Raj (Abhishek Bachchan) lives in New York with his mother, Dr. Malhotra (Suhasini Muley). They are very close and share a great rapport. But there is one issue they can't see eye to eye on: his mother wants him to settle down… Raj won't hear of an arranged marriage. When Raj visits India for his Cousin's wedding, his maternal uncle, Rakesh (Satish Shah) emotionally blackmails him into agreeing to arrange meetings with eligible girls. To make matters worse, the person his Uncle chooses as the matchmaker and go-between for these meetings is the one person Raj has already antagonized in his 24 hours in Mumbai. That person is Namrata (Aishwarya Rai), Raj's uncle's favorite employee at his design studio. She is only too happy to put Raj through this torture. After a series of meeting with potential brides, it becomes apparent to Namrata that finding a match for this particular suitor is not only a nightmare, but an exercise in futility. In the process of fighting over the correct way to seek out a soul mate, the two discover that love is something that can't be arranged.
