the same face. Babloo (Shah Rukh Khan) is basically a daydreamer and aspires to
be a chef of international repute at 5-star hotels. Manu Dada (Shah Rukh Khan),
on the other hand, is a ruthless criminal on the run. Babloo is in love with Sonia
(Juhi Chawla) who is the Food & Beverage Manager of a posh hotel while Manu romances
nightclub dancer Lily (Sonali Bendre).
Babloo and Manu's tracks keep colliding because if their facial similarity. At
one point, Babloo the cook is mistakenly apprehended, charged and put behind bars
for crimes committed by the fugitive Manu. Upon realising their mistake, the police
release the cook and hands him an identification certificate, which the fugitive
gets a hold of and begins to play havoc with. Now Manu holds the innocent Babloo
at ransom and continues his violent escapades using Babloo's identity. Babloo eventually
retaliates and seeks revenge.
