Ishwar (Amitabh Bachchan) and Sumi (Shefali Shah) both adore their only son, Aditya (Akshay Kumar), but with a difference. While Ishwar is totally blind to Adi's faults and indulges him; Sumi well aware of his darling sons shortcomings is always cautioning her husband not to spoil Adi so much. Having come up the hard way, Ishwar feels his son deserves nothing but the best and Adi shamelessly take total advantage of his father's love for him.

As far as Ishwar is concerned Adi can do no wrong and even when he elopes with the girl of his choice Pooja (Priyanka Chopra), the father forgives him readily. Adi on his part has only one obsession - to become a star and is least interested in joining his father's successful toy business. Everything is going smoothly for Adi Pooja is going to have a baby everybody is excited and happy Adi is busy training for his contest when suddenly catastrophe strikes.

Adi is thrown out of his luxurious house and forced to stay in a shabby outhouse. Adi is puzzled and consoles himself that his father is playing some kind of a cruel joke. But his hurt turns fury when he realizes that Ishwar and Sumi has no intention of relenting their doors are shut they don't give a damn what happens to him.

Adi is desperate, there is no food to eat, no electricity just bare walls and bare floors and a pregnant and hungry Pooja.
