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.
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.
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.
