Plot

Arun Prajapati has been trying to be a successful TV anchor, but success has always eluded him. He blames God for this lack of success. Arun is head over heels in love with Alia Kapoor (Priyanka Chopra), who is a TV anchor and a well-known star working in the same channel, but he has never been able to express his love for her. When Rocky is appointed as an anchor for the channel, Arun starts believing that Rocky will win Alia. Later, Arun is sacked from the channel after the launch of his new show was sabotaged by Rocky. He has nobody to blame but God Himself, whom he later meets in person. An argument ensues between the two, at the end of which God then decides to give Arun the power over all things for ten days, wherein Arun may prove that he is a better operator of the universe. Arun uses this power to get his job back, put Rocky in an uneasy spot, and win Alia's heart. After God scolds him for only making things better for himself, Arun starts listening to people's prayers. He later realizes that considering each person's wishes individually would be too time-consuming, so to save time and effort, he grants everyone's wishes (including the wish of criminals to be free) and Rocky's wish for Alia to marry him. The criminals crash Rocky and Alia's wedding, and Alia is shot by one of the criminals. Arun later asks God why everything is happening to him. God explains it is his own fault and that everyone cannot blame him for this. Arun feels bad, but God forgives him and starts his life over again. During the game show, he tricks Rocky into lying about loving Alia and exposes him for stealing his idea for the game show. He is exposed as a fraud and Alia turns on him. Alia then asks Arun a few questions and he lies lovingly. Arun wins Alia's heart in the end.
