The background music and the songs of the series are unique and mind-blowing. Pradipta Bhattacharya has always experimented with music in his content and Birohi is no exception. The series is an example of how good stories can be developed in a rural setting and how they can engage audiences.
Birohi is the story of a village of the same name where young boys stay intoxicated with a strange type of weed, ‘Haba’, and adults keep themselves busy making bombs. A young man searching for a job gets the job of a teacher in Birohi, where no students come to the school. He does not want to continue his job there so he tries to transfer himself to somewhere else by bribing political leaders. He meets a girl who works for an NGO and starts falling for her. They start dating each other but new problems follow him.
