Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Criminal Omkara interrupts the wedding of his love, Dolly, to the man she was arranged to marry, and Dolly runs away with him. As their own wedding date draws near, Omkara begins to suspect Dolly is having an affair with his lieutenant Keshav. Based on William Shakespeare's "Othello.", Omkara, Vishal Bhardwaj's adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello, tells of intense love, power, corruption and jealousy, leading to a tragic climax. Bhardwaj renames Desdemona, Othello, Cassio and Iago, transposing the drama to political Uttar Pradesh in India. Saif Ali Khan is terrific, dynamic and sinister as Langda Tyagi, proving that, given a meaty role, he is a versatile, intense and accomplished actor. Winning countless awards for the film, he said of the challenge that the part demanded: "I needed a completely new look; shaving my head, yellowing my teeth. Everything that comes naturally to me was wrong for the role; the way I sit, the way I speak." In Hindi with English subtitles. Premiere.
