Arjun (Ajay Devgn) and Mannu (Salman Khan) are childhood friends. But they had little in common except their family's vague connection with music. While Arjun's life was consumed by a passionate drive to get on stage and realise his grandfather's unfulfilled dream, Mannu had little interest in his music tutor father's instruments and was content with remaining a child at heart with no higher ambition than enjoying the good things in life.
Arjun diligently pursues his dream, at the risk of running away from an uncle and roaming the streets of London before taking shelter in a music shop. There he practices and prepares himself until he's ready to make his foray into the world of music and showmanship.
As Arjun forges a band with Zoheb (Rannvijay), Wasim (Aditya Roy) and Priya (Asin), a music enthusiast from a conservative South Indian family, far away in Punjab, music becomes a survival tool for Mannu, who takes to playing in wedding bands in his village. But when he gets Mannu to London and makes him a part of the band, Arjun soon realises he's created the biggest threat to his own ambitions. For, Mannu, with his inherent musical gift and irreverent style of performing, becomes an instant darling of the crowds. What has taken Arjun years to achieve, Mannu does overnight. Arjun's unbearable pangs of jealousy and insecurity only worsen when Mannu also unwittingly woos and wins his secret love, Priya. Arjun plots against Mannu, but what happens?

Vipul Shah
With London Dreams you can see a new genre that I have tried. You can see human drama with a musical backdrop. The film is the journey of two friends from childhood to the age of 35 and their trials and tribulations. They both fall in love with the same girl so it is their journey through music, love and everything else.
THE BUZZ
Salman Khan who is known to have a great respect for Dharmendra, has incorporated some of the veteran actor’s move sin the song Man ko ati bhaave. The sequence wherein Salman proposes to Asin in front of the Eiffel Tower is also creating a lot of buzz.
