In
college
Raj
Malhotra
(Shahid
Kapoor)
was
numero
uno.
In
academics,
sports,
dramatics
and
touted
as
the
next
cover
of
Time
magazine.
But
four
years
after
winning
the
best-student-of-the-year
trophy
from
his
architectural
college,
he's
wondering
why
a
brilliant
architect
like
him,
with
designs
to
set
the
Canadian
landscape
on
fire,
is
still
struggling
to
find
that
One
Big
Chance
to
showcase
his
mettle.
It's
almost
as
though
some
negative
kismat
is
following
him
around
because
whenever
something
good
is
about
to
happen,
it
seems
doomed
to
fail.
Why
else
would
his
alarm
refuse
to
ring,
his
shower
stop
midway,
his
car
refuse
to
start,
just
when
he's
in
a
tearing
hurry
to
reach
a
crucial
meeting
on
time?
The
end
result
is
the
same?
The
deal
is
dead
or
the
client
is
dead!
Desperate
to
fight
this
cussed
kismat
that's
hell
bent
on
playing
such
mean
tricks
on
him,
Raj
meets
a
quirky
oracle,
Hasina
Bano
Jaan
(Juhi
Chawla).
She
tells
him
that
soon
his
stars
will
change
his
stars
and
make
everything
work
in
his
favour;
but
for
all
this
to
happen,
Raj
has
first
to
find
his
lucky
charm
and
never
let
go
of
it.
But
she
tells
him
no
more,
leaving
Raj
mystified,
trying
to
figure
out
what
this
charm
could
be.
Suddenly
his
life
seems
to
be
on
the
right
track.
He's
managed
to
impress
top
builder
Sanjeev
Gill
(Om
Puri),
into
giving
him
a
prestigious
project?
Priya
is
a
tough-talking,
tough-decision
taking
girl
with
a
heart
of
gold.
She
is
an
idealist
who
is
intent
on
making
the
world
a
better,
more
humane
place
and
is
quite
willing
to
fight
a
lone
battle
for
it.
She
is
a
doer
who
believes
in
action.
Life
for
her
is
clearly
colored
in
blacks
and
whites.
Shades
of
grey
have
no
role
for
her.
She
will
give
her
all
to
her
causes,
her
people
and
her
love
and
expect
nothing
less
in
return.
Raj
even
succeeds
in
persuading
pretty
Priya
(Vidya
Balan)
that
he's
the
Messiah
who
can
save
her
beloved
Community
Center
from
destruction?
And
also
opened
her
eyes
to
her
philandering
fiance
(Amit
Verma).
Raj
even
manages
to
thwart
the
evil
designs
of
old-college-foe-turned-deadly-professional-
enemy
Dave
Kataria
(Manoj
Bohra)?
Does
this
mean
that
Raj
has
unwittingly
discovered
his
lucky
charm?
Has
lady
luck
finally
decided
to
smile
on
him?
Where
will
his
new
found
kismet
ultimately
lead
Raj?
To
the
height
of
love
or
pinnacle
of
success?
Only
Kismat
Konnection
can
tell?
