Plot

Mr Joe B. Carvalho (Arshad Warsi) is your (slightly below average) corny-go-lucky private eye in the quest for a truly challenging case that can bring in money and fame and change his fortunes for good. A moneyed Khurana (Shakti Kapoor) hands him a case to find his eloped daughter.

Meanwhile, Joe's ex-girlfriend Inspector ShantiPriya Fadnis (Soha Ali Khan) is chasing an international criminal, Carlos (Jaaved Jaffrey), a lollypop-sucking international terrorist who is in town with a big murder plot. A local underworld don, MK (Vijay Raaz), has been roped in to help Carlos, but with the intention of killing him.

The detective, inspector, and don end up in the terrorist's hotel room, and Joe is mistaken for Carlos. Both MK and Shantipriya are now on his trail, whereas clueless Joe ends up spying on the wrong girl.
