Battle Programmer Shirase, also known as BPS, is a free programmer with super hacking abilities who doesn't work for money. What he does work for is certainly something that only people like him would appreciate. But, his demeanor certainly doesn't suit the jobs he is hired for. With the evil King of America causing trouble via the internet, Shirase is nothing but busy as each new adventure brings even more interesting people into the picture.

Inspired by the famous Gujarati column 𝗗𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗡𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗵𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗺𝗮 by Taarak Mehta, this show captures the everyday life in Gokuldham Co-operative Society, addressing socially relevant issues with humor. At its heart is Jethalal, an uneducated Gujarati businessman, who often seeks guidance from his wise neighbor and friend, Taarak Mehta. Jethalal lives with his naive yet lovable wife Daya Ben and their mischievous son Tapu, whose antics frequently disrupt the peace of the society. The members often warn Jethalal to control Tapu or face eviction. In desperation, he calls his father, Champaklal, from the village, hoping he’ll instill discipline in Tapu. Instead, the grandfather-grandson duo teams up, creating even more chaos and turning Jethalal’s life into a comedic roller coaster. The show blends family dynamics, friendship, and neighborhood bonds with a dose of satire and laughter.
