Plot

Arush Mehra(Akshay Kumar)lives a fairly wealthy lifestyle in Sydney, Australia along with two room-mates Tanmay Joglekar, and Ali Haider. He works for a food chain, while Tanmay entertains children as 'Eddy Teddy', while Ali takes care of their apartment. All three are womanizers and usually end up sleeping with different women. One day they find a baby girl right outside their door with a note that tells them to take care of her, since she is the daughter of one of them. The three boys go to all the girls they dated and slept with, and none of them claim that this baby girl is theirs. The boys try to take care of the baby, but she becomes a huge pain, so they drop her off at a church, but then realize they love her, so they take the baby back and name her Angel. They love her, pamper her, and grow a huge attachment towards her. One day, a girl, named Isha, comes to take Angel back, claiming her to be her daughter. The boys are shocked, but that's when Arush tells them about his past.

(1 year ago) Arush travels to Delhi to attend, his cousin Arjun's wedding, and this is where he meets with Isha Sahni, who also resides in Australia, he impresses and wins her over, and they spend a night together, but shortly thereafter Isha catches him in a compromising situation with Devika, Isha's friend, so they both split up. Arush returns to Sydney and forgets about this incident.

Tanmay and Ali are shocked after hearing the story and the boys find it very difficult to live without Angel. Arush ends up challenging Isha that she has to marry someone faithful within 7 days that will accept Angel, if shes not successful she will have to give Angel back to him, so they both sign a contract to make the deal final. The boys worry that they might lose the bet since, Isha is very beautiful and wealthy, Arush makes a plan to win Isha and his daughter Angel back with the help of Ali, Tanmay and Isha's father. Firstly Ali disguises himself up as a freaky, traditional boy, with the help of Isha's father, but it backfires when Isha thinks his good for her and Angel. To scare Isha, Ali attempts to shoot an apple off the top of a boy's head, at a fair, which angers Isha, and she decides not to marry him. Then on the same day Tanmay/Eddy Teddy meets her at the fair, after seeing his affection towards kids, she decides he will be good for Angel and herself.

A few days later, Isha finds out the truth, and plans to fly with Angel on her private jet, since she was fooled and has lost the deal. Tanmay and Ali take the contract with them as well as phoning the police, and get their right on time. Just when the police were about to take Angel away from Isha, Arush comes and tears up the contract and allows Isha and Angel to go their separate ways.

Arush, Tanmay and Ali are nevertheless upset until their bell rings the next day. The boys are amazed because they find Angel at their doorsteps. A few moments later, Isha turns up telling Arush that it was very hard for them both to forget him. She agrees to marry him and on their reception day, she is shocked to learn that her father was having an affair with a woman younger than him.
