its a film, not a documentary. No film ever is completely historically accurate. Cinematic liberties are always taken to make a film out of the history.

Sunnyji, for historically accurate depiction of the Indus Valley civilization, read the book "Gem in the Lotus". Why do you expect a mass appeal Bollywood movie to be historically accurate?

 

What history is being broken and betnt by the Director here? If anything, he would glam up Mohenjadaro in his depiction.

How are you Yam?

For starters there is no city called Mohenjo daro.

Mohenjodaro means mound of the dead in Sindhi.A name localites gave to the mound where the lost IVC city was found.

I am :cool: . How are things at your end?

 

Fair point. There wasn't ever a city called Mohenjodaro. That wasn't the name given to the city by the people who lived there. But if historians haven't deciphered their script and hence haven't figured out the name of the place what does one use? Indus Valley Civilization is also not what they called themselves. Their culture predates the word Indus, which I think is of Greek origin. Why even use that name?

 

PS: What about Harappa, Lothal and the other sites? How have they been named?

Inspite of my strong interest in Indus valley civilization, this movie is extremely unappealing.  And I can even overlook the lame unimaginative Minoan/pseudo-Biblical look and feel.  You can make a crowd pleasing movie yet be original and imaginitive with your ideas.  This really doesn't look to be the case at all here.  

 

Visually, the Mirzya trailer is far more arresting.

Yes Mirzya by Rakesh O Mehra looks more interesting. It is debut of Harshwardhan Kapoor & it will be eagerly awaited as it will be debut of him
