But Nitin is unable to do so as he is experiencing 'Delhi Belly'. The Package keeps floating around and is finally handed to the recipient, a gangster named Somayajulu (Vijay Raaz) by Arup. Apart from the package, Arup also has to deliver another package which contains Nitin's stool sample to Nitin's Doctor. He mixes up the two which makes Somayajulu furious and he starts the investigation by interrogating Vladimir. Meanwhile Nitin manages to photograph his landlord with a prostitute.So he sends a parcel to his landlord which contains a copy of the photograph.Sonia is on the brink of an orgasm with Tashi when his co-journalist Menaka (Poorna Jagannathan) calls him for an important work.When he reaches the place he realizes that it is just a party and Menaka had called him just to have fun. Menaka`s husband Rajiv has an altercation with Tashi and hits him on his eyes. Tashi retaliates and knocks Rajiv on his head
due to which he falls into a swimming pool.As Tashi and Menaka leave they are chased by Rajiv and his friends. Rajiv shoots wildly due to which Tashi`s new car which was gifted to him by Sonia`s dad ,is damaged. In order to flee from Rajiv ,Tashi and Menaka enter into a 5-star hotel and check-in into somebody else room. Sensing an old couple,to whom the room was actually booked at the hotel, entering the room,Menaka and Tashi act as if they are engaged in sex. Horrified on hearing Menaka moaning in pleasure the old couple immediately vacate the room, while Tashi is appalled to discover an erection and conceals it.
Vladimir informs Somayajulu that the mix-up must have been caused by Sonia as she didn't know what she was carrying in the package. Somayajulu calls Sonia, informs her about the mix-up and asks her to give him the address of the person who was delivered the package. When Tashi arrives at his appartment he notices that Somayajulu has taken the place under his control making Arup stand on a stool whilst his neck is tied with a tie to the ceiling. On interrogating, Somayajulu discovers the location of his package.
Nitin gets the package from his doctor's office which Somayajulu snatches and opens. Inside it are thirty diamonds. He examines them and orders his men to kill everyone. One of them pushes the stool on which Arup was standing. The other one gets ready to kill Tashi. Meanwhile, the fan to which Arup was tied falls down along with the ceiling and injures most of Somayajulu's men. Tashi, Arup and Nitin escape along with the diamonds and spend the night at Maneka's place. The next day they sell the diamonds to a local jewellery shop owner. They celebrate their good fortune which is cut short by Somayajulu's call saying if he doesn't get his diamonds back, he will be killing Sonia.
