"Bekoof aur chootiya me dhage bhar ka phark haiga bhaiya. Dhage ke ek taraf bekoof aur dooji taraf chootiya. Je dhaga aich lo, te phir kon bekoof aur kon chootiya, karor rupaiyaka prasan hai ga bhaiya."
These are the opening lines of a movie that has magical music, good cinematography and over all --strongest story line. Credit goes not only to Shakepeares Othello, but also to Vishal Bhardwaj who has done an excellent job of adoption -- very powerful.
The common thread of the movie is Saif Ali Khan, who has given a power house performance -- a word I use only for Denzel Washington.
Music and songs are great -- Naina, Omkara and Saathi are parexcellence. The music supporting the mood of Langda or Omi actually takes you to the depths of their minds.
The movie cuts your thought process like a hot knife on a slice of butter, smooth without any jerks. The way story moves ahead and shapes Lagdas character is worth watching. How a dedicated man now filled with vengence plans a flawless tragedy. The end will make you think, even cry, that much faith I have in the story of Shakespeare and the narration of Bhardwaj.
