Plot
Yash (Sanjay Dutt) and Raj (Akshaye Khanna) are small time crooks and childhood buddies. Raj wants to lead an honest life, but Yash always manages to do something that jeopardizes Raj's chances of turning over a new leaf. When Yash robs the First Village Bank, the innocent bank manager, Zandulal (Paresh Rawal), gets blamed, just because he had sheltered Yash and Raj under his roof. Zandulal finds out that the two crooks fled to Durban. Zandulal begs the Bank Chairman for time to look for the two and prove his innocence.
In Durban, diamonds worth millions have been stolen from the International Diamond Centre by an underworld gang led by Marcos (Suniel Shetty). No witnesses survived the shooting spree caused by his gang. Senior Inspector Arjun Singh (Anil Kapoor) is determined to catch Marcos and his gang. Arjun is married to Kajal (Sushmita Sen), the daughter of the commissioner of the police (Shakti Kapoor). Kajal has a split personality - one moment she's a loving wife and mother, who for 10 minutes everyday, transforms into a terrifying troublemaker who intent on murdering her husband!
Yash and Raj try to avoid Zandulal who does not realise that they are his neighbours. Meanwhile, Raj falls in love with Sanjana (Kangna Ranaut), Kajal's younger sister. He pretends to be arrogant, because he wants her to think that lots of girls are crazy for him. He even gets some girls to do a fake mass suicide because Raj said he loves Sanjana! After he confesses to Sanjana, they plan on getting married. At the engagement, Zandulal encounters Yash and Raj, threatening to expose them unless they return the money they stole from his bank. Cornered, Raj and Yash agree to commit one last robbery. They rob a minister's house, minutes before Marcos arrives. The minister is tortured and killed, because Marcos cannot find the stolen diamonds.
During Sanjana's marriage with Raj, Arjun, along with Kajal's father, arrest Yash, Raj and Zandulal for robbing the ministers house, and are sent to prison. However the plan backfires, with Raj bribing a film director to help him escape. There, Marcos confronts Raj and Yash regarding about the diamonds. Marcos attempts to intimidate them by tying them to a train track in which a train is rushing full speed, but fails because the train rushes at him and his gang instead of Yash and Raj.
Because of the cancellation of Sanjana's marriage, Kajal's fits become worse. She uses guns and knives on Arjun to kill him. Kajal's father tries to get them to divorce, but to no avail.
Yash, kidnaps Sanjana, and together along with Raj win approval from Kajal to help them with their feud with Marcos. They even kidnap one of Marcos' associates, Sofia to intimidate Marcos. To intimidate Marcos further, they dress up for a festival and run away with the diamonds. The diamonds eventually get thrown into a fishtank, and the fish eat them all up.
At the conclusion of the movie, Sofia disappears, never to be seen ever again. Arjun is relocated to another town to start police training from scratch. Marcos and his associates are all arrested, and are sentenced for 40 years in prison for their crimes. Yash and Raj however, start a fishing business, in an attempt to recover their lost diamonds. However, the fates of Sanjana and her father remain unknown.

Reception
Critical response
The film garnered mainly negative reviews from Indian critics. Anupama Chopra of NDTV gave the film one star saying, "No Problem is so staggeringly brain dead and relentlessly tedious that it makes Anees Bazmee’s earlier comedies, Singh is Kinng and Welcome look like classics."[4] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN rated it 1/5 describing the film as "2010's most abysmal comedy."[5] Mayank Shekhar of the Hindustan Times also gave it a one star suggesting, "Why bother with something hilarious when you can just get downright delirious. Of course, that is if you have no problems of your own to deal with."[6] Raja Sen of Rediff too rated the film 1/5 concluding that "No Problem is devoid of taste, flavour and jokes."[7] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it 1.5/5 suggesting "No Problem has some funny moments in the first half, but gets agonizing towards the second half."[8] Nikhat Kazmi of the Times of India gave the only positive review rating the film 3/5 and suggesting that the film "makes you forget your problems, provided you are willing to get goofy and give up your quest for meaning in masala."[9]
