While on the run, Jai and Veeru meet Vikramjeet Singh (Aashif Sheikh), an NRI who is on his way to work as a manager in Goa, for Rai Bahadur (Anupam Kher), a wealthy businessman who owns a beer factory.
Jai pretends to be Vikramjeet Singh, and both he and Veeru move into Rai Bahadur's house, intending to befriend and then rob him. However, they fall in love with Rai Bahadur's daughters (Monica Bedi and Twinkle Khanna) and, in a series of hilarious scenes, save the family from Sir John (Ashish Vidyarthi). In the end, while Jai is stealing money from Rai to release Veeru from Sir John, the entire Rai clan is watching the news and finds out that Jai and Veeru are not who they claim to be, but con men.
