I just watched omkara yesterday, because I could not get tickets on previous saturday,sunday & monday. (So much for box office lull) anyways the first dialogue by saif prepared me for what was about to come.
But everyone does not have the same taste, some people moved out inbetween and one of my friend wanted to sleep as he was bored. But for me and rest of my friends it was a great movie.
Just a few weeks before my friends were watching O (aka hollywood othello) and they were quite impressed by the story, at that point we did not knew that it was based on othello. As omkara was coming near i decided to search for othello and what it is all about. I got a summary but it was long i went to the last para to read about the scarf,etc and I immediately realised it resembled to O, on reading about othello in the rediff columns I got to know O was based on othello and it was amazing how Vishal bhardwaj has managed to adapt it on indian screens. Whenever indians try to copy they always flatter but I can say for this one that it was perfect.
Some films do not create Box office magic but are great, like Lakshya and even Maqbool.
