==Plot==
== Plot ==
Dr. Shaina Mehra ([[Jacqueline Fernandez]]) is a [[psychiatrist]] living in [[Warsaw]], [[Poland]]. One day, her father, Mr. Brijesh Mehra ([[Saurabh Shukla]]) brings a marriage proposal and asks her to meet Himanshu Tyagi ([[Randeep Hooda]]). Himanshu and Shaina meet in a train, where Shaina reveals that she had an ex-boyfriend, Devi, ([[Salman Khan]]) and talks about her experiences with him.
Dr. Shaina Mehra is a [[psychiatrist]] living in [[Warsaw]], [[Poland]]. Her father Brijesh brings a marriage proposal and asks her to meet police officer Himanshu Tyagi, who is the son of a friend of Brijesh. The two meet in a train, where Shaina reveals she had an ex-boyfriend Devi Lal Singh, and talks about her crazy experiences with him. Devi is shown to be intelligent and adventurous, always looking for a ''kick'' in his life. Shaina was helping her friend, Vidhi elope with Devi's friend, Jignesh, when she met Devi in Delhi. After a long, hilarious chase, Devi got Vidhi and Jignesh married in a temple, but also helped Vidhi's mother reach the temple for a "kick". Shaina met Devi's family; the two began dating and fall in love. On her suggestion and getting ashamed from her father, Devi got a job in a chemical lab but resigned soon, suffering from the lack of a "kick". Devi tried hiding from Shaina that he is jobless again but she soon discovered it. Shaina scolded him for not being able to earn money, and Devi broke up with her and said that his new "kick" is now to earn money. She has since shifted to Warsaw, having to entertain Brijesh and his desire to see her married.
Devi Lal Singh is a highly intelligent, highly achieved but adventurous, most typical and fun-loving youth, who is always looking for a 'kick' or adventure or something fun in life. Due to his daredevil attitude, he never stays in one job for long. He has resigned from 32 companies as he feels that he is suffering from a lack of kick. When Shaina first meets Devi, she is trying to help her friend Vidhi ([[Sumona Chakravarti]]) elope with her lover who turns out to be Devi's friend ([[Kavin Dave]]). Devi rescues them both, gets them married in a temple but also helps her mother follow them and reach the temple for the 'kick'. Shaina initially dislikes Devi because of his thrill seeking and daredevil attitude. Shaina calls up Inspector Ramavtaar Rathi ([[Sanjay Mishra]]) to arrest him for an eve teasing case but he sees Devi beating goons. Devi asks the inspector to take him to jail. Shaina starts to like Devi after learning that he is a good person after seeing a video of him beating the goons. Shaina goes to free him. Later Shaina meets Devi's caring but easy going parents including his father Lal Singh ([[Mithun Chakraborty]]) and his mother ([[Archana Puran Singh]]). She tells Shaina about Devi. Devi and Shaina start dating, and fall in love with each other. They decide to get married. On Shaina's suggestion, Devi accepts a job in a chemical lab, but resigns in a few days after once again suffering from the lack of kick. Upon hearing this, Shaina scolds him. Upset, Devi breaks up with her and moves away after telling her that he is going to get another job in which he won't suffer from a lack of kick. Shaina leaves for Poland, where her parents live, and does not hear about or see Devi for a year.
Himanshu, who is a police inspector, shares his experiences with a thief he deeply hates, because he can't stop him. Himanshu had come to Poland to catch a thief. The robber, called 'Devil', targets all the rich people associated with Shiv Gajra ([[Nawazuddin Siddiqui]]), a corrupt businessman, and robs them. The robber is none other than Devi. When Himanshu is unsuccessful in catching Devil, Devi contacts Himanshu and refers to him as a "partner" and insults him by calling him a loser. The word "loser" was in fact a hint towards the number for the flight Devi took to Warsaw to commit his next robbery, LO737. Himanshu ends up going to Poland to catch him, and that was how he ended up there.
Shaina spots Devi in Poland. He has come there for treatment after losing his memory in an accident. Shaina, who is a psychiatrist, offers to handle Devi's case and decides to take him home. It is now revealed that Devi is just acting about his memory loss and his real plan is to befriend and fool Himanshu and rob Shiv, who will be coming to Poland for a deal worth crores of rupees. Devi enters a charity function and robs Shiv, who was about to invest a huge amount of money in a foreign firm. During the robbery Himanshu and Shaina discover Devil's true identity. Devi escapes by jumping from off the building and rappelling down. He steals a bus and tries to escape. He is then chased by cops led by Himanshu. After a long chase, though many cops die and Devi gets cornered by Himanshu who is with a few cops blocking him, he escapes by driving off the bridge. Unfortunately the bus falls into the river, and the cash is destroyed in the process. Devi celebrates his failure back in India. Himanshu spots Devi and warns him that if he tries to rob again he will be killed, but Devi challenges him by saying that he will rob a huge party fund worth 5 billion rupees on 14 November. Devi dares Himanshu to kill him on the 14th, otherwise Devi will be standing in front of him on 15 November, and he won't be able to do anything.


