Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Mohenjo Daro’ released last Friday which clashed with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Rustom’, but the film isn’t doing too well at the box office.

Reports in Mid-day suggest the film has only��collected Rs 18.37 crore after two days while Kumar’s ‘Rustom’ fetched a staggering Rs 30.54 crore. Actors dread the debate that follows after a flop, which is a reassessment of their stand in the industry.

Trade pundit Vishek Chauhan spoke to the publication about the brand value of Roshan, saying it has taken a beating from ‘Mohenjo Daro’ under performing.�ʉ��Hrithik is a huge star with a massive fan following. But, he hasn�۪t delivered a good film in years barring Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), which had an ensemble cast and the credit was unanimously shared by the actors and director Zoya Akhtar. As far as his recent releases go, Bang Bang clashed with Shahid Kapoor�۪s Haider, made for the niche audience, while Krrish 3 didn�۪t have any competition at the ticket counters.�۝

On the contrary, box office pundit Girish Wankhede says that this flop will pass and not affect Roshan’s brand.�ʉ��A film is a director’s vision and actors merely play their parts. In this case, Mohenjo Daro has failed, but Hrithik hasn�۪t. So, his fan following will remain intact. He believes in experimenting with different genres and this one didn�۪t pay off. But, there�۪s always scope for a talent to bounce back.�۝

What do you think? Is Roshan losing his touch?
