Omkara - The Bard Rocks....

Its official.....The Bard still rockssssssssss.....

I remember reading Othello as a play and a subject in school and my father always insisted that Shakespeare is cool.....and today, i agree with him without any doubt....

"Then must you speak
of one that loved not wisely
but too well;
Of one not easily jealous,
but being wrought
perplex'd in the extreme"

Let me introduce the characters to you....

Ajay Devgan : Othello
Kareena Kapoor : Desdemona
Saif : Iago
Konkona Sen Sharma: Emilia
Deepak Dobyiyal : Rodrigo

Probably one of the finest adaptations....Vishal Bharadwaj has livedup to the expectations after Maqbool.....

Ajay Devgan was expected to be intense as Omkara as he always is in most of his movies.....

3 characters caught my fancy.......Saif, Konkona & Deepak.......never expected saif to comeup with such a performance but surprise surprise!, he has set a benchmark so high for himself after this....

The most natural character portrayed in the movie was Konkana's.....she is a fine actress and i would rate her better than Saif in the movie......

Deepak Dobriyal's character as Iago's friend and as a suitor rejected by Kareena's character was simply fantastic......another brilliant performer in the making, i guess......

The movie is a must watch.......100 points to the director for his keen sense of adaptation.

P.S. Im totally hooked on to the song called "Namak"......one of the naughtiest songs ive ever heard......
