Plot Summary

3 men, considered as losers in their lives by the people, plan to get rich along with their girlfriends by fooling 2 gangsters and robbing their money.Jagmohan/Junky (Arshad Warsi) and Chandrakanth/Chandu (Pulkit Samrat) are brothers and are friends with Raj Kishore (John Abraham). Raj is known for bringing bad luck wherever he goes. Any venture the trio engage in results in losses or setbacks; even their fire-cracker shop burns down on its inaugural day.Raj has a girlfriend Sanjana (Ileana D'Cruz). Sanjana has a Mamaji (Brijendra Kala). They both trade stories of how they met Raj and figure out that Raj had put up Junky and Chandu to rob them on different occasions, and then entered at the last moment to emerge a hero in their eyes. Mamaji tells Sanjana that Raj enticed him into investing in a cement business with him, but he was so unlucky that Mamaji lost all his money.Back when he was in India, the day Raj joined a bank, Niraj Modi (Inaamulhaq) left India owing the bank Rs 32,000 Crores.Mamaji realizes that Sanjana had also taken out a bank loan to finance a new business with Raj, to customize and deliver high end cars. When Mamaji tells Sanjana about Raj's deceit, she demands her money back. The trio was on the verge of delivering their first custom car when Sanjana arrived. The trio manage to escape with the car. Raj argues that he had invested all of Sanjana's capital into customizing the car. The trio drive the delivery truck recklessly to evade Sanjana and her goons who followed them in their own cars.They deliver their first car to Raja Sahab (Saurabh Shukla) and Raja's brother-in-law Wifi Bhai (Anil Kapoor) who run illegal casinos in London. Raja Sahab has daughter Jhanvi (Kriti Kharbanda). As soon as Raj enters their property, Police raids Raja's casinos and arrests all their men. Raja thinks this was done by his rivals Tulli (Zakir Hussain) and Bulli Seth (Ashok Samarth).Turns out the guys Junky & Chandu have totally destroyed a 7 Crores sports car while delivering it for which Raja Sahab and his goons torture them. Wifi says that even by selling all their organs, they would not be able to recover the Rs 7 Crores. They offer their services as servants, a suggestion which WiFi Bhai accepts; he convinces Raja Sahab to hire them against the wishes of their astrologer, who is aware of Raj's lousy luck.They get employed as disposable servants; Junky and Chandu are used for testing food that Raja Sahab's and WiFi Bhai's enemies may have poisoned, while Raj serves as their decoy during travel. The trio learns that several servants have been killed serving Raja and Wifi in this job. Tulli and Bulli launch an assassination attempt on Raja's car convoy, but he manages to escape unhurt. Chandu and Janhvi fall in love with each other.Because Sanjana couldn't repay the loan, she is jailed along with her Mamaji.Baba Jani (Mukesh Tiwari) is the underworld boss of London and both Raja and Tulli are afraid of him. Baba Jani reports to Niraj Modi, who is now settled in London. Niraj forces the rivals to reach a settlement. But that night the trio come home and tell Wifi and Raja that they beat up Bulli because of all the assassination attempts on Raja Sahab. Raja wants to shoot the trio, but Jhanvi intervenes and saves the 3. Baba Jani had given Raja and Wifi 700 Crores each to Raja and Bulli as settlement of the feud, but the trio accidentally burn that entire lump of cash in a freak accident in Raja Sahab's castle.Rajah Sahab takes his remaining wealth and wants to bet it on a horse race, but Rajah and Wifi don't go themselves due to threat from Tulli and sent the trio with specific instructions to bet on Lucky. Once there, Raj gets a tip and borrows more from Sanjana to bet everything on Jhonny. Lucky wins the race. When Rajah and Wifi find out, they send their men to find them. The trio try to escape, but find a job at an amusement park instead. Tulli/Bulli and Rajah/Wifi trace them down, but the trio and their girls manage to escape. The group ends up on a glue truck where Janhvi's lips get stuck to Chandu's cheeks, and Sanjana and her uncle get stuck on their backs.They enter a haunted house for refuge and there Junky meets Kavya (Urvashi Rautela) who was pretending to be a spirit to scare people. Kavya tells her sob story when caught and Junky falls in love with her. On the same property, Raj finds a secret bunker where Niraj had kept all the cash money he had stolen from India.Meanwhile Baba Jani and Niraj give an ultimatum to Raja to return their money within 48 hours. Raja fakes a heart attack to buy some time. But Niraj calls his bluff and is about to shoot him when the trio and their 3 girls make their entry in expensive cars. So Raj had stolen Niraj's money to pay him back to secure Raja and Wifi's release. Niraj soon realizes that he has been robbed by the trio. Niraj kidnaps Raja and sends Wifi to get the money back.The trio convince WiFi that he still loves India and the money that Niraj stole belongs to all Indians. Wifi agrees and brings the trio to Niraj's hideout. Raj reminds Niraj that his money is not his own but stolen from India and Raj himself is an ex-employee of one of the banks Niraj took loans from and thus was one of many people who lost jobs because of Niraj. Raj also goads Niraj's henchmen into keeping the money for themselves.Then Mehul Chokshi (Niraj's Mama) arrives with his goons and tell Niraj that the earlier cash was fake. A fight breaks out between the trio and Mehul's goons which ends with the arrival of inter-pol who arrest Niraj and Mehul
