[edit] Plot

Uday Shetty (Nana Patekar), Saagar (Anil Kapoor) and their boss RDX (Feroz Khan) are three notorius dons. Uday is very keen to get his sister, Sanjana Shetty (Katrina Kaif) married into a virtuous family. Unaware of Uday's underworld profession, Dr. Ghungroo (Paresh Rawal) gets ready to arrange his nephew Rajiv Saxena's (Akshay Kumar) marriage to Uday's sister Sanjana. Meanwhile, Sanjana is unaware of her brother's plan about her marriage with Rajiv. On learning that Uday is a don, Ghungroo flees with Rajiv. Rajiv meets Sanjana and the two fall in love. Dr. Ghungroo does not realise that she is a sister of a don. Uday sent Majnu to go to Ghungroo and inform him that Sanjana cannot marry Rajiv as she loves somebody else (who is Rajiv) while Rajiv goes to meet Uday to speak to him about his marriage with Sanjana. Confusion and chaos result when Ghungroo belatedly realises that Sanjana is Uday's sister and Uday realises that Rajiv is Dr. Ghungroo's nephew. Their engagement day dawns where Rajiv and Sanjana, true lovers are full of bliss and delight. But their happiness ends when stunning Isha-Ishika (Mallika Sherawat) comes into the picture and claims that she is Rajiv's fiance′e. This drama done by Isha-Ishika was set by Dr. Ghungroo who didn't want to approve his nephew's marriage in a Don family. To get married, Sanjana and Rajiv try to change Uday, Majnu and RDX using Isha-Ishika. After thicks and thins, they make the impossible, possible by really removing the DON-GIRI from them.
