Abhishek is the heir to the Aggarwal Industries group and son of an extremely indulgent father. While he isn't too interested in working or even showing up in his office, he does keep himself busy by constantly falling deeply and genuinely in love - with the wrong women. It is this very trait of his which his childhood friends, Amrita and Paglu find endearing & simultaneously try and protect him from.

Amrita has always supported Abhishek no matter what he did. Unknown to her, she is in love with Abhishek, but if anyone suggests the possibility to her, she dismisses it lightly saying, “But we're just friends.â€' An answer that Paglu, the third in this extremely close-knit trio, doesn't believe.

Paglu is the planner in the group, even though not all his plans are extremely well thought out. However, what he lacks in foresight, he makes up in sheer enthusiasm. Unfortunately, not all of his plans are entirely legitimate, something that Amrita keeps pointing out

The story is set in Singapore. Probably, it explains the reason why the three of them, all of Indian origin, remain together in a closely knit group in spite of their differences. It also explains the reason for the various character traits of the three young people as the story progresses in the scenic beauty of Singapore.

The story begins one evening when Paglu, following another one of his harebrained schemes, plans a vacation of 'shark riding' with Abhishek and Amrita. Despite the obvious dangers that Amrita points out, nobody is able to say no in the face of Paglu's enthusiasm.

The next day, Abhi informs them that he can't go with them because he is once again 'in love.' The lucky girl's name is Sara, and she is an expert in Feng Shui. When they go to meet Sara however, it becomes very clear to Paglu and Amrita that despite his conviction, this time too Abhi has found the wrong woman.

Sure enough they are proven right when Abhi calls them a few days later and tells them a heart-breaking story of how Sara had unceremoniously dumped him at the restaurant for some ridiculous reason. While Amrita makes all the sympathetic noises and tries to make him feel better, Paglu is bored by the usual break up story and determines that he will have to find Abhi a nice girl, so that he never has to hear another break-up story again. Watching Amrita and Abhi together, and their natural affection for each other, he realizes that the perfect girl for Abhi is Amrita.

However when he suggests this to Amrita, she laughs at him and says, “Don't be silly, we're just friends.â€' But the idea slowly takes root in Amrita mind.
Encouraged by the fondness that Abhi's father has for her, and vague hints dropped by Abhi himself, Amrita lets her deep-rooted feelings for Abhi come to the fore-front and lets herself fall in love with him.

On the day that Abhi says he will tell his friends who he is in love with, there is a party at his house. Amrita and Paglu are both excited about the fact that Abhi will declare his love for her. Soon the time comes for Abhi to speak, and Abhi introduces Kartika, a stunning beauty, as his girlfriend. Amrita is heart-broken as she realizes that she had based all her love on misleading hints, but also realizes that she will never be able to go back to 'just being friends' with Abhi.

Paglu in the meanwhile is shocked. He dislikes Kartika immediately, and convinces Amrita to fight for Abhi. He says, “You have as much a right to be with Abhi as she does.â€' When she says that she doesn't know how, Paglu has a plan that will make Abhi sit up and take notice. But each time, their plan backfires when Kartika shows up with Abhi. Ironically, everyone likes Kartika, including Amrita's mom! Finally Paglu says that the plan has to be made grander; they have to throw a surprise birthday party for Abhi.

So while Amrita makes all the arrangements for the party at the office, Paglu goes to Kartika's office and invites her to the same party, but to Amrita's House, Sure that this will be enough to keep her out of the way while Amrita wins Abhi's love, he throws himself completely into the preparations. But when the time comes, Abhi doesn't show up. They wait till midnight, until they realize that Abhi is not going to show up that night.

The next day however, Abhi tells them that he had every intention of coming but Kartika had already planned a birthday outing for him and he didn't want to disappoint her. So they had both taken off to another city to celebrate. Paglu and Amrita now realize that Kartika had deliberately destroyed their plans. They barge into her office to confront her, and are shocked to find, not the sweet charming Kartika they had met, but a cold and calculating woman who clearly was with Abhi only for his money.

But when they try to warn Abhi, he turns against Paglu and Amrita, saying that Kartika had warned him that they would try to turn him against her, and is shocked to see how low they had stooped. Leaving them slack-jawed, he storms out of their regular bar. The next day when Amrita calls Abhi to clear the air, he stuns her by saying that he has already made plans to marry Kartika.

