Synopsis

Perspective

Saraswati Batra (Waheeda Rehman) is the widowed mother of Om (Anil Kapoor), Jai (Fardeen Khan), and Jagadish (Abhishek Bachchan). They live at a beach home where they often are approached by investors to sell their home but Om always refused no matter how generous the offer was. Om is responsible and provides the income for the whole family. He works in a music company owned by his friend, Shekhar Malhotra (Parmeet Sethi). Jai is very ambitious (he wants to build the world's fastest car) and is studying in the United States. His education is paid for by Om, for which he has taken a loan from Shekhar Malhotra. Jagadish is a college student who is very good with computers. Jai soon returns home after Om and his mother convince him.

They all want different things. Om marries the bubbly Ayesha (Mahima Chaudhry), an MTV VJ, and Jai marries Neetu (Urmila Matondkar), the daughter of a rich NRI. Jagadish is in love with Pooja (Tara Sharma), who is from Bangalore; they meet at a college festival. When Jai, on insistence of his wife Neetu, clashes with Om's values, they drift apart.

Jai moves back to United States and starts working at a garage while experimenting with the car engines. Jagadish is caught computer hacking after trying to help a friend get the answers to a test, and Om throws him out of the house as a result. Om realizes that Shekhar had lien over his house to secure his debt for Jai's study. When he fails to pay it back, Shekhar takes the possession of the house. Om, Ayesha, and Sarawasti have to leave the house. All three brothers struggle to achieve their goals. Om starts his own music label, Jai finally succeeds in building the fastest car and Jagdish meets with a tech billionaire to propose a deal for anti-hacking software.

Shekhar puts their home for auction. Eventually, they all come together at the house auction to buy it back. Om is at the auction to see the winner and is surprised when Jagadish shows up to bid. He reveals that he used his hacking skills to create a program to block hackers instead. Jai comes at the end of the auction and bids more, which he got by selling his engine for the fastest car, and realizes that his future is in India, not in the United States. He doesn't have enough, so the three brothers combine their money to win back the house, but it isn't enough. Finally, it is revealed that the CEO of the company, who Jagadish made the hacking program for, bid for the house and won. Jagadish made a deal that the price of the house is the price of the program. The three brothers reunite and move back into the house.

Production

Originally, Yash Raj Films wanted to rope in director Anupam Kher with his script and also wished to produce it, in a condition that the director managed to rope in Aamir Khan (Om), Shah Rukh Khan (Jai), Salman Khan (Jagadish), Rani Mukerji (Ayesha), Kajol (Neetu) & Preity Zinta (Pooja) to play the leading characters. However, surprisingly, all the actors declined the film stating date problems and the project was eventually produced by Vashu Bhagnani and released by Saregama. Tabu was initially part of the film but walked out before its completion. This added to the film's pre-release challenges.[4]Some parts of the film is shot in Dunedin, New Zealand. The university campus is University of Otago's campus. In the film, the location referred to as Atlanta, United States is Dunedin, New Zealand.
