But Batman devotee of a Boudi has no interest on his newly married wife. Even the ‘ghunghat’ of the bride is yet to unveil. But Batman knows about his friends who all are crazy about Boudi decided that he would keep his wife in a different house rather than in the mess bari. So, when he arranges for a rented house he is trapped by a widow and horny landlady named Chopola. However, all the Thakurpos came to know about this new Boudi and with various techniques all of them fantasizes her and wants to woo her. Though everyone knew that this Boudi is ‘gaon-ki-sidhi-sadhi’ girl but she has some different plans!
