The story is formulaic, down right predictable and unexciting. The characters right from the hero to the Supporting characters to the extras are clichèd, The hero who's destined to save everyone, Check. The heroine, the beautiful heroine for the hero to court, Check. The chubby supportive sidekick, Check. The loving worrying parents/guardians, Check. The bad guy with bad guy looks and his
son who is equally bad, Check. ohh and the clichè village extras who agrees with whatever the hero say, also Check!
The film loses focus at times, and the pacing is hurt mostly by the romance angle, it takes way too much time, and there isn't much chemistry between the actors.
The music is good, and the choreography is nice and fun to watch. The original background score is also amazing, it fits with the atmosphere of the film, and it'ss enhances the fighting sequences.
The performances are fine; Rothik Roshan is good in lead role, he's got the looks and all and he played the character as it should played, nothing special about his performance. Pooja Hegde looks good and does a good job when it comes dancing, other than she's bland. Kabir Bedi played the typical villian and does a fine job at that. The rest provide good support.
The production value is spot-on: The city layout of Mohenjo daro is breathtaking, it's very detailed. The costumes and props are all very fitting of the era. I particularly like how they use to tell time.
All in all, Mahenjo Daro has great entertaining value with its stylish production design and costumes but suffers from derivative and formulaic story and characters.
