Prem is a Love Guru who solves the love issues of his clients. Bhaskar Diwakar Chaudhary comes to Prem for help. Bhaskar loves his boss, Priya Jaisingh, but is unable to express it as she is the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Prem initially refuses to help Bhaskar and goes to Phuket, Thailand. Bhaskar follows him and convinces him to help. After returning from Thailand, Prem meets Naina, a photojournalist fleeing from Chhota Don, who mimics Shahrukh Khan in Don. Prem saves her and falls in love with her. Meanwhile, he starts teaching Bhaskar how to impress Priya. But rather than Prem's tactics, Bhaskar's own simplicity and nonsense endears him to Priya, who falls in love with him. Prem learns that Naina has a son named Rohan from her previous marriage, and to impress her, takes care of him. Bhaskar reveals to Prem that Priya will marry someone according to her father's will. The two attend Priya's wedding ceremony with Rohan, who convinces his mother to marry Prem while Priya's father is convinced by Bhaskar. Priya prepares to marry Bhaskar. Meanwhile, a spoilt brat named Neil Bakshi asks Prem to convince a girl to have a one-night stand. Prem angrily tells him that he does not help people with bad intentions. Neil manages to get his one-night stand anyway and ditches the girl, telling her the love guru gave him the advice to do so. The girl turns out to be Naina's friend Nikki. Naina finds out the Love Guru is Prem. She hates Prem and publishes a front-page article exposing him and using Priya-Bhaskar's relationship as an example. Bhaskar is fired from his job as a result. Prem tells Priya what really happened. Priya realizes that all the things she liked about Bhaskar are what Prem wanted Bhaskar to hide from her and is ready to take Bhaskar back. Prem makes up with Naina by making her hear the truth about him not helping Neil. The two happily marry their partners.
