Plot
'Gulab Nagar Junglees' are a bunch of youngsters, namely Guru, Gyani, Bull, Bablu, Shekhar and Ajay. These youngsters, under the coaching and guidance of Sweety Aunty, hone their cricket skills and go against a bunch of big bad bullies, who would play the game but never by the rules. Meanwhile, Col. Singh and Sweety Aunty are the die-hard supporters of the youngsters. Thakral, a wealthy businessman, is often at odds with the youngsters, subjecting them to one challenge after another. The youngsters take on challenge after challenge to get out of every tough situation they find themselves in. As a result, each episode is a cricket match against a new set of opponents. While the opponents vary, the youngsters often find themselves pitted against Thakral, who intends to acquire the Gulab Nagar Society land.
