Overall, Mohenjo Daro didn’t live up to the expectations the title had propagated. A lot more could have been done in terms of story and artwork, considering the immense scope the topic beholds.Hrithik Roshan can be seen desperately trying to save not only the people of Mohenjo Daro but also  the film’s engagement through his acting. Pooja Hegde’s charm did its trick in most of the scenes. The songs Tu Hai and Mohenjo Daro were well choreographed and could easily be said as some of the highlights of the movie. C.G. work in the climax deserves applause for taking the engagement factor up a tad.

The movie tries to explore the Indus Valley civilization through a plot comprising of the protagonist, Sarman (Hrithik), a farmer who travels to Mohenjo Daro, attracted by the city’s charm. But the people of Mohenjo Daro, he finds, are not living happily. And since he feels a distant connection to the city, he is not able to tolerate the injustice being done to the people. Kabir Bedi plays the role of an evil politician named Maham, who governs Mohenjo Daro. Along with his son Moonja (Arunoday Singh), he tries to seize power over the people and accumulate riches by putting all people in danger. Pooja plays the role of the city priest's daughter named Chaani, who is also ‘the chosen one’ to perform duties to the Goddess Sindhu Ma. Soon she also becomes the chosen one for Sarman, who falls in love with her. Why does Sarman feel a strange connection to the city? Will he win the hand of Chaani? And more importantly, does he bring justice to the people of the city is what the movie is all about.
