Plot[link]

Sameer (Salman Khan) is a hot-tempered guy who is very unlucky in love. His fiance (Amrita Arora) left him because of his aggression. To get away from everything, he leaves for Goa, where he meets Rani (Priyanka Chopra) and instantly falls in love with her. After many attempts at befriending her and a rough start with her father (Amrish Puri), Rani and Sameer become friends.

Sunny (Akshay Kumar) then moves into the same house as Sameer and causes a lot of trouble between the two. It is evident that Sunny is out to ruin Sameer's relationship with Rani so that he can steal Rani away from him. He is constantly doing bad things and blaming Sameer for them, while taking credit for all of Sameer's good deeds. His actions aggravate Sameer and ignite his temper, making his relationships rocky. Though it is evident that Rani only loves Sameer very very much and thinks Sunny as her just very good friend, she can not express her love for Sameer due to her father's fear. But Rani's mother tells her to unite with Sameer if she really loves him.

At the end, Sameer expresses his true love for Rani, proposing to her in front of a huge crowd. Rani accepts and Sunny reveals that he is really Sameer's childhood best friend Arun, and that he only wanted to help Sameer. The best friends reunite with a hug and Sameer and Rani get married, with Arun conducting the wedding.
