Often the unsung hero, Hashmi provides the human heart. His character serves as the translator of ancient texts and the moral compass. In a show full of gods and demons, Lol represents the confused, scared, but brave ordinary person.

The show also does not shy away from criticizing blind faith. Dhananjay’s atheism is given equal weight. He argues that attributing mundane evil to "ancient curses" is the real crime. This duality prevents the series from becoming a religious tract.
