The story centers on a family headed by Ramkishen (Alok Nath) his wife Mamta (Reema Lagoo), and their three sons, Vivek (Mohnish Behl), Prem (Salman Khan), and Vinod (Saif Ali Khan). The two younger brothers Prem, and Vinod have their true loves since childhood Sapna (Karishma Kapoor) and Preeti (Sonali Bendre).

The first half of the movie is pure family fun and full of love. The eldest son, Vivek, meets Sadhna. Sadhna is immediatly attracted to him. She meets him first at his parents anniversary party, and cannot keep her eyes off him. She is immeadatly taken by the love he has for his parents, despite Mamta isn't his real mother. Sadhna's father goes to visit Ramkishen, explaining that he only took Saddhna to the party so she could meet Vivek. Ramkishen is overjoyed, being as the family was worrying about Vivek's marital life. Vivek on the other hand is not looking forward to this union.

Vivek lost the use of his arm to save his younger brother's lives many, many years ago, and thinks his arm would be too much of a burden on Sadhna. But Saddhna Continues to stick by her desicion. Vivek is touched by her dedication to him, so the two are then married.

So now we move on to the sweet childhood love story of Prem and Preity(Played by Salman Khan & Sonali Bendre). These two have had a crush on eachother since they were little kids, but both have never, ever spoken of their love for eachother. Although it is quite obvious, neither are exactly sure of the others feelings. It doesn't really matter, due to the fact that they are to have an arranged marriage. Their engagement is finalised after a hilarious comedy scene in which Vinod & Sapna (Saif Ali Khan & Karishma Kapoor) pretend to be Prem & Preity, acting like they have a crush on one another. Saif Ali Khan & Karishma are the youngest couple, & are very fun-loving & flirty with each other. The story seems too good to be true. But a twist comes with Mumta(played my Reema Lagoo), the mother of the three young male lovers, & her friends. Her 3 snobby, girlfriends, with the help of Karsihma's father, persuade her into thinking that if the three brothers live in the same house with all of their wives & son-to-be kids, then fights & complications will occur. This leads to a tangled web of problems & sadness. Saddhna also becomes pregnant in the midst of all the trouble. What will happy to Saddhna & the baby? Will Prem & Vinod get married to their loves? Will the three "friends" of Mumta ruin the family?
