Plot Summary

Harinder "Harry" Singh Nehra (Shah Rukh Khan) is a tourist guide in Amsterdam. He is a cheap womanizer but a friendly and helpful guide.After dropping a Gujarati family to the airport, Harry comes across Sejal Zaveri (Anushka Sharma), a member of the same Gujarati family, who has lost her engagement ring. He reluctantly agrees to help her find her ring. Harry tells Sejal that he is a cheap womanizer and has been fired multiple times from past jobs, as he had sex with his female tour customers. But Sejal is undeterred. Harry wants Sejal to go with another tour guide Mayank (Aru Krishansh Verma), as he considers Mayank, safe. Sejal does not budge and so the duo land in Amsterdam. Harry tells Sejal repeatedly not to go out alone. Sejal is insulted that Harry doesn't find her sexy and goes out in skimpy clothes. She attracts the attention of a pimp, and then screams for Harry to bail her out from marauding goons.He later tells her that he had left his home in Nur Mahal village and came to Canada to become a singer, which did not work out.Both Harry and Sejal travel to places where he had initially taken the family, in search of the ring. During this, Harry falls in love with Sejal, but does not reveal it to her as she is engaged to someone else. Harry repeatedly asks Sejal to leave him when the time comes. Sejal tells Harry not to worry and that she is not the type of person to ditch her fiance before their wedding. She invites Harry to her wedding though. They soon learn that a criminal, Ghyassuddin Mohammed Qureshi (Gas) (Chandan Roy Sanyal), has stolen the ring. One restaurant owner in Frankfurt tells Harry that he gave a ring to a Portugese girl Anastasia. Anastasia informs them that a Portugese man names Gas had given her the ring and she threw it back at him as she did not like Gas. Harry & Sejal are puzzled as to how Gas got the ring, and deduce that he stole it from Sejal. They go to Gas to retrieve the ring but Harry gets thrashed by Gas's men. Harry is able to fight them off by posing as an immigration agent, threatening deportation. Later, while looking for antiseptics in her bag for Harry, Sejal finds the ring and realizes that the ring was in her bag all along. However, she does not tell Harry about this.The next day, Harry and Sejal fly to Frankfurt for the wedding of Mayank; Harry's friend.

He asks her to take care and bids her goodbye.She returns to India and he returns to his work, but begins to miss her and gets depressed. On Mayank's insistence, Harry flies for Mumbai to go to her wedding. On reaching the venue, he learns that her marriage was called off and finds her sitting outside.
