Garam Masala
Two photographers Makrand "Mac" Deendayal Chatpatiya (Akshay Kumar) and Shyam "Sam" Salgaonkar (John Abraham) are doing a photo shoot and they live in Mauritius. Mac does not treat Sam nicely and always talks rudely to him in front of the models, as Mac considers Sam a junior photographer. When Mac's fiance Anjali calls, Mac asks Sam to lie to her that he is not there. Sam tells Anjali that Mac has asked him to lie to her, prompting Anjali to come to the sets to confront Mac. While Mac is shooting the models in exposing poses, his fiance Anjali (Rimi Sen) leaves in disgust due to Mac's closeness to the models. Anjali is a doctor herself. Mac explains to Anjali that photographing is his profession, and he was only teaching the novice models to give the correct pose. Babban is Mac's driver. Their boss Chote Lal Yadav (Viju Khote) calls them into his office and tells them that they are good-for-nothing photographers. Mac and Sam wanted double pay, a company car and an apartment. Mac and Sam blame each other for the poor photographs despite spending Rs 3 Lakhs for the shoot. He threatens to reduce their pay if they don't get some good pictures for the world press photography competition to make his magazine Garam Masala famous. Sam lives with Mac in his apartment. Both Mac and Sam ask Maggie (Neha Dhupia), the boss's secretary, on a date on the same day, at the same restaurant at the same time. Actually, Maggie was talking to Sam on the phone and said yes to him. Mac was standing in front of Maggie and asks her out on a date. Maggie wasn't even listening to Mac, and when she says yes to Sam, Mac thinks that she agreed to his proposal. As all three meet up at the restaurant a pickpocket takes Mac's and Sam's wallets. After the meal, the competition to impress Maggie heightens. At first, both Mac and Sam fight over who pays the bill, but then they realize that their wallets are stolen and thus try to pass the bill to the other. As Maggie goes to the restroom, the guys make a run out of the restaurant, leaving Maggie to pay the bill. Mamu Singh (Asrani) is Mac's maternal uncle who is not happy that Mac and Anjali cannot get along together. Mac promises to spend more time with Anjali and even the entire day with her on her Birthday. Mamu promises to send the couple back to India after their wedding. Sam visits a famous photographer, praising him and asking for a few outstanding shots to enter in an international photography competition on behalf of his company. These stolen shots help Sam to win the world photography competition. He gets promoted, is given ten percent of the prize money of Rs 1 Crore and has his pay doubled (with a paid vacation to USA for a month), whilst Mac receives a demotion to assistant. Sam flies off to the USA to enjoy his holiday (which was given to him by his company), leaving Mac fuming in Mauritius. The chief editor Nageshwar Kapoor (Manoj Joshi) persuades Mac to show up Sam by getting three women to be his fiance, getting a very expensive flat and driving very expensive, imported cars. Following his promise, Mac gets a high-quality flat and gets access to three beautiful air hostesses. His driver, Babban (Rajpal Yadav), is his key to the high life. Not only does Babban gets Mac access to the flat, but he also delivers very high-end cars to impress his fiance. He drives Mac's cars and does all his services for a small amount of liquor every day. The flat belongs to a rich man who had bought it for his daughter. Since the daughter is in the US, the flat remains empty. Mac approaches the landlord Daksh Padgaonkar (Prithvi Zutshi) and gets hired as the caretaker of the apartment. Lastly, Babban gets Mac a housekeeper, Mambo (Paresh Rawal), who has an attitude problem and doesn't care what goes on in the flat so long as his demands are met. Mambo wants all appliances to be arranged for his kitchen work. He wont cook food if there is a cricket match on, he will do his own grocery shopping and he demands that he will not be asked to explain daily expenses in the house. Mac has affairs with each of the three women-Deepti (Daisy Bopanna), Puja (Nargis Bagheri) and Sweety (Neetu Chandra)-and creates chaos as he has to keep track of their individual schedules and make sure that he does not double book. Before the next girl arrives, Mambo has to do all the work to clear the flat of all evidence of the previous girl. Each of the girls have a tussle with Mambo for not listening to them, not following orders and not behaving like a servant.
