- Karamveer "Karam" Singh (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a middle-class man living in Mathura and works as a Jagrata performer. He has a special talent of perfectly impersonating a female voice. His father Jagjit Singh (Annu Kapoor) is in huge debts after borrowing multiple loans and is unable to repay them.
Karam is in a relationship with Pari Srivastava (Ananya Panday), a lawyer from a wealthy family. Pari tells her father everything about her relationship to Karam, and he visits Karam and Jagjit manor. The manor is in a bad condition and not repaired for many years. The manor has been mortgaged for a loan of Rs 40 Lakhs and Jagjit had told the creditors that he would pay them with dowry from Karam's wedding to Pari. Pari's father Jaipal Srivastava (Manoj Joshi) says that he will get Pari married to Karam only if he is able to land a high paying job, a bank balance of Rs 25 Lakhs, and buy a house of his own, within six months. Pari is not willing to elope with Karam but will sell her mother's jewels to help fulfill Jaipal's conditions. Karam is touched by this gesture and vows to do anything.
In order to earn quick money, Karam disguises as a woman going by the alias "Pooja" and becomes a dancer at a bar owned by Sona Bhai (Vijay Raaz). The job pays Rs 10,000 per night in salary and tips. Pari remains unaware of this.
Tiger Pandey (Ranjan Raj) is the collection agent at a bank, where Karam has a credit card which Karam has not paid for several months. When Tiger calls, Karam pretends to be Karam's wife Pooja. Pooja flirts with Tiger, who adjusts the credit card payment date. Tiger starts a phone relationship with Pooja.
Karam's best friend Smiley Singh Dhillon (Manjot Singh) is in love with Sakina (Anusha Mishra), the daughter of the hostile Abu Saleem (Paresh Rawal). Abu says that he will get Sakina married only after his son Shah Rukh Saleem (Abhishek Bannerjee) is married. Shah Rukh is in depression ever since he had a breakup with his lover six months ago. Abu says that he will give a reward of Rs.10 Lakhs to the person who manages to get Shah Rukh out of depression. Smiley requests Karam to pose as "Pooja" and pretend to be a psychiatrist for treating Shah Rukh.
Karam as "Pooja" manages to cheer Shah Rukh up. Abu is overjoyed and says that he wants "Pooja" to be Shah Rukh's bride and Yusuf Ali Salim Khan (Asrani), Shah Rukh's wheelchair-bound grandfather says that he will pay "Pooja" Rs. 50 Lakhs for getting married to Shah Rukh. Karam, seeing the opportunity of making a lot of money, decides to go ahead with the wedding, and then abscond later. On the first night after the wedding, Yusuf sees "Pooja" urinating like a man and dies of shock.
Abu says that as per their family tradition, when someone from the family dies, no family member can get married for the next six months, meaning Smiley cannot get married to Sakina. Moreover, before dying Yusuf had written a message on the wall which read - "Daughter-in-law boy". Everyone assumes that he wanted "Pooja" to give birth to a baby boy as a last wish, putting the pressure on "Pooja" to get pregnant, which would practically be impossible. Jagjit has received only half of the promised Rs 50 Lakhs from Abu and asks Karam to stay on till they recover the balance Rs 25 Lakhs.
Tiger keeps calling Pooja and she claims that her husband Karam has come back and that she cannot speak to Tiger anymore. Tiger arrives at Pooja's home, and mistakes Pari as Pooja.
As "Pooja" cannot go to the bar to dance regularly anymore, Sona Bhai keeps calling her and asking her to come back to work. He also says that he wants to marry her, so that post his divorce, his children do not feel the absence of a mother. Pooja asks Sona Bhai to take care of Tiger, so he does not harass her anymore. Sona Bhai thrashes Tiger.
Abu's adopted son Shaukya (Rajpal Yadav) is also attracted to "Pooja" and keeps flirting with her and trying to impress her. Meanwhile, Abu misunderstands that Karam is actually "Pooja"'s brother. Abu's sister Jumani (Seema Pahwa) is attracted to Karam and comes to Jagjit to propose her marriage with Karam. Jumaji is Sona Bhai's ex-wife. Jagjit, who is attracted to her, misunderstands that she is talking about her marriage with himself. He later realizes the truth when he goes on to exchange engagement rings with Jumani, and she clears his confusion. Shaukya sees Sona dropping Pooja home and believes that Pooja is cheating on Shah Rukh. Abu refuses to authorize Jumani's wedding to Karam, as then she would divorce Sona Bhai, and he would marry Pooja. And Abu does not want that.
One night, while in the bedroom with Shah Rukh, "Pooja"'s wig comes off revealing Karam's facade. Shah Rukh is shocked and reveals that he is actually gay, and Abu forcefully had him breakup with his boyfriend so that he can get married to a girl instead. Shah Rukh keeps Karam's facade a secret from his family. Sakina throws her positive pregnancy test out of the window and it lands on Shaukya. He assumes that Pooja is pregnant, and Abu is thrilled. He throws a grand party. Shah Rukh tells Abu that Pooja cannot get pregnant due to a medical issue.
Sometime later, Jumani asks Karam out on a date and proposes to him with a rose. Pari who happens to be there coincidentally, misunderstands that Karam is cheating on her with Jumani and breaks up with him.
As "Pooja" cannot get pregnant, Abu takes her to Baby Baba (Sudesh Lehri), a spiritual guru who can miraculously get women to become pregnant. He asks "Pooja" and Shah Rukh to take a dip in the holy Ganges River. While doing so, "Pooja" escapes, making everyone believe that she has died by drowning and a memorial service is held for her. Tiger and Sona Bhai are devastated that Pooja is dead.
Karam learns that Pari is getting married to another man and rushes to the wedding ceremony. He performs a dance as "Pooja", making Pari realize the truth. Karam talks about all the hardships he faced out of his love for Pari and to get married to her. Everyone else also arrives there and all the confusion is cleared. Karam confronts Jaipal about his class driven mentality, and he realizes his mistake and gets Karam and Pari married in a grand ceremony.
