Mookajjiya Kanasugalu is a 2019 Kannada film directed by P. Sheshadri, based on the Jnanpith Award-winning novel of the same name by K. Shivaram Karanth.

As a result, Mookajji now lives in her maternal house with her brother's grandson, Subbaraya and his wife Seetha who have two children.

One day Subbaraya brings a small wicker basket to Mookajji so that she can store her betel nuts in it.

Naagi is noticed by a rich merchant in the village named Sheenappa who begins to lust after her.

Naagi is then forced to make wicker baskets for a living to support herself and her child.

A few days later, Seetha sees Naagi and her daughter who are thirsty and invites them to her house to offer them some refreshments.

Subbaraya continues to bring various artefacts such as old bones and tools he found in a cave.

Thippi tells Subbaraya that Mookajji underwent a drastic change that day and stopped talking, except for occasional rants about people accusing them of wrongdoings which would later turn out to be true.

Her silence had earned her the name of "Mookajji" (translation from Kannada: Mooka = Mute; Ajji = Grandmother).

Although hesitant at first, Subbaraya agrees to after his wife insists that he make Mookajji as a priority.

Anant Rao Mookajji confronts her grandson's friend who has come on a visit to their village.

When Mookajji questions him about his refusal to be married, he cites his spiritual life as reason for it.

Moojajjiya Kanasugalu began its shoot in coastal Karnataka on 10 October 2018, to coincide with 116th birth anniversary of Karanth.
