I used to think there’s just one Peter Jackson who defines reverence and understands tribute.
And then Vishal Bhardwaj comes along.
He really seems to know his Shakespeare. And more than that, he really knows his art.
The magnitude of Omkara’s impact is so potent. It's almost severe. It’s like having two-dozen machine guns fired at you. And you die willingly, gloriously.
To know a tragedy beforehand and yet jump out of your tense concentration when the moment of stark reality reveals itself.
To smell early traces of dishonesty in the vicarious schemes of limping, jilted villain's intentions and yet hoping for a glint of repentance only to be as shocked by the outcome as his target is.
To be certain what to expect and yet walk out with much more in the form of dark splintered pieces of complex human minds.
The aftermath of Omkara leaves you with a souvenir of unsuppressed awe for startling performances, simmering vision, breathtaking narrative, flowing composition and dramatic direction.
Omkara is a flawless depiction of flawed protagonists.
And for those who didn't like it and are contributing to its poor trade, I'd say: Oye kathor! (Darn you heartless person!)

rightly said….this movie deserves a OSCAR….story, screenplay, dialogues, performance, cinematography, direction everything flawless….. well done and well crafted movie……………
Excellent movie.
I completely agree with you, when we watch hollywood movies and the constant use of the f word is taken by sheer normalcy. This is kinda fine coz I haven”t heard anyone speaking shudh hindi as is. The film is bold, contemporary and entertaining as well.
Hats off to Mr. Bharadwaj and the characters.. Omi / Langda / Dolly / Keshu /
let’’s be realistic and thruyhfull kareena kapoor needs a nationally award for this film
Omakara, Adamant is u can say about it…..a trully hard hitting performance delivered by actors. an awesome desi extract of Shakespeare classic, it was worth goin to cinema hall after a break of 14 months for me.
I totally agree with the person who wrote the article about ” The aftermath of omkaara”…
What a flawless movie…..heads of to Mr. Vishal Bhardwaj…looking fwd. for more sensible movies/cinemas..
i give 10/10..and i feel sad for those people who did”nt get the essence of the movie..
Omkara sukked like hell… The new Indian generation fell for this Desi Galis (wow! kinda bold and realistic).. what do u think is it like that such dances are organised in villeges?? And what you people know about villeges. I get sick when i get to see such comments by people. Anyway its a movie and aims entertainment, alright. I just want to let you remind thats not the truth, thats not the only thing, that wasn”t the greatest movie or even great.
Keep enjoying sukking movies.
Good Luck
Really it was a GR8 movie…….
