The story is about six couples, who are on their honeymoon with the Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. bus and their trials and tribulations during the four-day-journey. The couples are:

• Oscar Fernandez (Boman Irani) and his wife Nahid (Shabana Azmi) who have just recently married. They are middle-aged and the target of constant mock from everyone else. However, they intent to have a great journey and not be bothered by their difficult pasts. This is their second marriage. Oscar's first wife committed suicide and Nahid's husband and 2 children expired in a car accident. Oscar is Nahid's first husband's business partner. After a chance meeting with Oscar's estranged daughter in Goa, father and daughter mend their relationship.
• Partho Sen (Kay Kay Menon) and Milly Sen (Raima Sen), a couple from small town Bengal.
• Pinky (Amisha Patel) and Vicky (Karan Khanna), hailing from Dehli. They couldn't be more different, as Pinky is very extroverted and Vicky is the opposite. When Vicky sees Bunty for the first time, he develops feelings for him but isn't able to express them.
• Madhu (Sandhya Mridul) and Bunty (Vikram Chatwal) have most recently married. They differences draw from the fact that he is a NRI, a non-resident Indian, while she has lived in Mumbai, India, for her entire life. Bunty is a closet homosexual and his parents want him to marry the daughter of a family friend but out of anxiety he contacted Madhu over the net and came to India and married quickly. Madhu had a recent failed relationship with a man, who she left after discovering that he had a wife and child already. She found Bunty on the internet and married quickly to forget that pain.
• Hitesh (Ranvir Shorey) and Shilpa (Dia Mirza) are both from Gujarat and both of them question the nature of their affiliation, as they wonder if love or marriage is more important in life. During the first half hour, Shilpa runs away with her love, Arjun Rampal. Shilpa and her love board the Honeymoon Travels bus returning to Mumbai, while escaping from contract killers sent by Hitesh's father.
• Aspi (Abhay Deol) and Zara (Minissha Lamba) seemlingly the most perfect couple of them all. They've never fought in their life with each other. And unknown to each other, each of them hide a secret i.e. they are superman and superwoman respectively in reality.

As the bus continues it's journey, it is followed by a mysterious man, dressed in black clothes, wearing a helmet - someone who has still an open business with one of the passengers.
