The story follows two friends & roommates. The Gujarati rebel Jignesh "Jerry" Patel (Akshay Kumar) and clean simpleton Nick Mathur (John Abraham), who live in London and are both hit hard by recession. Jerry does odd jobs for a living as he is an undergraduate, but Nick has a white-collar job in an investment bank and makes good money. However, both find themselves jobless due to the economic downturn. Jerry has a little, school-going nephew Veer (Master Virej Desai) to look after as the child has lost both his parents. Nick is to marry his girlfriend, Radhika Awasthi (Deepika Padukone), who dreams of a lovely wedding, a great honeymoon and a wonderful house to live in after marriage. Jerry & Nick have been friends since college and Jerry hates Radhika, even though he was instrumental in the 2 meeting together for the first time. Jerry feels that Radhika is only interested in Nick's money.Out of job, Jerry finds it difficult to even pay the school fees of his nephew because of which the government is on the verge of giving the custody of his nephew to a foster family. Nick fears, he won't be able to fulfill the dreams of his to-be wife. Radhika decides to leave for India, but before going tells Nick of the story of her friend who broke up with her fiance when he lost his job. Nick is afraid of losing Radhika & says nothing. It is to tide over the difficult times that Jerry and Nick turn to the oldest profession in the world. Offered by a male stranger (Sanjay Dutt), Jerry and Nick become male escorts for the company "Desi Boyz", fulfilling the costume fantasies of girls and ladies.Ironically, Jerry can't ultimately prevent his nephew from being sent to a foster home, when the social services find that he is a male escort & a potentially bad influence for Veer; and Nick loses Radhika when she learns of what he has been up to while she is away in India. Frustrated, Nick blames Jerry for forcing him into the profession and asks him to move out of his house and life. Nick now tries hard to win Radhika back and help comes from the most unlikely source - Radhika's father Suresh (Anupam Kher) who has come to London with her.Meanwhile, Jerry registers in college again to complete his graduation so that he can earn enough money to get his nephew back home. In college, Jerry meets Tanya Sharma (Chitrangada Singh) who used to be his over-sized classmate and is now a hot and a sexy professor in the same college. Sparks fly between Jerry and Tanya. To make Nick jealous, Radhika dates a man named Ajay (Omi Vaidya). Nick starts to pick on Ajay, often calling him Vijay purposely. After some reconsideration, Radhika forgives Nick, but Nick rejects her after she disapproves of Jerry. Meanwhile, Jerry graduates college and also wins Tanya's heart. Nick comes and apologizes to Jerry. All is forgiven when Nick and Jerry reconcile. Jerry then helps Radhika win back Nick.Nick then helps Jerry get a decent high paying job, and Jerry decides to go to court and get back the custody of his nephew. Ajay turns out to be the lawyer against Jerry's case. He decides to get revenge on Nick for taking Radhika away from him by not letting Jerry win his case. Ajay tells the court about Jerry being a male escort and what a bad role model he would be towards his nephew. He then brings in 3 witnesses to testify against Jerry. He asks each of them if they had paid Jerry for sex; all but one say no. Ajay is on the verge of winning. But Jerry makes an inspiring speech to the judge. The case is decided in his favor and he ends up winning and gaining full custody of Veer. The recession ends and everyone is happily living their lives.
