Vishal's storytelling is equally noteworthy.

In fact, it wouldn't be erroneous to state that every sequence in the film bears the stamp of a genius and most importantly, someone who knows how to adapt an English play into a 2-hour Hindi film. OMKARA shows that Vishal is a brilliant storyteller, who has a terrific command over technique too. Omkara's love for Dolly, Dolly's unquestioning love for Omi, Langda's warped loyalty and jealousy for Omi, Kesu's unswerving devotion to Omi - all lead up to a dark tragedy where Omi finally realizes what he has done?įrom MAKDEE to MAQBOOL to OMKARA, Vishal Bhardwaj's transition has been simply remarkable.
By the time he realizes what he has done and the backlash of his actions, it is too late. Using petty insinuations and lies, Langda keeps poisoning Omi's mind till one day it snaps and Omi goes about tearing up his own safe and secure world. With the unwitting aid of Indu, Langda's wife, and the willing help of Raju, a fellow grouch, Langda's plan takes shape and results in horrific tragedy. Langda's pride is slighted and raging with envy he hatches a plot to falsely implicate Omi's beautiful lover Dolly in a love affair with Omi's ?favorite lieutenant? Kesu. The story begins when Omi appoints Kesu and not Langda as his chief lieutenant. Omkara or Omi is a gifted chieftain who heads a gang of outlaws, which include the crafty Langda Tyagi and the dynamic Kesu amongst his chief cohorts. The bloodshed and violent slant is also not something that would hold universal acceptance. Agreed, it's the demand of the story, but those who aren't aware of Shakespeare's OTHELLO and the tragic end are bound to feel disturbed by the climax. and Bihar, not at other regions.Īlso, since the film follows an unconventional route, it tends to get dark and disturbing at times. dialect, the setting, the ambience, even the expletives would find tremendous identification from U.P. A film set in Mumbai, with generous doses of Mumbaiya lingo, appeals more in Mumbai/Maharashtra than in Gujarat, Punjab, Bihar or Rajasthan. The slow pacing, the lingo spoken by the characters and the U.P. The film deserves brownie points for the change of events in its second hour specifically!īut you cannot ignore the deficiencies as well? And a few sequences are master strokes from writing and execution point of view. Human traits like suspicion and jealousy can be identified the world over and that's what OMKARA highlights all through its 18 reels.īut one of the prime reasons why OMKARA stands out from most Bollywood films is that every performance in the film is worth its weight in gold. On surface, OMKARA is Shakespeare's OTHELLO, but the adaptation is very Indian. Vishal Bhardwaj is an accomplished storyteller. And the generous usage of expletives and dialogues could give you a cold sweat.Ĭlearly, OMKARA is not everybody's cup of tea, not everyone's idea of entertainment? Nor does it follow trends? OMKARA is a serious film, about real people, about real emotions.
It defies the set rules of commercial cinema. Although the original-source is Western, Vishal Bhardwaj and his team of writers have placed the plot in the Indian milieu? in the heartland of India, to be more specific.Īttempting a film like OMKARA requires courage. Hollywood has, in the past, attempted cinematic adaptation of Shakespeare's works, including several versions of OTHELLO. With a mammoth star cast and a gifted director at the helm of affairs, OMKARA is expected to prove a trailblazer, not only winning acclaim from those who appreciate realistic cinema, but also satisfying the needs of entertainment-seeking moviegoers. The much-hyped, keenly-anticipated OMKARA, an adaptation of Shakespeare's OTHELLO, hits the screens today.
