Was talking to a few friends about the movie Omkara. I have seen the movie on VCD and appreciated the acting skills of Saif etc etc… I think they have all really acted very well. Its because of the acting only that such a comedy of errors becomes a dark movie.
It’s surprising how Omkara (as in the movie) gets cheated and kills his wife just on the basis of someone telling him a story. It actually quite “frustrating”, rather than “saddening”, to see Omkara making a complete fool of himself.
I remember the joke where the guard receives a call from a man who is convinced that his wife is cheating on him. He tells the guard to go and kill the wife and the man she is with. The guard kills both and asks for further orders. The man praises the guard and tells him to throw the bodies in the swimming pool in the backyard. Now, the guard gets confused and asks, “What swimming pool, we don’t have a swimming pool”. The man says, “Oh! Sorry wrong number”. :-)
That’s exactly the scenario with Omkara and probably Othello also (haven’t read Othello, and do not plan to read also). Yeh to wohi hisab ho gaya ki, “Khaya piya kuch nahi, gilas toda bara aana”.
Anyways, but still the acting is good. Again I would say it’s eminently watchable. So, go, watch and enjoy.
