Charactersticks
· Motu: Motu is a fat man who serves as the one of the show's main protagonists. He likes to eat samosas. His best friend is Patlu. He often lands in trouble because of his actions. He is always looking for the easiest way to earn money, have fun and get to eat lot of samosas, even if it means landing himself in trouble. Sometimes he gets over-expressive while celebrating his victory and can do something very foolish, like bringing back a pirate into the present who they had sent recently back to the past. He is also shown bragging about something he has never done. But he is a good man who wants to help others. He wears a red tunic with a navy blue (though mostly black) vest, yellow Pyjamas, and shoes. His talking accent looks influenced by Dara Singh.
· Patlu: Patlu is a thin man who serves as the one of the show's main protagonists. He is often portrayed as the smartest guy in the whole city. He often gets into trouble along with Motu but he manages to help himself and Motu when they land in trouble. He always advises Motu to be in their normal track and thus lead a "danger free" life, but he can always be coaxed (or forced) by Motu into helping him. He dislikes samosas but loves to read newspapers. He wears a yellow tunic with orange leggings, black-framed glasses, and brown shoes.
· Dr. Jhatka: Dr. Jhatka is an inventor. His talking style is like a sardar, so he is referred as a punjabi. His inventions are very good and successful but not useful to the people. In fact, instead of helping people, the inventions land the people in trouble. Jhatka is known by his balding hair, green shirt, violet neck tie, and blue jeans. His design is a parallel version of Motu.[2]
· Ghasita Ram: Ghasita Ram has a 20 years experience in every field but none of the experience is useful to anyone. He is from West Bengal. Almost like Dr. Jhatka, his so-called "experiences of 20 years" often land people, especially Motu and Patlu, in trouble. His design is a parallel version of Patlu. He wears a cobalt blue tunic, purple dhoti, dark brown vest, and shoes of the same color.
· Chaiwala: A man who lives near Motu's house. He is the only one who makes samosas in the whole Furfuri Nagar which is the favourite of Motu. Motu steals the samosas from his shop and doesn't give the money to him. Motu gets a lot of power by eating samosas of Chaiwala. After eating samosas he shows aggression and can beat anyone, although the chaiwala doesn't like his samosas to be eaten for free. He occasionally rewards Motu by exempting him from the money Motu owes him or even promising him free samosas when he saves him or other residents of Furfuri Nagar.
