Ishaan, a charismatic, good-looking, self-centered, pompous, dependent, coquettish music producer from Mumbai, lives a sheltered existence as the apple of his mother's eye, always protected by his elder sister Shivani. He lives with his girlfriend Anushka and takes her for granted. One day Anushka kicks him out of her house due to his irresponsibility about their relationship.

His new neighbor Gauri comes into his life, and he begins to fall in love with her. Ishaan is forced out of his company, and Gauri encourages him to start his own music company. While Ishaan is working on his music, Anushka is pregnant with his child but decides not to tell him that he is responsible. A few days later, Ishaan learned that his ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his child. Gauri gets a scholarship to Paris, and Ishaan and Gauri decide to live there after his big launch.

On the day of the launch, Anushka starts having contractions, and Ishaan, realizing his responsibilities, takes Anushka to the hospital where they have a daughter. Gauri leaves for Paris, understanding what is happening. Eight months later, Ishaan and his baby girl Diya talk to Gauri, who is returning soon, while Anushka is happily married to another man.

The film was earlier expected to release in December 2012; it was pushed to March 2013.[9] The theatrical trailer was released on 28 January 2013.[7][8]

I, Me aur Main received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. Alisha Coelho of in.com gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that the movie was "proof that a movie with John Abraham as the lead can be your time and money's worth and that Bollywood can (if it tried) make love stories that don't defy common sense and good taste."[10] Nishi Tiwari for Rediff.com has given 2/5 stars and says I, Me Aur Main has its moments but falters badly with its plot.[11] Simon Foster for sbs.com.au has given 2/5 stars and says "Action Man Fails To Make Dramatic Jump.[12]
