Three of them are always rejected from a administration to college, except Vishnu who is selected to St. Peters College, the highest rated college of Delhi. Realizing his friends troubles, Vishnu decides to quit St. Peters unaware of his dad knowing that he has. The four friends decide to make their own college named "Fakirchand and Lakirchand Trust University [F.A.L.T.U]". They get Riteshs childhood friend "Google" [Arshad Warsi] to help them by buying a building for the college. The three tell their parents they have finally been selected to a college, with Vishnus dad still believing he works in St. Peters. Their parents come to see the college, and Google rents some fake looking students to make their parents believe they are real students. But some real students show up for an admission, and therefore Google creates the college and hires Bajirao [Ritesh Deshmukh] as the principal. When the police investigate that it is a fake college, they are called to court. So they decide to get Google Chand to play as a fake lawyer. The four friends parents fall out, except Riteshs father, who supports him the whole way through. They then decide to do a talent show at St. Peters College, where Vishnus father [Akbar Khan]interrupts them while they are performing, and abuses as well as embarrasses them. That is when guest star Mithun Chakraborty enters, and explains the true meaning of learning, education, life and F.A.L.T.U. Later on, after the show ends, all the parents realize their folly, embrace their children, and F.A.L.T.U finally becomes a real college.

Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN mostly gave it negative reviews like calling its comedy "dumb" by rating it 1.5 out of 5 and stating "It doesnt help when you just USED advantage of attractive cast like Arshad Warsi and Ritesh Deshmukh only because there actually good, the main actors dont even have one acting bone between them, and that the film feels much longer than its roughly two hours running time."

It works! I completely agree. Yes, the "inspiration" from the Hollywood films is there too. But as a true blue, bfdnoiae Bollywood masala film...it rocks! The first thing that struck me was the way he showed Bombay in this film. For once, and for a change, we see Bombay as this hip, fast-paced, urban city with neat flyovers, stylish skyscrapers, the sea that's the USP here, the Gateway and places like Leopold's which now co-exist with Olive and Vie etc. There were a lot of shots on top of high-rises so u can see the skyline almost all the time. A great relief and a tad more credible than the Bombay of RGV films which is very ugly, seamy and murky,filled with dark chawls and ugly, potbellied gangster type men!The experiment with music is very refreshing. Using musicians from Sweden and Denmark, moving away from the conventional did work well with the people. And the Right Here Right Now song can safely be called India's first tastefully done kitsch video.And Rohan Sippy's cool insouciance as he plugged two of his other films (Kuch Na Kaho and the forthcoming Taxi zzzz) in this one, left me grinning!
