This is a movie which has magical music, cinematography and over all -- strongest story line. Credit goes not only to Shakepeare's Othello, but also to Vishal Bhardwaj who has done an excellent job of adoption -- very powerful. The thread of the movie is Saif Ali Khan, who has given a power house performance -- a word I use only for Densel Washington.
Music and songs are great -- Naina, Omkara and Saathi are par excellence. The music supporting the mood of Langda or Omi actually takes you to the depth of their minds.
The movie flows like a hot knife on a slice of butter, smooth without any jerks. The way story moves ahead and shapes Lagda's character is worth watching. How a dedicated man now filled with vengeance plans a flawless tragedy. The end will make you think, even cry, that much faith I have in the story of Shakespeare and narration of Bhardwaj.
Performance wise Saif is the best, rest played there parts, Ajay Devgan is so monotonous, Kareene looked graceful through the movie -- best after Chameli. Nasir did a chore, Vivek was average. and Konkana did justice to her part. But once again standing ovation to Langda Tyagi: Saif.
Don't worry about the language, its only in the .00009 percent of the movie. You hear worse on Indian roads. So, just go out and watch Omkara.
You must go and watch this movie if you want to strengthen your belief that good cinema is still made in India.
