Raju (Salman Khan) is a business man in India. His mother had died when he was very young. His father had got his mum pregnant and left. He thought he had died. He sees on TV that Rajesh Mithal (Rishi Kapoor) has won business man of the year award. Rajesh Mithal is none other than Raju’s dad. Raju is very happy. He leaves immediately for London.

At the airport he encounters with Sonia Singh (Amisha Patel) who has too much luggage and tries to get Raju to hold it but Raju understands her plan and it backfires on Sonia. He goes to Rajesh and tells him that he is Miss Saxena’s son. He cracks it at Rajesh because he had gotten his mother pregnant and told her that he’d be back in eight days as he’s going to London and he’d tell his dad, Purshottam Mithal (Kader Khan) about their affair. But he didn’t come back as he didn’t have a chance to tell his dad and his dad got Rajesh married to Smitha (Rati Agnihotri). They have two kids Rinkie (Rinkle Khanna) and Bunty. Rinkie is about to get married to Vicky (Sharad Kapoor) but she is unaware of his drug dealings. Raju gives Rajesh eight days to break the news to his family and call Raju his son or he’ll tell the family himself. He tells Rajesh to make his accommodation in a good five-star hotel. Rajesh takes Raju to his friend Robin Singh’s (Anupam Kher) mansion.

There he meets Sonia again and learns that she is Robin’s daughter. They gradually fall in love. On the eighth day Raju goes to Rajesh’s mansion but learns that no one is home as they have gone on a holiday. Raju decides to go back to India and Robin tells Rajesh the good news. They are both happy. Rajesh tells Robin to bring Sonia and himself to the place that they are at. Raju over hears that and gets into the boot of Robin’s car so he can also go with them.

Rajesh is horrified when he sees Raju come. Raju stays with the family at the resort. Rajesh finds out that Raju’s visa has expired and he calls the police. They take Raju. Purshottam Mithal is at the airport as he has come back from America and Raju sees him. Raju tells him that he knows Rajesh. Purshottam renews Raju’s visa and takes him back to the Mithal mansion.

When Rajesh gets home he thinks that he will have no problems with Raju. But he is mistaken and he sees Raju at his mansion. A few days later Rajesh has to go to a conference overseas and Raju accompanies him. The company that Rajesh is in a partnership with is blaming Rajesh for no sales lately. Raju then explains to the company that it’s their fault because their products are crap. Rajesh tells Raju to be quiet but the company urges Raju to go on. The say to Raju to come and join their company but he says he can’t leave Rajesh. Rajesh is very happy with Raju and he gets drunk and he calls Raju his son.

When Rajesh gets up in the morning, Raju has bought in breakfast. Raju says thank you to Rajesh once again for calling him son. Rajesh says that he didn’t call him son. Raju then gets angry and cracks it at Rajesh. Raju says that he will go back to India but before he does he has to fulfil his duty as a brother.

Raju catches Vicky red-handed as he is talking to his partners about dealing drugs. Raju shows Rajesh and Rinkie the truth and Rinkie is devastated. Rajesh hits Vicky and Vicky shoots Rajesh.

Rajesh is taken to the hospital. Both of his kidneys have failed and he needs a kidney. Purshottam offers his but he is diabetic so he can’t. Smitha does to but her blood group doesn’t match Rajesh’s. Smitha says that Bunty will but he denies as he wants to be a pop singer. She says Rinkie will but she denies to as she wants to have babies when she is older. The next morning Purshottam tells the doctor that he has called all his relatives and one of them at least will be able to give a kidney. The doctor tells him not to worry as someone has already given one. He asks who but the doctor says that the person has asked to keep him anonymous.

In the end, Rajesh confesses to the family that Raju is his son. Raju says he is lying ad Rajesh is confused. He says to Raju didn’t you want me to say this? And Raju says why are you lying you’re not my father. But Raju does confess and everyone finds out that Raju was the one who gave a kidney to Rajesh. Purshottam and Smitha aren’t mad at Rajesh but in fact happy that Raju is related to them. They live happily.