Himanshu shares his experiences with a thief he hates as he cannot stop him; the robber, ''Devil'', has been targeting the rich people associated with corrupt businessman Shiv Gajra, and is robbing them. Devil is actually Devi. As Himanshu fails in catching Devil, Devi contacts him and insults him by calling him a "loser", which is a clue that Devi gives Himanshu. While with Himanshu in Warsaw, Shaina spots Devi who is there for treatment after losing his memory in an accident. She offers to handle Devi's case, which was referred by Dr. Jayant Verma, and take him home. However, Devi is in fact faking his memory loss; his real plan is to befriend and fool Himanshu and rob Shiv, who will come to Poland. Devi enters a charity function and robs Shiv, but Himanshu and Shaina discover the truth and Devi is ultimately forced to drown himself. However, he escapes.
In a flashback, Devi's true intentions and good deeds are revealed by Devi's father. He tells Shaina that his son is committing robberies to help poor children who are suffering from diseases and need millions of rupees for treatment. Devi once saved a girl named Jhumki by arranging 2 million rupees through some means after getting a letter sent by her dead parents who had committed suicide. When a doctor tells him that several such children are suffering from diseases, he decides to save them by performing robberies in order to get the money for their treatment, knowing that this will give him a lot of kick. On 14 November, Devi goes to steal the party funds. He goes to find Shiv, and his guards are waiting for him. After fighting Shiv's henchmen, Devi confronts and kills Shiv. He puts a briefcase full of the money in the back of a van in a parking lot. He tells his father to get in and drive away with the money. He then runs out of the parking lot towards the street to draw the police force's attention away from his father. Himanshu is set up with many officers to shoot Devi, but many kids block his way as soon as he has a clear shot. It turns out that 14 November is Children's Day, and the sick children are going to pray for Devi and thank him for saving them. Himanshu realizes that all the robberies Devi did was actually for the kids.


Devi's true intentions and good deeds are revealed by his father Ratan Lal in a flashback. He tells Shaina that Devi is committing robberies to help poor children who are battling diseases. Devi saved a girl, Jhumki after reading a letter in the hands of her dead parents, and got the most powerful ''kick'' when she smiled at him. When Dr. Verma told him that several such children are battling diseases, he decided to save them by robbing to get money for their treatments, knowing that it will give a lot of ''Kick''. Back in the present, Himanshu tracks Devi down to a bar in Delhi and warns him he will be killed if he robs again, but Devi says he will rob a huge party fund on 14 November. He dares Himanshu to kill him on the 14th, otherwise, Devi will be standing in front of him on 15 November and he won't be able to do anything.
On 15 November, Devi joins the police force to "catch" Devil. He arrives at the police station and stands in front of an astonished and speechless Himanshu, who is unable to do anything about the situation, therefore completing his challenge successfully. Himanshu is taken off the case and it is given to Devi, who is now a police officer. Devi then thanks Himanshu, saying that he was never against him, but he is against the police force. Himanshu then says that it is impossible to understand him. The film ends with Devi saying, "Don't think too much about me, I can only be loved, not understood, and that's the best kick in life." He gets back together with Shaina in the end with the song ''Yaar Na Miley with Nargis Fakhri''.


On 14 November, after fighting Shiv's henchmen and robbing the money, Devi kills him. Himanshu is set up with officers to shoot Devi, but several kids block his shot. Himanshu realizes the robberies were for the kids after a teacher informs him that the children are going to pray for their saviour and its Children's Day today. On 15 November, Devi joins the police force. He arrives at the police station and stands in front of Himanshu, who is unable to do anything about the situation, therefore completing his challenge. Himanshu is taken off of the case and it is given to Devi, who is now a police officer. Devi then thanks Himanshu, saying that he was never against him, but he is against the corrupt system.

Plot

Dr. Shaina Mehra is a psychiatrist living in Warsaw, Poland. Her father Brijesh brings a marriage proposal and asks her to meet police officer Himanshu Tyagi, who is the son of a friend of Brijesh. The two meet in a train, where Shaina reveals she had an ex-boyfriend Devi Lal Singh, and talks about her crazy experiences with him. Devi is shown to be intelligent and adventurous, always looking for a kick in his life. Shaina was helping her friend, Vidhi elope with Devi's friend, Jignesh, when she met Devi in Delhi. After a long, hilarious chase, Devi got Vidhi and Jignesh married in a temple, but also helped Vidhi's mother reach the temple for a "kick". Shaina met Devi's family; the two began dating and fall in love. On her suggestion and getting ashamed from her father, Devi got a job in a chemical lab but resigned soon, suffering from the lack of a "kick". Devi tried hiding from Shaina that he is jobless again but she soon discovered it. Shaina scolded him for not being able to earn money, and Devi broke up with her and said that his new "kick" is now to earn money. She has since shifted to Warsaw, having to entertain Brijesh and his desire to see her married.

