Mohomaya (2021) S01

Mohomaya , the five-part series on Hoichoi, opens with a scene so agonisingly gratuitous that it puts the shady reputation of the streaming platform–peddling soft porn as creatively inert series–to shame. No words can suffice in approximating the horror but let me try. A half-naked man indulges in what is possibly the worst shot BDSM in the history of sex scenes, as a woman, her back turned to him, wears an animal mask. The digitally amplified lashing noise is punctuated by her moaning. I am assuming at this point someone from the crew thought there still remained some ambiguity. Mohomaya Season 1-2 Download

Mohomaya, directed by Kamaleshwar Mukherjee, tries to be a lot of things — portrait of a lonely domestic wife, a commentary on female violence and a resuscitation of Freud’s Oedipus theory. But the only thing it achieves with unflinching clarity is to be a creative outrage of aesthetic sensibilities. Across the 35-minute runtime of five episodes, two stories unfold simultaneously. One consists of a regular family residing in a palatial sort of home but for some reason have only a Scooty as their only mode of transport.

Rishi comes to live as a paying guest in his childhood friend Miki’s house. Rishi soon forms a bond with Aruna who he starts seeing as his mother. But Rishi’s obsession eventually pushes him towards a past he always wanted to escape from.
