at the end of the day, is too marvellous a movie to be summarized by a mere blog. this is how i'd like to start my post on this movie. i would hence share a few among many noteworthy features of the film which caught my imagination/attention.
As far as i am concerned, any director should feel successful in his endeavour of making a film, if he is able to transport his audience from their world to that in his/her film. With Omkara, my world for the whole 3 odd hours was the village and its people. It requires tremendous care for detail and originality to get an audience' mind to do that. Major credit here goes to the performance of the cast and the camera work
That a layman like me noticed the camera work and mulled over why a particular angle was chosen over another indicates some exceptional camerawork in Omkara. Some of the shots were refreshingly new.
Saif Ali Khan provides with yet another great performance and come to think of it, no one could have done it better than him. Ajay Devgan is his brilliant self as a serious, no nonsense man and Konkona sen adds meat to the cast in her supporting role.
Omkara will be a film remembered for its technical brilliance and for the power performance from a well selected cast

yet to see the movie...
ReplyDeleteIf the movie is meant to be just an adaptation of the popular work - Othello, It is okay.
ReplyDeleteI would give him top marks for his characterisation, choice of actors for the main roles, but the moment he tends to add his own touch of individuality in the movie - ala Konkana Sen Sharma killing of Langda - which never happens in the originial - he falters. If he wanted to leave his own mark on the movie, why not show some more creativity....why not explore a what if.
Anyways i would say movie is a watch for Langda and the rest of the movie could be *skipped*
