Mohenjo Daro quick movie review: Hrithik Roshan, Ashutosh Gowariker win on scale, lose on substance

Mohenjo Daro movie review: This Hrithik Roshan film is a lost cause

But in the process of recreating a prehistoric period for a feature film, Gowariker has made history appear almost comical. Half way through the film, neither does it manage to arouse historical curiosity nor is the romance and drama gripping enough to be called a great piece of cinematic art.

However the film’s appeal lies in the director ‘s imaginative capabilities. Gowariker makes Mohenjo Daro appear like what a city like Mumbai or Delhi would look like to someone coming from a village for the first time. The film might definitely not be Ashutosh’s best, but you have to give him credit for stimulating the imagination.

Where the film fails to work in the acting department. In fact, in some instances, it almost appears amateur. The script is pretty mundane too. Serious history lovers may find parts of Mohenjo Daro amusing. Ardent film lovers will find it tedious and boring.

The only two reasons you might want to watch the film post intermission is to get some humour out of history or to drool over the Greek god like looks of Hrithik Roshan.
