Country - India [2006]
Shakespeare's 'Othello' is loosened upon rural India. A backdrop of dirty politics, fragile loyalties and frail ties of blood. Mixed into the plot pot is a suspicious love and treacherous ambition. The rural dialect of northern India and witty dialogue goes a long way in making the film authentic. A tight script with a well tuned soundtrack keeps close minded critics of the Indian song and dance routine at bay. Saif Ali Khan as 'Langda Tyagi' makes for the most memorable negative role in years. Vishal Bhardwaj adapted 'Macbeth' for Indian audiences in 2004 as 'Maqbool', both films underline Vishal Bhardwaj's capacity to successfully portray story lines with greater depth.
