Anjali (Kareena Kapoor) is the younger daughter of her Canadian mother (Nafisa Ali) and her Indian father (Kabir Bedi) living in the city of Montreal, Quebec. She shares a hale and hearty relationship with her parents but has a secret to hide. And she reveals this secret only to her elder sister Aarti (Sushmita Sen).
The secret is her love for a budding musician Raja (Akshay Kumar). Raja is not a rich man but that does not deter Anjali from loving him. Aarti assures Anjali and Raja that she will convince her parents of their true love.
But unfortunately fate has different plans for them. Aarti passes away on the birth of her twin babies. Circumstances force Anjali to marry Aarti's husband, Aditya Sahai (Anil Kapoor). With the much older and mature Aditya Sahai, Anjali migrates to New Delhi.
Aditya is a business tycoon who hardly finds any time for his sister-in-law turned wife Anjali or his two lovable daughters from Aarti. Anjali fulfills every role asked for her by the society but cannot bridge the gap between herself and Aditya. She finds herself in a marriage that has no compatibility but only compromise. Her only source of solace are her two endearing stepdaughters.
Amidst all this, one fine day Raja who is now a famous fusion singer walks back into her life. Suddenly Anjali is torn between two men - her indifferent husband and her ex-lover. By the time Aditya wakes up to reality, Anjali has embarked on to an extra-marital affair with Raja. And thereby she is tagged as a Bewafaa - The Unfaithful.
How Anjali negotiates her relationship with Aditya and Raja as also Dil (Manoj Bajpai) and Pallavi (Shamita Shetty) who are Aditya's close friends and confidantes forms the basis of the second act of Bewafaa.
In the end, Anjali must forget her true love and end her affair with ex-lover Raja in order to give her two step daughters and her husband a better life
The film did not do as well as expected despite a huge star cast. Bewafaa was given a below average status.

Bluffmaster is a Bollywood movie released on 16 December 2005, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani and Nana Patekar. The plot is largely inspired by the 2004 Hollywood movie Criminal with John C. Reilly and Diego Luna, but has been appropriately Indianized.

Roy (played by Abhishek Bachchan) is a professional conman (bluffmaster in Indian English), who is a master of his dubious "art." He is in love with the honest and true "Simmi" (played by Priyanka Chopra). When they are about to get engaged, Simmi finds out that Roy is a conman, and she breaks off the relationship. Time passes, and Roy misses Simmi greatly. He tries his best to get back with her, but all attempts go in vain. Then Roy meets "Aditya Srivastav" alias "Dittu" (played by Ritesh Deshmukh). Aditya is a conman too, though an incompetent one. They meet in a lift where Dittu attempts to steal Roy's briefcase. Roy sees through Aditya and catches him out.
After a few days, it is revealed that Dittu's friend goes to jail because of the police. Aditya blames it on Roy, and Roy frustratedly agrees to do anything Aditya says. Aditya asks Roy to teach him how to be a conman. Roy agrees to teach Aditya the art of the con. This altruistic gesture opens up Roy's heart even further; he develops a true friendship for Aditya.
Then Roy is told that he has a brain tumour and will die soon. He decides to perform one last good deed. Aditya tells Roy that he wants to take revenge on his father's enemies. When Simmi finds out about the tumour, she goes back to Roy in order to spend time with him. She sees that he is a changed man, and love blossoms between the two once again. Roy manages to fool "Chandu" (the man Aditya wants revenge against).
Roy's doctor tells him that he can be treated by going to a clinic in Atlanta. Roy gathers up all his con money in order to go for is treatment. Just as all his money is collected, Roy finds out that Chandu has Simmi in custody. Roy sacrifices the money in order to save Simmi. She says that she loves him, and leaves him alone with Chandu. Chandu pushes Roy off the roof...
Then Roy lands on a soft mat below the building. The public come up to him and ask which movie is he shooting for. Roy is confused and says it isn't a movie. The public accuse Roy of thinking they are stupid and walk away. Roy retraces his steps and realises that all the places he has been, turned out to be fake. Then last of all, he goes to a house, and finds that everyone who he thought knew were conning him. They made a movie out of him. All is revealed that Aditya was getting revenge for his father, who Roy had conned. Roy changes his ways, and agrees not to be a conman. He gets back together with Simmi too who was conning him.
