At a shopping centre Arjun falls in love at first sight with Zoya (Sonal Chauhan) who is a call centre executive. While admiring a diamond ring, Zoya's loses interest in the ring on seeing its price tag. She moves on. Arjun all the while watching her, smashes the glass to fetch the ring, in the process is caught by the security guard and handed over to the police.

This chance meeting with Zoya gives him the reasons he was looking for to move out of his ordinary life. He steps up from playing small-time card games to becoming a bookie. Stuck in a triangle of sorts between the woman he loves and his addiction to make a quick buck, Arjun starts making money betting on cricket matches. Using his instincts, he makes more money, pays off his debts to a ruthless local money lender. He is encouraged and pushed (willingly) into the world of match fixing, since he always craved to make big money.



Arjun and Zoya are expecting a child. Mumbai Police detectives land up in South Africa to bust the international betting racket. Arjun is in focus and kept on watch. Being an impulsive gambler, having dreams of creating a "Jannat" (heaven) for his lady love and the expected child, Arjun decides to take the last chance of his life…..

Music director Pritam is credited with two most memorable songs - Char Din ki lambi judai… and Jara si dil mein jagah de tu.

Sonal Chauhan in her debut film is charming and acts well. The handsome boy next door Emraan Hashmi has come out with the first big solo hit in his career. The role suits him and he is appropriate as the compulsive gambler. Vipin Sharma is the typical middle class father with ethics. Vishal Malhotra is apt in his role as Arjun's best friend, Samir Kochar as the Mumbai cop is another good discovery for Bollywood. Hope to see more of Samir Kochar. Jawed Sheikh appears as almost a real Don who is just remarkable.
