Caste in Omkara
by A on Aug 04, 2006 12:20 PM

It's a very well-written article on a wonderfully well-made film. I was wondering though, that the caste aspect which is so prominently present in western UP should have been given more importance. Since the good vs evil in the Bard's original has been shown to be a race-sex complex, and not mere "passion" or "envy" sprouting from their 'roots' in the human soul. Had the race in Othello been translated adequately into caste-politics in Omkara, the film would have reached still greater heights of excellence.
