Plot

Posing as a movie director, a conman attempts to trick an entire village into helping him rob a treasure-laden train.

A stylish Tabrez Khan (Akshay Kumar) is depicted as Tees Maar Khan, a smart conman. He proclaims himself as semi-Robin Hood, who steals from the rich but does not give it to the poor. His life revolves around robbery and frequent visits to jail. Hired by a robbers' duo, the Johari brothers (Rajiv and Raghu), he plans to rob a train full of treasures, thus making it the greatest phenomenon in his life. On his way, he encounters an Oscar-obsessed film star (Akshaye Khanna), a seductive-and-desiring-to-be-a-superstar-some-day girlfriend (Katrina Kaif) and to accompany him in this heist, an entire village. What follows is a brain-less comedy that heralds the Tees Maar Khan's journey through mystics of the robbery.—Chechs

After being apprehended and held by Interpol in Paris, Tabrez Mirza Khan, born from a Bollywood movie-addicted woman, manages to give Agents Chatterjee and Mukherjee the slip and returns home to his now widowed mother and sweetheart, Anya Khan. He finds out about a treasure-laden train and in the company of his entourage, travels to a village named Dhulia, where he decides to con the residents into believing that robbing the train is part of the filming. He also inducts a prominent Oscar-craving Bollywood actor, Aatish Kapoor, to be the lead character in this movie. But his venture will run into problems with the entry of his mother,followed closely by Agents Chatterjee and Mukherjee, Commissioner Khadak Singh, and a headless horseman.—rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)

Commissioner Khadak Singh (Sachin Khedekar) is addressing an assembly of police officers, among whom is his junior accomplice, Inspector Jagtap (Vijay Patkar), over an occasion to celebrate the recovery of antique artifacts. Singh has his suspicion set on the Johri brothers, two Siamese twins, who have been in the eyes of the Interpol. However, as he explains, while Singh has the responsibility of transporting these artifacts to Delhi without any interruptions, he is clear that the Johri brothers will desperately find a way out, but each of the possible talented con artists and thieves they might choose has been ruled out through Singh's efforts (Ismail Koyla (He is very black and he uses his shiny teeth for light) and Master India (son of Mr India, who uses the invisibility bracelet for theft)). at that moment, he receives and spreads word that the third and final con artist, wanted criminal Tabrez Mirza Khan a.k.a. Tees Maar Khan a.k.a. TMK (Akshay Kumar), has been arrested at an airport in Paris, and is being brought to India.

While in the process of being deported back to India for him to be produced before the police and ultimately be sent to prison, Tabrez, completely handcuffed, is picked up by CBI officers Chatterjee (Aman Verma) and Mukherjee (Murli Sharma), who warn him that he won't be able to escape from prison a 26th time around, but he laughs it off, claiming that he will go home and not to prison.

Aboard the flight is aviation minister Pankaj Shukla's daughter Malavika (Mia Uyeda), who gets into an argument with one of the flight attendants over the issue of her pet, Penny. The chief pilot tries to intervene but fails to settle the friction between the two. Tabrez uses this to his advantage by first jacking the cockpit on the pretext of using the washroom and later pushing an asleep Chatterjee's leg out of seat, which results in the attendant unwittingly losing control and spilling a drink over Penny, causing Malavika to burst into anger, while the pilots come out to resolve the dispute, and discover, to the horror of both themselves and unwittingly the passengers as well, that the flight has been left in autopilot mode, and since the door is jammed, the flight could possibly crash land.

The ensuing commotion results in a middle-aged woman aboard the flight seeking out Chatterjee and Mukherjee for help, but in the officers' audacity to refuse, Chatterjee ends up unwittingly exclaiming loudly that Tabrez can open the lock. However, when Tabrez initially rebuffs the requests of the passengers, they, in all ire, free Tabrez from the two officers (who are gagged and bound), and he, in turn, manages to open the cockpit for the pilots, thereby becoming a hero in the eyes of the passengers. when the plane lands, he is able to trick the waiting police by poising, all dressed up, as a rich man.

Shortly after he relays this entire episode to his sidekicks Burger (Ali Asgar), Dollar (Dharampal) and Soda (Vijay Maurya), who have come to pick him up at the airport, Tabrez drives away and expresses his desire to go home and meet his mother and his wife, Anya Khan (Katrina Kaif), but Burger reveals that Anya isn't at home and has been shooting for a film titled "Sheila Ki Jawani". Tabrez, visibly irked, decides to hijack the film's shooting, and in the process, smashes the director on his head and drags her home. Anya protests, nearly exposing Tabrez in front of his mother (Apara Mehta), who is under the impression that he is a renowned film director himself. Chatterjee and Mukherjee appear at his house but are thrown out by his mother and Anya.

