Dev is a high school dropout and a worthless village lad. He is hell-bent on getting married but the girl he wants to marry rejects him, stating he doesn't have a college education. Dev, who is clever and street-smart decides to go toKolkata for further education. While traveling on the train, he bashes up a bunch of rowdies teasing college girls. At the college in Kolkata, he meets Riya and falls in love with her. A city gangster, Rudra, is in love with her and blackmails her to marry him. He beats anyone moving closely with Riya. Meanwhile, henchmen of the dreaded chieftain Dubai Keshto, fromDubai, are looking for Dev in the city. Dev then tries to take Riya but later comes to know that Dubai Keshto's daughter, Kavita, loves him after noticing his fight on the train. Then he pretends to leave Riya and marry Kavita, hatching a plan to take Riya and elope with her. Dev explains to Kavita about her attraction towards Dev, stating that it's not love, it's infatuation. Dev also tells her that what love is and how it happens, thus she gets his point correctly. When Dev explains to Riya why he shunned her in front of Dubai Keshto, Riya gets to understand the plan and co-operates with him. But it goes awry at the first attempt because of Rudra and Dubai Keshto's interference (as Rudra had told him earlier that Dev can't be a loyal son-in-law for him, saying not to trust him.). Dev tries to explain to her that he can't be her love anymore, he loves Kavita and no one is as special as her, thus fooling Keshto and proving Rudra wrong. How Dev make things clear and explains Dubai Keshto about his love for Riya after a lot of fun and confusion forms the rest of the story.

A critic from theTimes of India rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Paglu 2 is a typical commercial Bengali film. Want to enjoy a mad ride over the weekend? Paglu 2 s too tempting to say no." He praised the chemistry between the lead pair, situational comedy, Tota and Rajatava's prolific acting, Jeet Ganguli's music and the costume designer but bemoaned Dev's poor diction and the over excessive number of songs.[12]
