The much awaited period movie by Lagaan<\/strong> and Jodha Akbar<\/strong> fame Ashutosh Gowariker,<\/strong> Mohenjo Daro<\/strong> is about to release in August.<\/strong> The makers have been dropping posters<\/strong> for the movie for quite some time now. But it was today<\/strong> that the official trailer<\/strong> of the movie released. In spite of carrying the trademark lavishness<\/strong> and seriousness<\/strong> of an Ashutosh Gowariker movie,<\/strong> this still does not connect so well<\/strong> with the viewers. And although it is gaining rapid likes on YouTube,<\/strong> the same platform is also attracting some critical comments.<\/strong> Is the trailer good or bad? Read the Mohenjo Daro Trailer Review<\/strong> by us below.<\/p>\n

About Mohenjo Daro<\/h2>\n

Mohenjo Daro<\/strong> is a period movie written and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker<\/strong> and features Hrithik Roshan,<\/strong> Pooja Hegde, Arunoday Singh<\/strong> and Kabir Bedi<\/strong> in it. The movie is produced by UTV Motion Pictures<\/strong> along with Ashutosh Gowariker<\/strong> Productions.<\/strong> The movie is set to release on 12th August 2016<\/strong> (A.D.).<\/p>\n

From what appears to be in the trailer, the movie will follow Sarman<\/strong>(Hrithik Roshan), an indigo farmer from Amri, who has some connection with the city of Mohenjo Daro<\/strong> that he doesn’t know of yet. There the evil man ‘Maham<\/strong>‘(Kabir Bedi) is about to destroy the city and Sarman comes to know it. He will discover his past connections with the city and will fall in love with Chaani<\/strong>(Pooja Hegde), who appears to be some sort of princess.<\/p>\n

Mohenjo Daro Trailer Analysis<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well, one of the major attractions of the trailer is that it successfully takes the audience to the concerned era through various aerial shots<\/strong> and landscape sceneries<\/strong> of the city. The\u00a0dialect<\/strong> that the characters speak in the start of the trailer\u00a0tries to add to that. And even if we are no experts<\/strong> in history, it somehow does not sound convincing<\/strong> enough.<\/p>\n

Talking about the cinematography<\/strong> showcased in the trailer, most of the shots look straight away lifted<\/strong> from other movies. For instance, the shot that introduces Hrithik<\/strong> in the trailer reminds\u00a0us of literally any Salman Khan movie<\/strong> ever(literally used in a figurative sense).<\/p>\n

Since we mentioned Hrithik, I would like to point out that Hrithik looked a little too over the top<\/strong> in this trailer. We sensed a pinch of overacting<\/strong> mixed in his screentime. However, other main characters, Kabir Bedi<\/strong> and Arunoday Singh<\/strong> look menacing.<\/strong> Kabir Bedi would be one of the few reasons that we will be watching this movie. Pooja Hegde,<\/strong> despite being the female lead,<\/strong> does not get any spoken lines in the trailer. She looks royal<\/strong> and beautiful,<\/strong> though.<\/p>\n

The visual effects of this trailer make you remember Baahubali.<\/strong> Don’t get us wrong, we are not equating the two. It’s just that, the effects make you want to say ‘Baahubali mein Better the boss<\/em>‘(Baahubali had better effects, boss). However, the trailer gets full marks for the authenticity<\/strong> of the city<\/strong>(city, city, see what we did there?? *hihihi<\/em>*). The scenes showing the grand nature of the city of Mohenjo Daro are the best part of the trailer. They really set up the importance of the city as a character<\/strong> in the movie.<\/p>\n

The music<\/strong> that is used in the trailer is one of the best parts of the trailer. It does make the trailer look much more important<\/strong> than it otherwise is. We will\u00a0be eagerly waiting for the music release of Mohenjo Daro.<\/p>\n

Hard to take all of that in? Watch the trailer here<\/strong> as you read the analysis again.<\/p>\n
