Khoka with his super wit starts to obtain every luxury that a perfect office should have and starts to hoax Bhaiji. Problems occur when Khoka falls in love with Bhaiji's sister Pooja ( Subhashree Ganguly). Anyone who even looks in her direction is simply dealt with in the cruelest possible way. Khoka somehow manages to win over Pooja and also gains the complete trust of Bhaiji by changing the system in which his business operates.

That's how our super-clever Chalu Cheez Khokababu takes the story ahead.
