Desi Boyz is the story of two friends, Jerry alias Jignesh Patel ( Akshay Kumar ) and Nick Mathur ( John Abraham ), who live in London and who are hit hard by recession. Jerry does odd jobs fora living as he is an undergraduate but Nick has a white-collar job. However, both find themselves jobless due to the economic downturn. Jerry has a little, school-going nephew Veer (Master Virej Desai) to look after as the child has lost both hisparents. Nick is to marry his girlfriend, Radhika Awasthi ( Deepika Padukone ), who dreams of a lovely wedding, a great honeymoon and a wonderful house to live in after marriage.
Out of job, Jerry finds it difficult to even pay the school fees of his nephew because of which the government is on the verge of giving the custody of his nephewto a foster family. Nick fears, he won’t be able to fulfil the dreams of his to-be wife. It is to tide over the difficult times that Jerry and Nick turn to the oldest professionin the world. They become male escorts, fulfilling the costume fantasies of girls and ladies. Ironically, Jerry can’t ultimately prevent his nephew from being sent to a foster home; and Nick loses Radhika when she learns ofwhat he has been up to while she is away in India . Frustrated, Nick blames Jerry for forcing him into the profession and asks him to move out of his house and life.
Nick now tries hard to win Radhika back and help comes from the most unlikely source – Radhika’s father Suresh ( Anupam Kher ) who has come to London with her. Meanwhile, Jerry registers in college again to complete his graduation so that he can earn enough money to get his nephew back home. In college, Jerry meets Tanya sharma( Chitrangada Singh ) who used to be his over-sized classmate and isnow a hot and a sexy professor in the same college. Sparks fly between Jerry and Tanya.
Jerry completes his graduation with the help of Tanya. For his graduation ceremony, Nick brings Jerry's mother from India and the old friends thus unite. Jerry helps Nick regain his girlfriend while Nick helps Jerry win a job thereby regaining custody of his nephew following a law suit which Jerry and Nick fight together.
