Rating: 2.5/5
When Mohenjo Daro’s trailer came out, it got historians laughing with extravagant sets and over-the-top sequences.
It turns out the movie – which stars Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde – is no better. The film that narrates the story of the Indus Valley civilization appears to be a mish-mash of director Ashutosh Gowarikar’s previous movies.
It has the grandeur of his 2008 epic Jodhaa Akbar, the sincerity from his Oscar-nominated 2001 movie Lagaan and the lack of any substance from his forgettable 2010 flick Khelein Hum Jeee Jaan Sey.
Set in 2016 BC, Mohenjo Daro is the story of an indigo farmer Sarman ( Hrithik) who goes to the market place in Mohenjo Daro, finds his love and chances upon certain atrocities that he decides to fight against.
