Plot[]
The story revolves around a boy named Joy (Sumeet Pathak), who is disliked by most of his peers as well as his brother for his innocent personality. Joy's mother and two of his friends, Meenu and Chhota Papi, are the only individuals who support him. One day, Joy and his family are attacked by some thugs and he tries to save them. However, Joy's mother gets harmed and his brother begins disliking him even more.
Due to all these bad things happening in his life, Joy goes to Durga's temple to get help so that she can make him smart and intelligent like his brother. Due to his innocence and indomitable will, the god is impressed and gives him a magical ring through which he can transform himself into a superhero named "HERO". Goddess Durga also transforms his beloved toys Dholu (Nirmal Soni) and Babli (Rupali Suri) into living beings but only for the time when Joy is in his Hero form. Here is the start of a new journey of Joy's life in which he saves the Earth from powerful supervillains and demons.