Himanshu shares his experiences with a thief he hates as he cannot stop him; the robber, Devil, has been targeting the rich people associated with corrupt businessman Shiv Gajra, and is robbing them. Devil is actually Devi. As Himanshu fails in catching Devil, Devi contacts him and insults him by calling him a "loser", which is a clue that Devi gives Himanshu. While with Himanshu in Warsaw, Shaina spots Devi who is there for treatment after losing his memory in an accident. She offers to handle Devi's case, which was referred by Dr. Jayant Verma, and take him home. However, Devi is in fact faking his memory loss; his real plan is to befriend and fool Himanshu and rob Shiv, who will come to Poland. Devi enters a charity function and robs Shiv, but Himanshu and Shaina discover the truth and Devi is ultimately forced to drown himself. However, he escapes.

Devi's true intentions and good deeds are revealed by his father Ratan Lal in a flashback. He tells Shaina that Devi is committing robberies to help poor children who are battling diseases. Devi saved a girl, Jhumki after reading a letter in the hands of her dead parents, and got the most powerful kick when she smiled at him. When Dr. Verma told him that several such children are battling diseases, he decided to save them by robbing to get money for their treatments, knowing that it will give a lot of Kick. Back in the present, Himanshu tracks Devi down to a bar in Delhi and warns him he will be killed if he robs again, but Devi says he will rob a huge party fund on 14 November. He dares Himanshu to kill him on the 14th, otherwise, Devi will be standing in front of him on 15 November and he won't be able to do anything.

On 14 November, after fighting Shiv's henchmen and robbing the money, Devi kills him. Himanshu is set up with officers to shoot Devi, but several kids block his shot. Himanshu realizes the robberies were for the kids after a teacher informs him that the children are going to pray for their saviour and its Children's Day today. On 15 November, Devi joins the police force. He arrives at the police station and stands in front of Himanshu, who is unable to do anything about the situation, therefore completing his challenge. Himanshu is taken off of the case and it is given to Devi, who is now a police officer. Devi then thanks Himanshu, saying that he was never against him, but he is against the corrupt system.

Production

Development

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala initially signed A. R. Murugadoss as the director,[6] but he was replaced by Shirish Kunder after Murugadoss was unable to direct the film.[citation needed] Apart from Ileana D'Cruz,[7] who starred in the original 2009 film of the same name,[8] Deepika Padukone,[citation needed] Anushka Sharma,[9][10] Sonakshi Sinha,[11] Priyanka Chopra,[12] and Angela Jonsson[13] were considered for the female lead. After much discussions, Jacqueline Fernandez was signed on to act in the film.[14] US-based Abhijat Joshi, who had written the scripts for Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and Lage Raho Munnabhai was approached to write the script in 2009. Nadiawala wanted the script to be prepared during the release of 3 Idiots, when Joshi had come back to India.[15] Chetan Bhagat eventually wrote the script for the film which is based on Vakkantham Vamsi's script.[16]

Principal photography

Palace of Culture and Science which was featured in the film.

Nadiadwala and his team visited South Korea in September 2011 at the invitation from the Korea Tourism Organization, and he signed an agreement to shoot portions of this project and others in that country.[citation needed] The shooting of the film began on 27 July 2013 in Scotland,[17] where Khan shot a car crash scene and helicopter crash scene in Glasgow.[18] Some scenes were shot at Mehboob Studios in February 2014[citation needed] In October 2013, while the shooting was in progress outside the city of Mumbai, the Film Studio Settings and Allied Mazdoor Union asked Sajid to pay them wages for one and a half shifts, which he refused. The workers stopped shooting for a week and only resumed when Sajid agreed to the worker's demands.[19] The shooting of the movie Roy had to be postponed due to Fernandez's commitments to this movie.[20] Fernandez started learning the Urdu language specifically for the film with a coach who was hired by Khan.[21] While shooting was underway in Mumbai in March 2014, Khan's body double, Ajay, was injured while shooting a stunt scene. He was supposed to jump from the first floor of a house onto a railway track, but went through the sugar glass, injuring his face.[22] He required hospitalization.[22]

The film's climax was shot in Poland at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.[23][24] Khan wanted to shoot part of the film in United Kingdom, but he was refused a visa by the authorities.[25] Umbrella (disambiguation).
