Jai (Sanjay Dutt) and Veeru (Govinda) are good friends and also partners in crime, thus their friendship is named Jodi No. 1. They first gain the confidence of people and later con them. But soon they have to run from Bombay after an encounter with a local Bhai, because they end up having a brawl with his younger brother (Rajat Bedi) and they by accident kill him in a night club. While on the run, Jai and Veeru meet Vikram Jeet (Aashif Sheikh), an NRI, who is on his way to work as a manager, in Goa, for Rai Bahadur (Anupam Kher), a wealthy businessman who owns a beer factory.

Jai pretends to be Vikram Jeet and both he and Veeru move into Rai Bahadur's house intending to befriend then rob him. However, they fall in love with Rai Bahadur's daughters (Monica Bedi and Twinkle Khanna) and in a series of hilarious scenes, save the family from Sir John (Ashish Vidyarthi). In the end, while Jai is stealing money from Rai to release Veeru from Sir John, the entire Rai clan is watching the news and find out that Jai and Veeru are not who they claim to be, but con men. In the end, Rai then lets Jai go with the money to save Veeru and all goes well and they marry the daughters of Rai.

Reception

Writing for Rediff.com, Nidhi Taparia called the film "as humorous as canned laughter" and opined that both Khanna and Bedi "up the glam factor" but "might as well not have acted in the film". She felt that Ashish Vidyarthi, Sayaji Shinde, Shakti Kapoor and Anupam Kher are "wasted" in the film.[2] Taran Adarsh wrote in his 2-star review for Bollywood Hungama, that the film "will settle to the average category" and if it belonged to anybody it was Govinda. He added that Khanna "oozes oomph" and Bedi added "glamour to the proceedings."[3]

According to Box Office India the film had an excellent opening. Altogether it made Rs.28 Crores and was declared a "Hit" by Box Office India.[4] It was also the fifth highest-grossing film of the year. (Bollywood films of 2001).

gollark: Depends on use pattern - do you want to read only, or read and write lots, or what? In general probably not.
gollark: So yes, anyway, there's non-computer progress and dismissing the computer progress is stupid.
gollark: Modern general purpose compression algorithms are also somewhat better than they were and improving.
gollark: 100Gbps and up networking is also apparently a thing which exists for data centres and whatnot now, even if most of us peasants are still stuck on 1Gbps.
gollark: FHD and up ones being everywhere is seemingly more recent.
