Mohenjo Daro Review by Sreeju Sudhakaran on Bollywood Life What one fails to understand is how can someone like Ashutosh Gowariker, who is known for making some of brilliant films, can go so wrong with MOHENJO DARO. Ashutosh Gowariker, despite his goliath attempt in fictionally (re)creating the Mohenjo Daro civilisation, fails to convince the viewers about the same.
The film’s climax only makes things worse. The film’s second half totally takes the steam off the film. While the film’s first half is slow, the film’s extremely dragged second half acts more villainous. It just won’t be wrong to say that in the name of ‘cinematic liberties’, Ashutosh Gowariker has taken the audiences sense and patience for granted. Mohenjo Daro lacks the deft touch of a Swades or a Lagaan.Īshutosh Gowariker, who has always emerged a winner with his previous attempts at historic and period films, fails miserably with MOHENJO DARO as a director. How did Gowariker allow it to appear in the final movie? It is painful to see that Gowariker has forgotten to make his brand of epic sagas after Jodha Akbar. There’s also the terrible visual effects work in the climax. It all feels a bit disjointed where we get to see snippets of life from that era for a few scenes and then a cheesy love story for the next few scenes and the cycle continues. Ashutosh Gowariker does a neat job of placing the love story in that era but the movie doesn’t quite come together in the end. It is a love story which happens to be a fantasy and has the setting of the Indus valley civilization as its background. First things first, Mohenjo Daro is not a historical drama or a historical romance.
