If you thought the trailers of Ashutosh Gowariker’s Mohenjo Daro was a bit kookoo, wait till you watch the first song, Tu Hai.
Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde sing and dance around the candlelit Great Bath in the Indus Valley Civilisation and try hard to make us fall in love with Sarman and Chaani. But unfortunately, all they manage to do is tickle our funny bone.
The picturisation depicts less of a ritual of some sort and more of a Halloween costume party.
Let The Quint tell you why Tu Hai is a laugh riot.
The Great Bath or a
Chlorinated Pool?
Did the people of the Indus Valley invent chlorine? Well, they sure did according to Gawariker’s Mohenjo Daro 2.0.
The song opens with the beautifully lit sparkling chlorinated pool, which would put all the 5-star hotels to shame and make us wonder how the pool, oops, Great Bath, remained so crystal blue even in that era!
Horn (Not) Ok Please!
Sarman sneaks into the ceremonial hall to meet Chaani. But to be with his ladylove, he needs to disguise himself. And what’s the best way to cover yourself than to paint your eyes red and wear a funny horn turban? ’Cuz horn turban is all you need to transform yourself. Silly Spiderman and Batman, who need bodysuits to disguise themselves. D**kheads!
Dance Shance
And once the lovers finally come face to face (what a task it must have been for Chaani to find her man among all the unique horns!) Bollywood makes the lovers do what they do best – eye matakana and synchronised dance.
What’s amazing is how the song shows Hrithik sneaking in only to match his steps with Chaani and Co. So well-choreographed are their moves that it’ll even put contestants from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa to shame. Wah!
‘Tu Kyu Hai’?
Either the Indus Valley people were high on some ‘shudh desi maal’ or were amazed by the ‘Greak God’ flex his muscles to do some mudra or simply blinded by the giant sparkling pool ’cuz nothing else would explain the creepy smiles on their faces.
WTF is all what we are left with!
