The film’s comedic engine remains its leads: Gopal (Ajay Devgn), Madhav (Arshad Warsi), Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor), Laxman (Kunal Khemu), and the silent Babli (Shreyas Talpade). Their index entry is defined by perpetual fear and greed. Unlike previous films where they were active con artists, here they are victims of circumstance. Their primary function is to react—to the haunted mansion, to mysterious voices, and to their own cowardice. The introduction of a new member (Parmeet Sethi’s character) adds a layer of "enemy within," but the index quickly categorizes him as a predictable foil. Their comedic value relies heavily on physical slapstick (falling, screaming) and sound-effects-driven gags, making them more reactive clowns than proactive tricksters.
