ओमकारा (2006)

I was blown away by Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider, an incredible adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet starring Shahid Kapoor. Omkara is part of his Shakespeare trilogy (Maqbool, Omkara, Haider). Omkara works extremely well as a modern adaption of Othello in rural Uttar Pradesh India. This is a stellar cast, and some of the best performances I've ever seen of some of these actors. I have been sitting on this DVD for Netflix for some time. I knew it was going to be excellent from everything I'd read, but it is such a depressing story!
