Billoo is usually depicted roaming around the streets along with his pet puppy named Moti. While in home he sticks to watching television all the time. Billoo, along with his friends which includes Jozi, Mono, Gabdu, Bishamber always compete with Bajarangi, who is a wrestler and his henchman Dhakkan. The two groups always find different issues to put each other down and showoff their victory. Jozi, a girl, is one of the close friends of Billoo, but her dad, who is a Colonel named Three-not-Three, dislikes him and chases him with a gun most of the time.
