riana gifts Rahl a camera for New Year. As they grow closer, Rahul develops feelings for Riana, who fails to reciprocate them.
As New Year's Eve approaches, Riana plans to visit her family (father Phil (Nikhil Kapoor), mother Nicole (Zenobia Shroff), sister Steff (Manasi Scott) and Brother-in-law Karan (Mukul Chadda)) in Mumbai India and asks Rahul to accompany her. He disagrees initially, as his parents also live in Mumbai, but later succumbs to her argument. She says that if she can stay at Rahul's house, then he can stay at her house. Upon arrival, she introduces him to her family, making his feelings towards her grow. Riana's parents are very chill, and since their guest bedroom is under renovation, he gets to sleep between Nicole and Phil. Riana reflects that Rahul never does anything in excess and he is perfectly "average", which is a rare quality to have. This is the first time anyone has ever complimented Rahul for who he is.
The next day, Riana takes him to visit her school. Amidst reflecting over her past relationships, he unsuccessfully tries to kiss her. Rahul believes that Riana led him on and gave him all the hints only to back out at the moment of truth. Riana says that she likes Rahul, but only as a friend. Realizing that she does not feel the way he does, he angrily leaves the school, only to almost run into a car revealed to be his mother's. He lies and tells his mother that he is in India for a research trip, and that Riana is a colleague. They have lunch with Rahul's parents, where he spins a web of intricate lies to avoid telling his father the truth. He leaves Riana's house and returns to his parents, trying to tell them the truth, but once again is overpowered by his father.
Two days later, during a family dinner, Sushil tells Rahul that one of his business partners will propose a wedding of their daughter with Rahul. Rahul was never consulted about this, and Sushil says that the business deal is critical for them. Again, Dayna starts hitting on Rahul at the dinner table and DK patronizes him. Rahul angrily divulges the complete truth to his in-denial parents and their business partners, after realizing the meaninglessness of his pretense he indulged in all these years. Rahul rushes back to Riana to apologize for his behavior while Riana apologizes, she never intended to lead him on. After a night of reflection and deep conversation, they decide to maintain their friendship.
The duo returns to Las Vegas and finalize their annulment. Rahul gets a new job, while making time for photography. He remains hopeful that one day he will convince Riana to go back to that chapel with him. Both remain good friends, with an ending note from Rahul claiming that he is finally happy with his life.
