Omkara: Othello Retold

May 24, 2006 20:27

One of my most anticipated movies of the year is Omkara, an Indian (it's really not Bollywood at all) take on Othello. It has an excellent director (Vishal Bharadwaj who did Maqbool, a retelling of Macbeth set in Mumbai underworld) and a better cast, and promises to be grim and good, as it places the story among a 'gang' of political mafia in Uttar ( Read more... )

Wow, Saif is looking like quite the goonda in that teaser pic. I'm impressed!

Yup. He usually looks so urbane, too. I can't wait to see this.

Saif Ali Khan paying Iago!! Awesome! I have to see this one!

Can you believe that frakking Aamir Khan has been here in Spain in the Indian Film festival and I haven't seen him!! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaah! ... the worst part is that my friends N and C saw him, and had a picture taken with HIM, and talked to him... they say he is more gorgeous in person than in the movies. And I'm ded of envy! :/

Oooooooh. Yeah, that would be bad :(

But hey, we had a concert here in the beginning of May with Salman and Kareena and John and I completely didn't realize it until it was too late :( So hey, you are not alone :)

Waaaaah! Salman and John and Kareena!!! :(

... oh well, we'll always have Not Pictured to keep up the "squee" :D

I just love the projects Saif has been picking lately.
Friggin' tell me about it. I'd probably be all over his projects just because he's in them but it definitely does help that everything he's got lined up is just so damn promising - from bad guy in Omkara to more of romancing Vidya in Eklavya & that YRF film.

You have to see Being Cyrus, dude. I know you're working on it, but yeah, felt like mentioning it any way.

Ohhh and the Omkara poster is so menacing. Good stuff, this film will probably be.

Re: Being Cyrus. Its going to be in my next Nehaflix bundle. It's just for the moment it's the only Bolly movie from them I want so I don't want to buy just one...Though if nothing else is out there soon that I want to purchase, I might weaken, because I really do want to see it a LOT.

Exactly. It's like he suddenly got a radar for really great projects. If SRK doesnt hurry up, I am *this* close to having a new favorite Khan.

You should order it, and take advantage of the free shipping offer since you can, living in the States. Do you already own RDB on DVD?

Anyways, if you really want to throw in another DVD, check out the $6 offers. A lot of trash there, sure, but also some really good movies. Has to be at least one you might want and 6 dollars isn't that much so.. Consider it?

I may have to fic some of Being Cyrus, it was that delicious of a story.

dangermousie May 25 2006, 18:06:18 UTC

Yeah, already own RDB. How could I not? But yeah, $6 might not be bad. They have Amar Akbar Anthony which I love...Hmmmm.
