Banku Babu’s main source of income is from his small grocery shop, and he is married to a beautiful woman named Alo, played by Tridha Choudhury.

However, Banku Babu has always had a passion for acting and has been dreaming of becoming an actor since his childhood. One day, a talent scout comes to his village and involves him in a film shoot happening in the nearby town. Banku Babu jumps at the opportunity and leaves the village to fulfill his lifelong dream.

The movie has a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, particularly in scenes where Banku Babu is interacting with the film industry insiders who are often shown to be over-the-top and melodramatic.
