The angry Raja (Arshad Warsi), schizophrenic Gangadhar (Rajpal Yadav), Dr. Mukherjee (Irrfan Khan) and the cute Dabboo (Suresh Menon) are all unique in their mental imbalance. Dr. Sonali (Juhi Chawla) is treating all four of them.
While Raja is diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder, due to his sudden anger at the slightest provocation, Gangadhar is living in the past where he shares friendship with Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi, Lokamanya Tilak and Sardar Vallabhai Patel. He seems busy in fighting for the country's freedom, which was achieved long back. Dr. Mukherjee, who is a perfect doctor and is one keeps himself tidy and prim, is diagnosed with obsessive compulsive personality disorder. Dabboo, who has not spoken for years and appears frightened all the time, appears autistic and is loved by one and all.
Shikha (Dia Mirza), a television reporter and who loves Raja, cannot seem to help bring sanity in him. R K Sanyal (Rajat Kapoor), who is an industrialist and the husband of Dr. Sonali, gets vexed up with the four patients and attempts to get rid of them.
How this story unfolds forms the climax of the story.

Dutch authorities have destroyed a piece of public art meant to memorialize
slain filmmaker Theo van Gogh because it included the phrase "Thou shalt not kill."
According to Radio Netherlands, the Volkskrant newspaper reported a Dutch artist
in Rotterdam wanted to express his emotions over the murder of van Gogh, who was
allegedly killed by a Muslim extremist last week due to his criticism of Islam.
The artist's painting on a wall in his neighborhood included an ascending angel
with the date and the familiar commandment from the Old Testament inscribed.
Authorities were not impressed.
"In the year 2004, this commandment is considered too sensitive in our
multicultural society," wrote the Volkskrant.
Officials ordered the immediate removal of the artwork from the public space,
Radio Netherlands reported.
According to the newspaper, when a local television team showed up, the police
ordered the crew to stop filming the painting and hand over the film. A reporter
who tried to stop the destruction of the painting was jailed for three hours.
One city lawmaker quoted in the paper described the incident as "a fantastic
example of the madness in which we live."
Bush wprowadza wolnosc do Iraku - zamknieta gazeta

BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 28 — American soldiers shut down a popular Baghdad
newspaper on Sunday and tightened chains across the doors after the
occupation authorities accused it of printing lies that incited violence.
Thousands of outraged Iraqis protested the closing as an act of American
hypocrisy, laying bare the hostility many feel toward the United States a
year after the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
"No, no, America!" and "Where is democracy now?" screamed protesters who
hoisted banners and shook clenched fists in a hastily organized rally against
the closing of the newspaper, Al Hawza, a radical Shiite weekly.
Many newspapers and television stations have sprouted in Iraq since the fall
of the Hussein government. But under a law passed by the occupying
authorities in June, a news media organization must be licensed, and that
license can be revoked if the organization publishes or broadcasts material
that incites violence or civil disorder or "advocates alterations to Iraq's
borders by violent means."
But the letter outlining the reasons for taking action against Al Hawza did
not cite any material that directly advocated violence. Several Iraqi
journalists said that meant there was no basis to shut Al Hawza down.
Omar Jassem, a freelance reporter, said he thought that democracy meant many
viewpoints and many newspapers. "I guess this is the Bush edition of
democracy," he said.
Tom Rosenstiel, vice chairman of the Committee of Concerned Journalists, a
nonprofit organization based in Washington, said there was a basic irony in
Americans' practicing censorship in Iraq.
"If you're trying to promote democracy in a country that has never had it,
you have to lead by example," Mr. Rosenstiel said. "I'm not in Iraq. But it's
hard for me to see how the suppression of information, even false
information, is going to help our cause."
Could Saddam Hussein be striking a last-minute deal?
Iraqi president Saddam Hussein may be negotiating an eleventh-hour deal that
could see him exiled to a safe country.
Speculation has rife as to whether Saddam Hussein is dead, alive, staying with
his government or fleeing. In the last few minutes Lebanese television has
reported that he is in the safety of the Russian embassy.
Al Jazeera's correspondent in Moscow reported earlier today that the Russian
delegation that came under fire from US forces as it left Baghdad on 7 April
may have been dealing with senior representatives of the Iraqi government in
guaranteeing a safe exit for Saddam Hussein.

“This explains the lack of resistance by the Republican Guard and Iraqi
forces,” a Russian general told Al-Jazeera on condition of anonymity.
Akram Khouzam, Al-Jazeera’s reporter in Moscow, reports that the general's
claim may explain the absence of organised resistance in Iraq, even in the
capital itself where communications could not have been disrupted completely.
Baghdad had been expected to put up stiff resistance to the US-led invasion but
in the event it appears to have capitulated, with the Iraqi military putting up
less opposition than in more poorly defended places such as Umm Qasr and Basra.
Russian intelligence has officially denied reports that diplomats who left
Baghdad last week took with them Saddam’s secret archive, saying this
allegation was being made to justify the US attack on the diplomatic convoy
last week.
However, the Russian general speaking by phone to Al-Jazeera said his claims
were based on the cooperation of Saddam and a group of his close officials with
the United States during the Iran-Iraq war and encouragement for Saddam to
invade Kuwait in 1991.
