Three men living different lifestyles in Mumbai are on the lookout for a 'perfect love life.' Naren Ahuja works as a bank manager and is seeking divorce from his wife, Madhvi; Abhay Suri is a playboy and gym trainer; and Milind Kelkar works in a matrimonial company and is in search of true love. Naren leaves his house and starts living in his parents' house. Abhay and Milind are thrown out of their rented apartments and end up as paying guests for Naren, who has a crush on June Pinto, a new intern in his bank. Milind starts developing feelings for a radio jockey, Gungun Sarkar. Abhay falls for Anushka Narang, a former Miss India who married a multi-millionaire and is interested in young men.
Naren and June start enjoying each other's company. Milind tries to impress Gungun, which annoys her, but she uses Milind for her own reasons. Abhay gets full attention from Anushka, and they start having an affair. The three love stories blossom until Nikki Narang, Anushka's stepdaughter, enters the story. Abhay falls for Nikki and starts ignoring Anushka. He breaks up with Anushka and starts going out with Nikki. June's grandma invites Naren for dinner, and Gungun eventually falls in love with Milind. However, everything changes. Milind gets upset after getting a letter from Gungun that she's going to Chennai for a film project; Nikki dumps Abhay, therefore admitting that she was just using him for sex and he's not her type; and June's grandma invites Naren to get his opinion on June marrying Chris Pascal, her boyfriend. At the airport, the three decide to go to Goa for a vacation and vow never to fall for girls any more. However, they find three new girls.
The film received an A (Adults only) rating by the Central Board of Film Certification after Bhandarkar refused to cut several scenes he felt were integral to the film.[6]
