- Vishwas Rao (Shahid Kapoor) is raised by his mother (Padmini Kolhapure), who hopes that her son will grow up to be a Police Inspector. Vishwas though, wants to become a film hero. To avoid being drafted into police academy, Vishwas deliberately flunks his exams year after year. His mother gets him to go to Mumbai for the state police selection process. Vishwas decides to use this chance to try his fate at Bollywood, to become a hero.
After helping out social worker Kajal (Ileana D'Cruz) whilst dressed as a Police Inspector for a photo shoot, she mistakes him to be an Inspector, and he plays along. Kajal is a social activist & is constantly demanding police action against unsocial elements in society. She is pissed at the inaction of police & is hence very impressed with Vishwas when he helps her out. Kajal makes Vishwas pursue a car with a kidnapped girl. The car belongs to a local goon Gundappa. Due to Vishwas's lucky pursuit, the goons think they are cornered & they abandon the vehicle and girl & run away.
After travelling to Mumbai to pursue his acting career, he is mistakenly published in the newspaper as an Inspector, which his mother sees. She arrives in Mumbai to see her dream come true, and circumstances lead Vishwas to carry on his lie not only to Kajal, but also to his mother. During this course Vishwas is forced to take evil head on & defeat it sometimes through sheer luck, & sometimes through the infinite rage that Vishwas channels when his mother is insulted by goons. Soon, the news of this honest cop who is cleaning Gundappa's gang reaches the commissioner of police, Khare. The commissioner knows that Gundappa's boss Napoleon is coming to Mumbai to execute project "White Elephant". He is keen to recruit Vishwas for the mission to arrest Napoleon.
Meanwhile, by sheer luck, Vishwas continues to disrupt Gundappa's criminal operations. Vishwas & Kajal fall in love. Vishwas's mother comes to know that he is not an inspector while he is shooting for the film. She faints and is admitted to the hospital, where the doctor tells him that she needs to be operated on. He agrees to work for Gundappa for the agreement of getting money for his mother's operation. While escaping after the job he is caught by police and accidentally shoots 2 police officers in his bid to escape & secure the money for his mother's operation.
Gundappa then reveals that the doctor was in fact his man who misguided Vishwas for the need for the operation. he also reveals that his mother is now under Gundappa's custody. Gundappa then forces Vishwas to join his gang on a permanent basis. Via CD, Napoleon reveals to Gundappa that his operation White Elephant is the smuggling of 1000 Kgs of cocaine into India. Khare gets information of this plan & raid the warehouses where the drugs are stored. He almost gets possession when Vishwas attacks Khare & takes him hostage & takes him to Gundappa. But this turns out to be a ruse as this was a pre-planned move between Khare & Vishwas so that Vishwas could gain trust of Gundappa & help Khare eliminate him once & for all. Now Napoleon is revealed to be Vishwas's long feared dead father Yashwant Rao, who was a corrupt village police officer in his day & was chased to his death by the villagers after a brutal period of their persecution. It was Yashwant's corruption that drove his wife to raise his son to be an honest cop who could serve the masses.
Meanwhile, Kajal also enters Gundappa's lair by claiming that she is going to be the mother of Vishwas's child. Gundappa has to allow Kajal in, as Vishwas is his trusted man now. Admist Vishwas, Kajal & Khare in Gundappa's lair, Napoleon comes to India. Khare organizes a police raid to catch Napoleon, but he escapes. Vishwas comes in possession of a black bag that Napoleon brought to India with him. After escaping Napoleon kidnaps Kajal & Vishwas's mom & tells Vishwas to return the black bag. The black bag contains the launch codes to a bio-chemical weapon that Napoleon has installed in Mumbai for a terrorist attack. That is his real mission.
Upon kidnapping Vishwas's mom, Napoleon realizes that she is his wife & that Vishwas is his son. Vishwas hands over the bag to Napoleon, who activates the bombs. But Vishwas gains a gun & threatens to kill Napoleon, when he reveals he is Vishwas's dad. Vishwas pretends to play along & gets Kajal to deactivate the bombs. Meanwhile Khare reaches the Gundappa lair to with his forces to engage Napoleon's forces. Vishwas deactivates the bomb & gets Napoleon arrested. He joins the police force.
