Indian-born Manmohan Malhotra (Rishi Kapoor) re-located to London, England, established himself,

returned to India, married Bebo (Nina Wadia), and after four years got a visa for her so that she
could live with him. Shortly thereafter, she gave birth to Jasmeet (Katrina Kaif). Manmohan was
always embarrassed by Bebo as she was fat and could not speak English. As a result, he always left
her out of important occasions, while he socialised. Bebo did not want Jasmeet to end up like her, so
she got her educated in an English school, encouraged her to mingle with British friends, and
Jasmeet was transformed into Jazz – a beautiful young woman, modern in looks, talk, habits, and
heart.
Her father had set her to meet a young lad, Bobby Bedi (Ritesh Deshmukh), though the date turns
out to be a disaster and Bobby rejects her. Manmohan thinks that it is impossible to get him an
Indian son-in-law, although his British Pakistani friend, Parvez Khan (Javed Sheikh), is in a similar
situation with his son, Imran (Upen Patel), who has a blonde girlfriend, Susan (Tiffany Mulheron).
Manmohan takes his family for a tour in India and forces Jasmeet to marry Arjun Singh (Akshay
Kumar) who does not know how to speak English.
On their return to London, Jasmeet announces that she will marry Charlie Brown (Clive Standen),
who is well educated and has good friends and connections, even with Prince Charles. She refuses
to recognise her marriage to Arjun as there is no legal proof of the wedding. When Jasmeet is
introduced to the friends of the Brown family, she is subjected to considerable abuse (snake
charmers, Indian rope tricks, tandoori chicken) as well as a quote from Winston Churchill: 'When we
leave India, the country will be in the hands of goons'. Arjun then tells the gentleman about the
achievements of India which includes about the derivation of English words from Sanskrit like
'Father', 'Brother' , 'Trignometry' and 'Geometry'. During this period, Jazz becomes close with Arjun
who still supports her. Charlie Brown then has a rugby match against the Indians and Arjun, with the
Indians emerging triumphant and Brown is verbally abusive towards the Indians. Imran is then asked
by Susan's parents to leave Islam, become a Christian, change his name to Emmanuel or Ian, as
well as provide written proof that his family is not associated with terrorists. The film ends on a happy
note when Imran decides not to be a Christian and Susan is accepted by Imran's family; Jazz
realises that Arjun lied to her about not knowing English and runs away from her wedding to Charlie
Brown, and goes with Arjun back to India where they are seen riding Arjun's motorcycle. While they
are on the motorcycle Arjun reveals that all along he knew how to speak English, but never had any
doubt about being a Punjabi at heart.
