Plot - Roy (played by Abhishek Bachchan) is a professional conman (bluffmaster in Indian English), who is a master of his dubious "art." He is in love with the honest and true "Simmi" (played by Priyanka Chopra). When they are about to get engaged, Simmi finds out that Roy is a conman, and she breaks off the relationship. Time passes, and Roy misses Simmi greatly. He tries his best to get back with her, but all attempts go in vain. Then Roy meets "Aditya Srivastav" alias "Dittu" (played by Ritesh Deshmukh). Aditya is a conman too, though an incompetent one. They meet in an elevator where Dittu attempts to steal Roy's briefcase. Roy eventually becomes friends with Dittu and they become partners.

After a few days, it is revealed that Dittu's friend goes to jail because of the police. Aditya blames it on Roy, and Roy frustratedly agrees to do anything Aditya says. Aditya asks Roy to teach him how to be a conman. Roy agrees to teach Aditya the art of the con. This altruistic gesture opens up Roy's heart even further; he develops a true friendship for Aditya.

Then Roy is told that he has a brain tumour and will die soon. He decides to perform one last good deed. Aditya tells Roy that he wants to take revenge on his father's enemies. When Simmi finds out about the tumour, she goes back to Roy in order to spend time with him. She sees that he is a changed man, and love blossoms between the two once again. Roy manages to fool "Chandu"(Nana Patekar) the man Aditya wants revenge against.

Roy's doctor tells him that he can be treated by going to a clinic in Atlanta. Roy gathers up all his con money in order to go for is treatment. Just as all his money is collected, Roy finds out that Chandu has Simmi in custody. Roy sacrifices the money in order to save Simmi. She says that she loves him, and leaves him alone with Chandu. Chandu pushes Roy off the roof...

Then Roy lands on a soft mat below the building. The public come up to him and ask which movie is he shooting for. Roy is confused and says it isn't a movie. The public accuse Roy of thinking they are stupid and walk away. Roy retraces his steps and realises that all the places he has been, turned out to be fake. Then last of all, he goes to a house, and finds that everyone who he thought knew were conning him. They made a movie out of him. All is revealed that Aditya was getting revenge for his father, who Roy had conned. Roy changes his ways, and agrees not to be a conman. He gets back together with Simmi, who was in on the setup.
