They are soon attracted to each other and Bablu falls in love with her. However, one day, the police arrive at his doorstep, arresting him thinking he is Manu Dada (Shahrukh Khan). When Manu learns of his duplicate, he decides to switch roles with him and kill him in order to start afresh.

With the help of police and Manu's girlfriend Lily (Sonali Bendre), the cook is able to rescue his dear ones and all ends well.
I can't hear a single word you're saying
Well perhaps it's time you started using your brains
This arrangement you've made
Do you know the risk you're taking
Look I understand every pleasure needs it's pain
You know I could never compete
With someone
Whose heart is so indiscreet
You never
Know what she's going to say or do
Every time you talk to her
I lose
How can I be sure
I know you've felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you
All my life this has been my favourite dream
So you should be glad I've made it flesh for you
But now that we're here I don't like what I'm feeling
Well we've gone too far so now you've got to choose
You know I could never compete
With someone
Whose heart is so indiscreet
You never
Know what she's going to say or do
Every time you talk to her
I lose
How can I be sure
I know you've felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you
Well she looked at me
As I ran far the door
There was nothing between us any more
As I pressed the key
I could see her heart
Starting to beat
While yours had stopped
How can I be sure
I know you've felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