Tabrez next makes a deal (for 50% of the shipment) with the Johri brothers to hijack the train with the help of a few unwitting villagers, who he is supposed to trick into doing so and smuggling the goods into a truck for the brothers, by posing as an international film director. During one of the two meetings in which this is finalized, well known superstar Aatish Kapoor (Akshaye Khanna) arrives as a guest of honor at the local Dandiya event where Tabrez and the Johri brothers are randomly chosen for the prize, but they are spotted by Chatterjee and Mukherjee and instead decide to flee by creating commotion, causing Aatish to storm out in anger. Tabrez finds that Aatish enjoys police protection (hence the entire project will be under police protection if they manage to get Atish on the project) and relays this information to the Johri brothers, who decide that they will be the producers of the film.

Tabrez, Dollar, Burger and Soda manage to steal equipment from a film set where actor Chunky Pandey is shooting, and land up in a village called Dhulia, where the chief, Nana Ghanpule (Anjan Srivastav) and his blind associate, Subedaar (Avtar Gill) welcome him. Realizing that the train passes through the only track in Dhulia, Tabrez settles on the idea of directing his film there, and, posing as international director Manoj "Day" Ramalin (Akshay Kumar) the fair complexioned brother of award-winning director Manoj "Night" Ramalin, approaches Aatish, who agrees to the "Oscar-winning" project, despite the suspicions of his manager Bunty Baweja (Sudhir Pandey). Atish ignores him since he had let go of Slumdog Millionaire, as Bunty thought Danny Doyle, was in fact Danny Denzongpa. Inspector Dhurinder (Arya Babbar) is the local cop in Dhulia, who agrees to give shooting permission in exchange for a "role" in the movie.

Tabrez comes up with the idea of a film centered in the Pre-independence era, where Aatish would play a revolutionary, and Anya would play "Razia Sultana", and both of them would protest against Britishers. Midway through, the negatives run out, and one of Nana's associates (Shashi Kiran) overhears this, deciding to raise a few 5-6 Lakhs of rupees for Tabrez and team. At night, since they have the keys to the local bank (where TMK and team filmed a shot during the day, since the train shot was not possible), Tabrez, Burger, Dollar and Soda decide to rob the bank. The villagers follow the four into the forest when they run after seeing the villagers coming towards the bank (they were looking for TMK to hand over the money they had collected to keep the film shooting going). their escape and attempts to dodge a ghost-figure leads both the gang of thieves and the villagers to a hideout deep in the forest where several children who went missing from the village are recovered from a gang of militants (who were using the kids to grow drugs inside the forest), after which the entirety of villagers bows in front of Tabrez, who realizes that he made a grave mistake trying to deceive the villagers.

Humbled by their gesture of 5-6 Lakh rupees as a means of arranging film equipment, he decides that he will leave behind part of the looted treasure for the villagers, even as he trains the villagers in acting, among whom is the local cop, Inspector Dhurinder (Arya Babbar), as the train has been delayed by a week.

With everything set in motion on the day of the hijack, trouble seems to brew with the arrival of Singh, Jagtap, Chatterjee and Mukherjee, even as Tabrez finds his mother joining in after finding out their location through the unwitting Anya. However, while he succeeds in tying up the four officers and escaping after successfully executing the entire caper (Atish stands on track to force the train to stop & then the villagers attack the train to loot the treasure and put it inside the waiting truck), Singh recovers and slaps Dhurinder, informing the stunned villagers that the director who they met is a wanted criminal.

Along with his gang, Tabrez meets up with the Johri brothers and declares that he will leave behind a portion of the loot for the villagers, but the rather irked twins fool them and escape. Meanwhile, Dhurinder holds Tabrez at gunpoint until Singh arrives. At court, the entire village alter assembles with Tabrez against the officers in attendance. They testify that TMK is good nature person and helpful, he even left the villagers a part of looted treasure. the Judge (Viju Khote) decides that only the guilt-ridden Tabrez be jailed, but while he misinterprets his sentence as that of 7 years, he is shocked to find that it is instead 60 years.

Outside the courtroom, Tabrez instructs Burger, Dollar and Soda to complete the film, titled Bharat Ka Khazana, and release it. At the premiere, he arrives handcuffed, but is found missing and thus escaped after Chatterjee and Mukherjee find Bunty in shackles instead. Singh realizes he has failed and is shocked.

Meanwhile, the Johri brothers are stunned to find Tabrez aboard their plane, with Burger, Dollar and Soda revealed to have hijacked it. Finding the twins adamant against his will, Tabrez throws them out with a parachute at their back. A song sequence in the end features Aatish finally receiving an Oscar award from the sensational actor Anil Kapoor, Anya endorsing a hair removal cream brand, Chatterjee and Mukherjee marrying each other, and the supporting cast and crew of the film receiving Oscars awards and dancing.
