Bablu (super Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan) an aspiring chef, works in a hotel restaurant where Sonia
Kapoor (Juhi) works as banquet manager. His
lookalike, Manu (also played by Shah Rukh Khan), is a gangster who robs a bank along with his
friend (Gulshan Grover) but gets caught. He emerges from prison and
discovers that his accomplice has double-crossed him. He murders his partner
and escapes from the scene of the crime...but without the money. Bablu
stumbles on the money and keeps it.
Manu's lover, Lily (Sonali Bendre),
mistakes Bablu for Manu and spirits him away. Manu takes shelter in
Bablu's house and realizes that he can use his looks to his
advantage. The fun-ride starts as Bablu is constantly mistaken
for Manu. With both Sonia and Lily after him, the law thinking him to
be Manu, Bablu faces a tough time. Then Manu kidnaps Bibi (Farida
Jalal), Bablu's mother and holds her hostage. It's all for laughs.
