What Omkara Is About

The most important thing the summaries leave out is that this is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello. Omkara heads a gang working between politics and crime in Uttar Pradesh, and by giving his deputy's post to Kesu rather than Langda he creates his own Iago. Langda then feeds suspicion about Omkara's wife Dolly patiently, drop by drop. In place of the handkerchief there is an embroidered waistband. This is the second of Vishal Bhardwaj's Shakespeare films; Maqbool was Macbeth and Haider would be Hamlet. Saif Ali Khan's Langda is the most discussed performance of his career.
