Mohenjo Daro: 2 years of research and hard work, rejected in a day

29 mins agoby Indicine TeamAdd Comment2 min read


Rustom has emerged victorious in the clash against Mohenjo Daro. The industry is celebrating - because niche films like Rustom' do not usually achieve the kind of success that the crime-thriller has.

Akshay Kumar is getting all the accolades, not just for the success of his film, but also for the film-choices that he has made in the recent past.

All well deserved.

But while one camp is rejoicing, let's take a moment to reflect on the pain that the makers of Mohenjo Daro are going through. Almost all films and actors have faced rejection at some point in their career, but a film like Mohenjo Daro probably hurts more than others.

2 years of hard, tons of research, sleepless nights, the lead star of the film battling through a personal low during the shooting schedule and suffered several injuries. The rest of the cast and crew also worked tirelessly in extremely difficult conditions to shoot for the film.

Hrithik Roshan Look in Mohenjo Daro

All of that meant nothing as Mohenjo Daro was rejected on the first day itself. The footfalls (tickets sold) of the film will be the lowest for a Hrithik Roshan starrer in a long long time. More than the audience rejecting the film, what'll really hurt everyone involved is the fact that majority of the audience did not even watch the film. That's the least that you expect after all the struggle - a fair chance for your film. Mohenjo Daro did not even get that.

Hrithik's presence ensured a face-saving total, without which Mohenjo Daro could well have been a Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey' for Ashutosh Gowariker.

Where does the acclaimed director of a Oscar nomination film go from here, that too after three back-to-back failures? Will Pooja Hegde get another chance? Will Hrithik make a strong comeback with Kaabil? These are some of the many questions that'll be asked in the next few days.

Very sad to see this film is going to be a disaster, it's a good film and Hrithik was great. It deserved atleast a semi hit tag. Oh well, maybe this is a year of great performances in movies flopping just like Fan was SRK's best.

In a way it's a lesson for HR that he won't give two years to films and starts doing relatively easier and smaller films so that his fans don't have to wait for so long.

I don't expect much from Kaabil too, because it's possible that industry will once again decide to boycott HR film , but still will wish that after six months we rejoice his success. Thankfully this time only a wait of six months, and hope HR promotes Kaabil heavily.

Mohenjo Daro First Week Box Office Collections

2 hours ago
1 min read

Mohenjo Daro has sustained well at the domestic box office, crossing the 50 crore mark by the end of its first week. It's a poor total, because most big films cross the 50 crore in 2-3 days, but it also goes to show that Mohenjo Daro hasn't faced complete rejection.

The film has done reasonably well, given the poor start that it took and has also shown excellent growth of nearly 45% on Raksha Bandhan. The problem in the second weekend will be the lesser number of shows. The show count has reduced by more than 60% from Week 1.

The Hrithik Roshan starrer has collected around $3.5 million in its first week overseas, which should help take the film beyond 100 crore worldwide (gross) by the end of its run.

Mohenjo Daro is a box office flop.

W*F ? It has shown growth ? 😲 .. well something is better than nothing.. This makes it more disappointing that i wish the film would have a lesser budget and had not clashed, may be it would not flop..

lol it slightly grew yesterday because it was a holiday due to Raksha Bandhan. Today it will crash and won't collect more than 1 cr. Just wait for today's collection before questioning my judgement.

Lol.. No thank you .. you had predicted so many things before, not for Mohenjo daro but other films too, for example 150 cr life time for PRDP 😆 ..

1cr or not, it is a flop so collections do not matter any more.
