Sidhu’s lowly existence takes a turn for the exotic with the arrival of two strangers who claim him to be the reincarnation of a war hero and insist on taking him to China.

Our protagonist Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) is the lowest on the totem pole, cutting at a road side food stall in Chandni Chowk in Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and looks for short-cuts with astrologers, tarot readers & fake fakirs basically believing anything except himself despite his father figure Dada’s (Mithon Chakraborty) best efforts.

His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as reincarnation of a war hero in the past and take him to China.

Sidhu now dreams of wine, women and a princely existence in foreign lands. Thanks to the devious translator a conman by the name Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey), little does he know that he is being taken to the promised land to rid the Chinese village of the vicious smuggler Hojo (Gordo Liu)!

So Sidhu blissfully sets forth to China with Chopsticks who instigates dreams of a delicious future and forgets to reveal the perils which await him. Along the way he meets Sakhi (Deepika Padukone), Ms Tele Shoppers Media (MS TSM) who has embarked on a journey to pay homage to the land of her birth and her dead father and twin. Initially Sidhu through a series of lucky coincidences manages to sidestep being beaten by Hojo’s men but finally Hojo catches up with him as the country buffoon that he really is.

Sidhu has the fire of revenge in his belly and finds that one man who will make him a Kung fu expert and set the village free. Armed with his Sifu (master), his faith in himself and the love of the fair Sakhi, Sidhu sets fourth to conquer all.
