And lest you thought they were not accessorised to the hilt in 2016 BC, perish it: the villainous chief wears a headgear of horns (the happily hamming Kabir Bedi, who carries it off with a raffish air) to an alarmingly tall crown of what looks like feathers, coins and shells sported by the leading lady (the debutant Pooja Hegde, who looks much better without, and may fare better in her next).In between is leading man Hrithik Roshan as poor indigo farmer Sarman, a resident of village Samri of the Sindh province, who has set his heart on going to neighbouring big town Mohenjo-daro. The sepia tone of the earth and the dwellings is balanced by an array of costumery: everyone looks like they have been handed out unstructured earth-toned garments, which follow the latest fashion du jour. Mohenjo Daro, set in Mohenjo-daro of the Indus Valley civilisation, is bigger but certainly not better than these two Gowariker's earlier outings. Instead of a few hundred years, you would go back a couple of thousands, ditching the merely old for the seriously antique. Last Word: Go for crazy action & thrill, not for twist & suspense.If you had to recreate an ancient civilisation, what would you do? If you are Ashutosh Gowariker, and have had lots of experience in excavating the past (Lagaan, Jodhaa Akbar), you would scale it up. Abraham Both girl looks really stylish & charming. This time Saif outperform Abraham with mature dialogue delivery.
Except Ameesha, everyone is perfect in their roles. Be ready for RACE 3 as story is left open. Climax Plane scene is not effective as expected. But in 2nd half their is no suspense like Race(2008) with lots of loopholes.
First half is very good with excellently shot chase scene(first of its kind in Bollywood), twist & turns(not like Race), action(fist fight in 2nd half), grey shades characters, glamor and of course countless money. It is a type of movie where different people will have different opinion.
Abbas-Mustan is back with their patented ingredient of Suspense Thriller(More of thriller this time) & they serve it cold.
