Plot
The story is about Brojoraj Karforma, also known as "Brojo Da" an experienced office clerk, who usually comes to the office very late and likes to chat with everyone. The main point of his story is his fictional heroic deeds. First he tries to knock out a freestyle wrestler with simple Bengali style. The entire audience actually tries to tell him that it is a dangerous game. But Brojo Da never listens to anyone, so he decides to fight the man and wins. Then when some young men around him ask him to arrange some tickets for a test match, he tells them about his heroism about cricket. Once he stroked the ball so hard that it broke into two pieces. One part was lost and the other part was caught by the fielder. Everyone is so impressed about his heroism that no one questions it and no one questions him about the umpire's decision. Again in the office he tells the other colleagues that he is a very close friend of Charlie Chaplin and presents an idea about his filming experience. Suddenly his boss comes and accuses him of not working. This is basically a story that actually narrates about the story and lifestyle of Brojo Da.
