Maganlal is a good judge of human character. He lured "Bikash Singh", secretary of "Umanath Ghoshal", to steal the invaluable 'Ganesh Murti' from the Ghoshal-house. He also has a special interest in humiliating "Jatayu". In "Joi Baba Felunath" he made Jatayu the subject of a knife-throwing play. In "Jato Kando Kathmandute", he purposefully slips an LSD-laced sugar cube in Jatayu's tea. In his third appearance, he made Jatayu to sing a Tagore song (which Jatayu said his first time experience of singing a song). Surprisingly, he shows a queer fondness to Jatayu and usually calls him 'Uncle'.
