Dil Maange More is the story of Nikhil Mathur’s (Shahid Kapoor) quest for true love. His passion in life is his village Samarpur, and soccer. He is desperate to fall in love with one woman but ends up with three women in his arms ready to swear undying love for him.
He is first shown in love with Neha (Soha Ali Khan), his girlfriend of four years. Neha, an ambitious girl, leaves their village to go to Mumbai to become a flight attendant. Nikhil follows her to Mumbai to bring her back. In Mumbai, Nikhil falls in love with Shagun (Ayesha Takia). Though the two part ways, fate has something else in store for them, as he comes and starts living above Shagun's house. The next day, Nikhil tries to convince Neha to return but he does not succeed. As luck would have it, he lands himself a job in a music store, which is run by A.R. Rehman (a parody of A.R. Rahman) (Gulshan Grover), exactly opposite the institute where Neha is training. There, he meets Sarah (Tulip Joshi) who also works at the music store and is friends with Neha. Nikhil keeps trying to convince Neha, but only gets rejection. He eventually ends up falling in love with Sarah as well.
However, Sarah's ex boy-friend comes and takes her away, which disheartens Nikhil. When he is invited to Shagun's home, he reads Shagun's computer diary and comes to know that she is actually in love with him. He proposes to Shagun and she accepts, but things turn as Neha returns, wanting him back. When Shagun sees Neha hugging Nikhil, she leaves, and Nikhil breaks up with Neha. A.R. Rehman then fixes Shagun up with Nikhil but Sarah also comes, saying she left her boyfriend for him. She hugs him and again Shagun sees them and goes berserk.
One day, A.R. Rehman arranges a party at a yacht where all the girls attend. There, they argue and all three fall in the water. Nikhil quickly goes for help but only saves Shagun, as is told to Shagun. Meanwhile, Nikhil, thinking that he has lost Shagun forever, returns to Samarpur. Shagun finally realizes that Nikhil really loves her and follows him to Samarpur, where the two decide to live there happily ever after. As Shagun is confessing her love, we see Neha, Sarah, and A.R. Rehman saying that their plan was successful, implying that everything was just an act to get Nikhil and Shagun together.
