In Dholakpur princess Indumati and a few other girls are kidnaped by Mangal Singh. Bheem enters and saves Chutki, princess Indumati and all the other prisoners. We also see that Jaggu, Bholu, Dholu, Raju, Chutki & Kalia are planning their friend Bheem's secret birthday party while Damyaan, a demon who years ago, was granted immortality by the Book of Magi along with a curse that he would be confined to the city of Sonapur, wants to escape from this confinement and get back his power and kingdom.

Damyaan's minister Skandi hijacks a convoy headed for Dholakpur and meets King Indravarma as the person sent to deliver the convoy. Bheem notices that something does not feel right with Skandi and the rest of his gang but before he can speak to the King, Skandi tells him about the depleting treasury of Dholakpur and the hidden treasures of Sonapur, thus luring him.In truth,Skandi tries to trick Dholakpur.

The king agrees to go to the city in search of that hidden treasure. Despite being warned by the gypsies, he starts his journey along with Bheem and his friends. After reaching the city, the king unknowingly sets Damyaan free through the great demon entrance.

The demon captures the king, Chhota Bheem and his friends in a prison. Chhota Bheem manages to set his friends free through his wit and strength. Bheem then meets Singhala, who tells him that the only way to get prisoners free from Damyaan's capture is defeating the demon by destroying the Book of Magi. Then Singhala sends them back in time where the while trying to find the Book of Magi. A fight ensues, and in the process, Dholu and Bholu are turned into frogs.

Bheem somehow manages to defeat them and dons their clothes along with his friends and enters Sonapur pretending to be a bunch of Kaalsainiks. Soon another group of Kaalsainiks arrive and a sweet shop owner named Gulabchand figures out that Bheem and his team are not Kaalsainiks and manages to save the group. In the process Bheem is wounded and faints while passing through the magical door. Upon regaining consciousness, he observes that Dholu and Bholu have regained their respective human forms.

The sage who saves them, Guru Sambhu, tells them that despite being brave and strong, they cannot defeat Damyaan without magic. He then takes them to a magical place and through a song, teaches magic to the group. After completing their class on magic, he provides them with powers: Raju gets a magical bow and arrow which never misses its aim; Chutki gets two magical trees; Jaggu gets a bunch of magical stinging bananas; Kalia gets the power to become invisible; Dholu and Bholu get the power to multiply into a hundred Dholus and Bholus and Bheem gets an hymn to seize the power of the enemy which was not decoded till date. At night they hear sounds of fireworks and celebrations, which are of the end of the second term of Damyaan's Kaalkriya , which involves trapping ghosts for their powers in three different rings in three terms by using the hymns given the Book of Magi. Bheem and his team are teleported to Damyaan's castle. Using their respective powers, they manage to seize the first ring, but while seizing the second ring, Kalia activates a trap which covers them in a strange gas. Upon recovering, Bheem comes to know that they have been captured by Damyaan.

Damyaan tells Bheem that in an hour it will be Bheem's birthday and that he has decided to give him a "birthday gift"- watching his friends die. In an instant, Bheem decodes the hymn and releases his friends.

They fight and defeat the Kaalsainiks while Bheem defeats Damyaan in a fight without magic. with an ambition of ruling the world. Bheem eventually beats up Damyaan and sacrifices him.
