Ricky Bahl (Ranveer Singh), a con man has a creative mind and cons some rich girls. He can pick-up any lady he wants. But love isn't Ricky's priority, money is. He adopts a variety of personas to support an extravagant lifestyle by conning his many 'girlfriends' out of large sums of cash. To Delhi student Dimple Chaddha (Parineeti Chopra), he is fitness trainer Sunny Singh. To hard-working, 35-year-old Lucknow widow Saira Rashid (Aditi Sharma), she knows him as shy Iqbal Khan. And successful, independent career woman Raina Parulekar (Dipannita Sharma) thinks he's art dealer Deven Shah. But a chance encounter unites the trio and, discovering the truth, they hatch a plan to get their money back. So now unsuspecting Ricky is about to meet his match in the shapely form of Ishika Desai (Anushka Sharma), who is a sales girl called by Raina to help them get their money back. On the first night of her task, Ishika meets Ricky at a bar, and the next day receive's flowers through Shankar from a man called Vikram Thappar, the man she met at the bar (Ricky). She meets Ricky at his working place, next to the beach, and she tells her that she'd like to invest in a restaurant, and he (thinking he can con her) says he'll help her, and then the game begins, few days pass where Ishika and Vikram are seen together while being spied on by the trio. The 2 attend a business party, and once it gets over, Vikram and Ishika are just standing together looking at fireworks, and then they go to a disco party.The film starts off impressively and comes straight to the point without wandering aimlessly. At times it seems too convenient for the victims to part off with their money at the drop of a hat. And consequently it seems even more convenient for a certified conman like Ricky to fall for the trap set by the girl gang. However, the con-games are crisp and executed with such swiftness that you never get time to notice any loose ends. Since we are conversant with the con artist from start, any major suspense element in the plot is ruled out.Structurally the film reminds of the Hollywood flick John Tucker Must Die with it's plotline of three girls trying to get even with a guy by setting him up with another girl. What saves it from getting into the chick-flick mode is that the girls are not merely betrayed in love but also in business and their revenge mechanism involves smarter cons over momentary cheap-thrills. That takes Devika Bhagat's screenplay a notch higher (though the confessional climax is evocative of her earlier work in Bachna Ae Haseeno where Ranbir Kapoor seeks forgiveness from three girls). Also the Ranveer-Anushka smooching chemistry seems directly derived from their last flick Band Baaja Baaraat.
