The spate of horror-comedy flicks in Kollywood does not seem to decline, and going by the number of impressive attempts made in this genre, it is likely that the trend is here to stay for a longer time. The latest film to join the bandwagon is Mo, which elicits curiosity owing to its short and intriguing title. A few minutes into the film, when viewers think that they are in for another movie which falls under the horror-comedy genre, the director takes a different path and we, the audience, heave a sigh of relief.
Dev (Suresh Ravi), Sathish (Ramesh Thilak) and Kumar (Darbuka Siva) are conmen who enjoy making money by deceiving people in varied ways. Their selfishness to earn more in a safer way makes them to don the roles of shamans as they learn that exploiting the fear among others is one of the best ways to survive. They join hands with an aspiring actress Priya (Aishwarya Rajesh) and a makeup man who works in films, Joseph Chellappa (Muniskanth), to carry out their plans. The five-member team create the presence of a ghost in an apartment and performs a fake exorcism successfully, thus winning the trust of the inmates there. The secretary of the apartment, Vetri (Selva), who is into real estate business, becomes very impressed with their work and thanks them heartfully. However, a suspicious Vetri spoils their drama next time when they try a similar exorcism act in another apartment.
