Movie Info

In this adaptation of Shakespeare's "Othello" set in India, half-caste bandit Omkara Shukla (Ajay Devgan) abducts his lady love, Dolly Mishra (Vivek Oberoi), from her family. Thanks to his cleverness, he gets away with the kidnapping. A conspiracy, however, forms against him when he denies his right-hand man, Langda Tyagi (Kareena Kapoor), a promotion. Ultimately, this plot threatens not only his relationship with Dolly, but their lives and those of their associates as well.

Strongly cast, and with a powerhouse perf by Saif Ali Khan in the Iago role, pic puts Bhardwaj in the top ranks of serious Mumbai-based helmers.

An interesting take on Shakespeare's 'Othello'. Great cast! Interesting story plots.

I didn't like it a lot. Not my kind of movie.

It's kind of rare to see Bollywood(Indian film industry) making different movies like Omkara. It's Shakespeare's "Othello adoption but direction, dialogues and character building is really outstanding. I never expected such great performance by Saif Ali Khan.
