Thuggee: Mola Ram
built 640 days ago
In the Guru’s ceremony, he tells the Thuggee of their common quest to rid the world of their detractors. Later in the film, as Cutter’s hostage, the Guru goes into a monologue in which he waxes poetic about his quest to conquer all India and the world. Mola Ram delivers a very similar speech to Indiana Jones as he tortures him and forces him to drink the Thuggee blood. He speaks of the Thuggee casting down the gods of other religions and turning the world to the Thuggee cult.

In 1933, Indiana Jones and Marya Smirnova confronted the fellowship of a resurrected Thuggee temple in Bhubaneshwar. Two years later, Jones encountered another resurgent Thuggee congregation at Pankot Palace, led by the high priest Mola Ram.

According to the (excellent) novelization of the movie, when Indy is under the Thuggee spell, he believes that there is a black snake coiled in his chest. When he is given an order by Mola Ram, if he tries to resist, the snake squeezes his heart until he complies with the order.

The actual look of Mola Ram is remarkably similar to the character of the Guru, and understandably so. There is obvious and intentional continuity in the Thuggee leader of Mola Ram when compared to the Guru. Both are captivating, sage-like men with shaven heads and hypnotic eyes, accompanied by almost psychotic smiles.
