[edit] Plot
Three bachelors, Arush (Akshay Kumar), Tanmay (Ritesh Deshmukh) and Ali (Fardeen Khan), are having the time of their lives in Sydney. They flirt and sleep around, never having a serious relationship.
One fine day, Arush, Tanmay, and Ali find a baby on their doorstep. Initially, they resent the responsibilities and duties that the baby, Angel, represents. Before long, however, Angel works her charm and the three lecherous bachelors are transformed into loving, caring father-figures. Then, Arush discovers that Angel is his daughter with an ex-flame, Esha (Vidya Balan). Esha was told that she had given birth to a dead boy, but soon gets wind that Arush has their daughter. Esha and Arush loved each other, but Esha mistakenly believes that Arush cheated on her, and refuses to see Arush any more. Esha wants her child back, and is willing to marry without love so she and Arush can provide a stable home for her daughter, Angel. Arush and his friends make several attempts to reconcile Esha and Arush. Everything fails, and Esha is about to leave the country, when finally Arush manages to convince her of his love for her. All ends well as Esha and Arush get married, and Angel is given a loving family.
