Just watched Omkara again. What an engaging film. I came away with Saif's acting/role, Gulzar's lyrics and Omkara's inferiority complex - strongest on my mind.
The backdrop of UP Brahmin politics seems so fitting - one almost forgets that the film is based on a famous Venetian tragedy.
The insidius way Iago ( Saif - Langda Tyaagi ) poisons Omkara's( Othello ) mind is chilling. The suave Saif, the ever cool and sophisticated, has outdone himself. He has played the role of Iago redrawn in UP hues fantastically.
I am eager to see the next file adaptation by Vishal Bharadwaj.
