Mojo (2017 film)

Mōjo is a 2017 Indian Kannada drama film written and directed by Sreesha Belakvaadi.

Plot
Protagonist Mohan (acted by Manu) experiences rushes of his Subconscious Power, in particular the ability to see future (Precognitive power of Sixth Sense). Mohan works through different psychiatrists to understand his mental explosions and ends up meeting his college mate Maya (acted by Anoosha). While Maya has a contradicting story to tell, Mohan believes his experiences are real. What follows from there forms the plot and subplot of MOJO; Mohan's sixth sense entraps him into a crisis ― a bizarre maze of Murder, Crime, Suspect, Love and Enigma. Whether the murder happened at all, whether Mohan's Sixth Sense is real (or imaginative), whether Maya the character exists (or a hallucination) ― all get answered as the movie hits a bewildering climax leaving the audience in a state of "Want to watch second time".
