Movie Review: Mohanjo Daro Ratings: 3.5/5 Genre: Drama/History/Romance
Director Ashutosh Gowariker is known for his Historical movies like Lagaan and Jodha Akbar. These time He has chosen the historic subject of Mohenjo Daro and Harappa Civilization. but let me clear these is not a biography or real life based story. Its a work of fiction. Will Mohenjo Daro will succeed like other historic movies of Ashutosh or will disappoint on Box Office. Lets analyze...
The Movie starts with the era of 2016 BC in the North West region with an introduction of Sarman (Hrithik Roshan) and his fight with giant Crocodile. Sarman has dream to visit Mohenjo Daro, but due to some reasons his uncle and aunt refuses him to go there. One day Sarman's aunt and uncle gives him permission to visit Mohenjo Daro with an identity coin. when sarman reaches to Mohenjo Daro, amongst the many other things, he sees to Chaani (Pooja Hegde), the daughter of a religious pandit. One day, Sarman visits the 'upper city' in search of Chaani. It is here, that Sarman, besides being stunned and witnesses the disparity that prevails under the rule of the evil ruler Maham (Kabir Bedi), who had once been earlier exiled from Harappa. the pandit reveals a secret to Sarman that shocks him. What is the secret that Sarman gets to know ? what is his connection with the city of Mohenjo Daro? what forms the rest of the story.
Mohenjo Daro's first half is little bit slow but the movie picks up in second half. Second half is better then first half. Climax could have been better. If we talk about Performances, Its only and only Hrithik Roshan who carries full movie on his shoulders till end. He is excellent as always. Pooja Hegde looks charming but her performance is average. Kiren Bedi is good in evil ruler role.
A.R. Rehman's music is strictly OK. Background score is decent. Cinematography is an above average.
Overall, Mohenjo Daro is an Above Average historical fictional tale which appeals only in parts. Mohenjo Daro will have to really stand on audience's positive words of mouth against competitor like Rustom.
