India's take on Othello proves to be less than what Shakespeare would have wanted
This film has its good spots and its bad spots... It is short sweet and tart, but the film lacks the depth of the original play and lackluster performances by Bipasha Basu and Vivek Oberoi ruin the fun...
The Good: The ending is great. A beautiful portrayal of the demise of characters and a true tragedy in a small scale. Omkara is Vishaal Bharadwaj's best. Ajay Devgan is effective and so are Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Konkona Sen Sharma. A little bit of precision goes a long way in this film, and the shots and editing are impressive for a film of such low budget.
The Bad: Bipasha Basu's performance is atrocious. Vivek Oberoi is very annoying and the only scenes in which both work is in the song "Beedi Jalaile" and we all know that that song was the only reason why Bipasha was even in this goddamn movie!
Bottom Line: Omkara is a good dark film, with its flaws but hey, no one is perfect right? Watch it... love it or hate it, Omkara will lead the way for more Shakespearean adaptations to come.
