Mistakes galore: Hrithik Roshan's 'Mohenjo Daro' trailer faces a lot of flak from Twitter users!

Ashutosh Gowariker is known for his detailed portrayal in period flicks. Considered a maverick filmmaker, it seems Ashu has gone totally wrong with Mohenjo Daro. The trailer of the film was unveiled on the social network on Monday and the 3 minute 30 second trailer has sparked an outrage on the social media. 

The long trailer brought together a world that Ashu created for the film. Set in the era of the Harappan civilisation, Ashutosh tried to stick to the archaeological reports and elements as much as possible. But this time, he has made some grave mistakes. 

The second poster introducing Pooja Hegde met with a lot of criticism after an M.Phil student ripped it apart calling it commercial orientalism, just for populism. 

Now, the trailer has also met with similar reactions on the internet. Twitterati has lambasted the makers for its wrong and stereotypical portyal of the age and time. Here are some of the tweets:

Gowarkar's Mohenjodaro trailer succumbs to the worst stereotypes of exotic orientalism. This isn't creative licence. It is low brow populism

Shouldn't Ashutosh Gowarikar have realised that the actual citizens of Mohenjodaro couldn't have called it that- the mound of the dead?

Someone on the team knows that the original name of the Indus age settlement was most probably not Mohenjodaro, right?

I'm sure Kejriwal will really like Mohenjo Daro. There's plenty of drama, dialogues, theatrics, crocodile, tears and even a Bedi.

Mohenjo Daro looks like a mixture of Koi Mil Gaya, Krish, Gladiator, Ek Paheli Leela & Lagaan.

If the people in 2600 BC were made to watch Jodha Akbar & Lagaan back to back, they'd be done just in time for the release of Mohenjo Daro.

Ashutosh Gowarikar's Mohenjo Daro:

Harappan woman 1: "I'm wearing Manish Malhotra"
Harappan woman 2: "Neeta Lulla's spring 2016 collection"
