Residing in Batkulla, a township in Bengal with her family, Bulti is a small town girl who is brilliant in studies. Beyond her expectations, she manages to score the highest marks in the West Bengal board examination. This creates a roaring buzz as a "small town girl" from an unrecognized school has beaten the "scholars" from all the renowned English medium schools of Kolkata. From local sources, media representatives of a popular News Channel follow the story and without any delay, they visit Bulti's school only to take her along to their studio, located in Kolkata. Bulti's father tags along. What follows is a series of craze and madness that takes place in the news studio while back in Batkulla it's a chaotic day of celebration & festivity in Bulti's residence, school & neighborhood. The story culminates as the tiring day of Bulti and her father comes to an end with a happy realization.

পশ্চিমবঙ্গের বাতকুল্লা নামক এক ছোট জেলার বাসিন্দা বুল্টি। প্রচন্ড মেধাবী সে। একসময় তার মেধার জোরে নিজের প্রত্যাশার বাইরে সে পশ্চিমবঙ্গের বোর্ড পরীক্ষায় সাফল্য অর্জন করে। কলকাতার প্রখ্যাত বিদ্যালয়ের ছাত্রদের হার মানানো বুল্টিকে নিয়ে চারপাশে হৈ-চৈ পড়ে যায়। চ্যানেলে চ্যানেলে তাকে নিয়ে খবর প্রচারিত হয়। নিউস চ্যানেল এর রিপোর্টার এর সাথে বুল্টি পাড়ি দেয় কলকাতা শহরে, সাথে বুল্টির বাবা। এদিকে বুল্টির বাড়ী সকাল থেকে পাড়া প্রতিবেশী আর আত্মীয় স্বজনে ভর্তি। কিন্তু তারপর আসে নতুন ব্রেকিং নিউজ, বদলে যায় সবকিছু। সারাদিনের ধকল সামলে বুল্টি বাবার হাত ধরে বাড়ী ফেরে কিছু নতুন উপলব্ধি সঙ্গে নিয়ে।
