Plot
The film is set on a winter night in Delhi, where a middle-class Delhi university guy falls in love with a girl anchoring a fashion show. In the process of wooing her, someone plants a sting operation tape in his pocket. This sting operation has a minister talking about buying and selling MLAs and media heads from his Swiss bank accounts. Unknowing, he is chased by corrupt cops and good guys to get that tape back. Soon he gets to know of tape with him and its high relevance. How this university student, who always talked against corruption like any layman, now gets bribed himself by the big offer thrown by the minister's man constitutes the climax of the story.

Reception
Critical reception
Rohit Khilnani of Rediff gave the film 1 out of 5, writing "KLPD is teeming with lame stereotypes. Homosexuals, especially, have been portrayed in an exaggerated manner. The jokes only get more stereotypical and distasteful. Girls are called Totta (a New Delhi slang for a hot chick), all the city cops are out to break every law, a young Sikh kid is asked, "Barah baj gaye kya?" and all middle class boys are a bunch of embarrassing skirt-chasers."[4] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 1.5 out of 5, writing "Vivek Oberoi has the boyish charm that makes him do outlandish and outrageous stuff. He does it all with sincerity. Mallika Sherawat enacts her part monotonously. Ashutosh Rana is wasted. Ditto for Neha Dhupia. The remaining actors just fill the bill. On the whole, KLPD - KISMET LOVE PAISA DILLI is a comedy that neither entertains nor tickles. In fact, this comedy is more of a tragedy!"[5] Rachit Gupta of Filmfare wrote "KLPD is unconvincing of what genre it’s trying to represent and it doesn’t help that the film is slavishly formulaic. Not to say all is bad. Ashutosh Rana and his Haryanvi gang of goons are fairly entertaining, so is Anshuman Jha in what looks like a cross between Bruce Lee and Jim Carrey."[6] Vinayak Chakravorty of India Today wrote "KLPD falls short of imagination and wit when it comes to setting up the thrills. Khanduri's last Metro just doesn't have the pace of his Last Local."[7]
