[edit] Synopsis

Amar (Aamir Khan) and Prem (Salman Khan) are two ne'er-do-wells from Mumbai and Bhopal respectively who dream of becoming rich without working for it -- by marrying a rich heiress, Raveena (Raveena Tandon). They meet on a bus and discover that they are both out to win the heiress. Each of them tries various ploys to eliminate his rival, all of which fail ludicrously. In the end, Amar and Prem agree to join forces, insinuate themselves into the heiress' household, and there compete for Raveena's love.

Amar starts annoying Raveena with rubbish. In the end, Raveena, quite fed up with him, hits him with a log of wood. Amar acts as if he is unconscious. He is taken into Raveena's mansion, where he is attended by Prem, pretending to be a doctor. After some skirmishing for Raveena's attention, Prem finds himself increasingly attracted to Karisma (Karisma Kapoor), Raveena's secretary. What Amar and Prem don't know is that Karisma is the real heiress. She switched places with her secretary in an attempt to find a man who would love her for herself, not for her money.

Amar and Prem then concoct an inane plot to win the confidence of the heiress's father Ram Gopal Bajaj(Paresh Rawal) by first kidnapping and then rescuing him. But they do not know that the father's evil twin Teja aka Shyam Gopal Bajaj(Paresh Rawal) has plans to kidnap him too, and start living as him. So both Teja and Amar & Prem send their men to kidnap him. But the evil twin's men take him by rendering the men sent by Amar & Prem unconscious. Amar & Prem then decide that they will really have to rescue him.

But to make things even worse (and funnier), Teja himself has an enemy, Crime Master Gogo (Shakti Kapoor), who then enters the plot. He takes everyone hostage, including Raveena, Karishma, Ram Gopal Bajaj, Teja and his cronies Robert (Viju Khote) and Bhalla (Shehzad Khan) to steal the pracious diamonds that belong to the rich Ram Gopal Bajaj. Amar and Prem go to rescue them all. Comic hilarity ensues and in the end the villains are nabbed by the Police Inspector (Tinku Talsania).