Paglu and Amrita are stunned but they realize that they can't allow this to happen as Kartika clearly doesn't love him. But when they go to the airport to reason with him, they run into Kartika and try to convince her. Paglu leads her towards his car, but she refuses to get in. In the scuffle she hits her head on the roof of the car and passes out.

When she regains consciousness, she is shocked to find herself at Paglu's house. She threatens them with kidnapping charges if they don't take her to the airport immediately. Paglu, completely irritated with her, ties her up and, as Amrita looks on speechless, says, “If you want to be kidnapped so much, here you go!â€'

Meanwhile Abhi is extremely agitated, thinking of the worst case scenario why Kartika wasn't there at the airport. He considers calling the hospitals and the police, which makes Paglu nervous. So he devises a simple plan; get Kartika to write Abhi a letter saying that she didn't love him and hence hadn't come to the airport. When Abhi reds this letter, he is completely heart-broken, and Amrita feels really bad for him.

Meanwhile, Paglu starts looking after Kartika, and discovers the logistics of looking after a kidnapped person. One day Kartika tells him to go to her house and pick up some clothes for her. When Paglu goes there and sees the things there, he realizes that nothing that Kartika had said was true - the paintings didn't belong to her dead mother, instead they belonged to another young artist; none of her papers - bank, driver's license, etc - were any older than two months. In fact, everything that they had believed about her was a lie!

Meanwhile, Amrita realizes that Abhi is taking this latest disaster very badly, that he has taken to drinking a lot of alcohol, and decides to do something to cheer him up. She makes a tape of all his ex-girlfriends, a hilarious story of all his wrong choices. At the end of the tape, everyone is laughing, and Abhi is struck by something about Amrita, something that surpasses friendship.

After that he can't get her out of his mind, and finally invites her to a solo dinner where he confesses to her that she has been on his mind a lot. He gets more and more drunk, and talks on about his hurt at being dumped by Kartika and how bad he'll feel if Amrita also left him, etc. Finally, he collapses in an alcoholic haze and Amrita is saddened by the state he is in. She tells him that she has always been in love with him and can't bear to see him in that state.

When Paglu comes by to help her put Abhi to sleep, he explains to her that everything isn't as it seems in Kartika's case. Amrita says that she wants to end this charade for Abhi's sake while Paglu convinces her to let him dig up something in Kartika's past, something that will prevent Kartika from going to the police when they let her go. Amrita agrees.

So Paglu starts off looking for clues in Kartika's past and soon unearths an amazing story. Kartika had run away from a strange home when she was very young. Her family was very happy to see the end of her, and it was obvious that there wasn't much love for her. Kartika had continued through life, using various men - be it her boyfriend in college or her professor - and each one had become completely besotted with her to the extent that when she left them, they would invariably console themselves with drink. A story, not quite unlike Abhishek's.

Meanwhile, Amrita goes to meet Abhi and finds him completely cured of his drinking, and taking an active interest in work. When she asks him how this happened, he confesses to her that her love for him made it possible for him to get better. Amrita is thrilled that her love story has finally started.

When Paglu tells her all that he had found out about Kartika, they decide to meet Abhi to tell him of all their discoveries. But when they get to Abhi's house, they find Kartika already there! They realize that she had escaped and told Abhi all about the kidnapping and Abhi is terribly hurt that his closest friends had lied to him for so long, let him suffer for so long, for their own selfish reasons. He refuses to listen to Amrita or to Paglu and tells them to get out of his life, as he was going to marry Kartika, come what may!

Amrita is shattered by how easily Abhi had ejected her out of his life. Meanwhile, as the preparations for the wedding continue, Abhi is torn about the choice he is making. Finally he speaks to his father who gives him a way of finding what is right for him. But Paglu is still not willing to let go. He gets a call from Kartika's mother with some news and he begs Amrita to reach Abhi's wedding with Kartika's ex-boyfriends while he will get there with another person.

When Amrita reaches the wedding, Abhi is shocked to see her. But more importantly, Kartika's ex-boyfriends are stunned to see Kartika. Amidst the confusion, Paglu lands up with another man - Kartika's husband!

All hell breaks loose when it becomes clear that Abhi will not be able to marry Kartika. But as he explains to Amrita and Paglu, he had already cancelled the wedding - because he loved Amrita. All's well that ends well, and Paglu, happy that his objective has been achieved goes home - to find Kartika there! The two of them, not knowing what to do next, but knowing that perhaps there is a bond between them, settle down in front of his TV, reluctant and yet curious to see what other adventures are coming their way.
