Mohenjo Daro Review

Nearly two years is a long time to wait between Hrithik Roshan movies. My neighbor and I didn't care what the reviews said, or the mocking of her husband. We were bound and determined to spend two and half hours with Hrithik. My neighbor had no idea who the director was, but expectations naturally run high when Ashutosh Gowariker, whose works include Lagaan, Jodhaa Akbar and Swades returns to the helm after a six year absence. And therein lies the rub. The reviews have been harsh, because we expect so much, both from Gowariker and Hrithik. This film was a swing for the rafters and a big miss. The trepidation started with the trailer. That fight with the crocodile looked fake, and the story didn't seem very compelling. Annnd, my fears were born out. I think it was good that I had read a few reviews, and watched Anupama Chopra's disappointed savaging. I went last night knowing it would be a hot mess, and just went along for the ride.
