Hrithik is fighting fit in Mohenjo Daro - as Sarman, he conveys simplicity and strength, passion and purity with golden-locked ease. Although controlled, his performance shows glimpses of the superstar panache that once had everyone singing, kaha na pyaar hai.
Mohenjo Daro should've had many more grand moments. As it is, it's less Ben Hur and more Amrapali - sans the sex appeal of Vyjanthimala's bustiers. However, its scale and imagination make it an interesting watch - as does the intriguing notion of Hrithik as India's first pratham sevak. Moments of such imagination showcase Ashutosh Gowarikar s ability to travel across time and find stories of humanity resisting forced lagans and lagaans, fighting to survive another eon.
