Haan bedi chalayi leh jigar se piya
Jigar maabadi aag hai

Na kasoor, Na fatoor bina juraam ke hajoor maar gaye

O jaa padosi, O jaa padosi, Jaa jaa padosi
O jaa padosi ke chule se aag lehi leh

The bard and this dud - Hindustan Times

Rating: 2 out of 5
Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara is a flawed but worthwhile attempt to transfer Othello to the modern setting of Uttar Pradesh in India, and to render the story in a Bollywood style. - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, UK

Rating: 3 out of 5
Omkara is a well-garnished, aesthetically appeasing platter of stylish Bollywood at its creative best. - The Times of India

Rating: 4 out of 5
The actors are terrific and the director cleverly taps the complex caste system, the dodgy regional politics and endemic sexism to define the grievances of the main players. - The Times, London

Rating: 3 out of 5
Saif and Shakespeare do no wrong - In the end, what you take away from Omkara is the knowledge that a classic script always has the power to move us, provided it is handled by a director who knows his craft, and actors who understand their job. Shakespeare would have smiled. - Rediff

Rating: 4 out of 5
OMKARA is a brilliant film from the making point of view and is also embellished with topnotch performances. - IndiaFM

Rating: 2.5 out of 5

“Omkara,” “Othello,” & the Dirty Business of Politics

07.31.2006 | Posted at 12:13 am by premii

Amardeep wrote an excellent review of recently released movie “Omkara”

It was nicely done - relatively crisp at two and a half hours (not bad for a faithful rendition of a Shakespeare tragedy), and unpretentiously shot in rural Uttar Pradesh. It was also well-acted by a group of talented actors - Ajay Devgan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Viveik Oberoi, Saif Ali Khan, and Naseeruddin Shah.

Omkara, like Othello, is not a comforting, uplifting story. Though this is easily one of the best Hindi films of the year in filmic terms, it’s unthinkable that it will be a popular favorite because it is thematically so dark.

And the language of Omkara is something else — there are some extraordinary, even brilliant arrangements of Hindi expletives in the film (leave the kids at home!).

Ajay Devgan is well cast as Omkara. He has the kind of glowering, brooding presence one expects of an Othello, though he isn’t visually marked as different.
