You should definitely watch this movie. It’s a masterpiece. So well written, directed and acted. Won a bunch of awards. Should have won Best Picture in my opinion.
Vishal Bhardwaj is a really interesting director who is somewhere on the cusp of art house and commercial. He tends to go for a more naturalistic sort of vibe (although he can still be very cinematic and spectacular in so doing), which is what you observed there. These days naturalistic vibes are actually fairly common in commercial Indian films I find (at least more so than in Hollywood I think), but back in 2006 Omkara really stood out. The first film in the Shakespearean trilogy (Maqbool) was actually an indie - it had no dance numbers. Even when Vishal Bhardwaj does go for the dance numbers he usually doesn't put in that many - there'll be one or two set piece songs where he goes all out, but otherwise he'll maybe add in some song montages to move along the plot and that'll be it. In interviews he's said (and I have no idea if he's serious or just kidding!) that he became a director because nobody wanted to hire him as a composer and this way he could compose for his own films! I don't remember Omkara very well now, but I think the character that starts dancing with the woman is actually her boyfriend. And right after the song finishes a fight breaks out I think, so what you noticed there was probably the beginnings of the brawl. The dialogue bit that's cut into the middle of the song is a bit of a set up for some later conflict I think. The jewellery she's wearing on her waist that he's admiring on her is a family heirloom that then goes missing and gets found where it should never have been... It was a bit of a breakthrough role for Saif Ali Khan - one of the guys that you found kind of ominous and dangerous looking. He plays the equivalent of Iago in this. Until Omkara Saif Ali Khan was basically a romcom Hugh Grant-style romantic hero. For him to play a dark villain and to shave his head etc was a very big turn around and he got a lot of critical acclaim for this. I don't think you mentioned this on the video, so not sure if you know or not - the racial issues from Othello are switched for caste issues in Omkara. Also, AFAIK the dialogue in Omkara is written in a local dialect, which at that time was very unusual. For most of the actors in it, this was the first time they actually had to put on an accent/dialect different than their own. It also contained quite a lot of profanities, which was unusual and I think rather pushed the boundaries of what the Indian censorship board was willing to accept at the time. My favourite of the Shakespearan trilogy is the third one - Haider (Hamlet). The set piece song from Haider is Bismil, which is essentially the mouse trap scene from Hamlet. Definitely recommend you see that one as it's one of the most spectacular dance scenes Vishal Bhardwaj ever made, but make sure you have the lyrics/subtitles because the song really doesn't make that much sense without them. Another very spectacular song from a Vishal Bhardwaj film is "Bloody Hell" from "Rangoon". Mentioning this as it might particularly amuse you - it's a period film set during WW2 when the British were still governing India. And the song is a gentle take off of the British (hence the title "Bloody Hell" - Vishal Bhardwaj likes playful profanities, so it was only a matter of time before he finally named a song with one!). Nice that you finally watched Chaiyya Chaiyya! Dil Se (the film) generally has some great dance sequences. All of them are really different from each other and really worth seeing - Satrangi Re, Jiya Jale, Dil Se Re. As is the film as a whole! Btw, Dil Se was in fact the first Bollywood film ever to have made top10 at the UK box office. Btw, Dil Se and Haider are currently both on UK netflix, so easily available for you to see if you want. Don't know if you have amazon prime, but I think Maqbool is on UK prime.
Sung by the iconic Sunidhi Chauhan. She's a modern day great( after lata, Asha) and a revolutionary singer in Bollywood. Never really cared much for the video. Maybe check out kaisi paheli zindagani song with rekha and Sunidhi.
Omkara is an amazing film. Kareena stunnef everyone with her acting in this one. Check out the other song O Saathi Re Oh and for the love of God please watch Randeep Hooda's : Rangrasiya
This song is all about the singing. I don't care for the video at all. I love how the female singer, Sunidhi Chauhan, just BELTS it out. Really phenomenal. The video is uninteresting to me, and just a random party song to bring in viewers.
Matthew. Do a live broadcast tonight talking about Indian actress Sridevi. She is a beautiful and talented actress with a very large audience. Unfortunately, she passed away two years ago😍😍😍😍😍😍
The brawl you see brewing at the end of the song occurs because the cigarette-smoking guy (Rajju/Roderigo) is acting out the lyrics of the song as a way of propositioning the performer, knowing full well that the guy up on the stage with her is her love interest (Kesu/Cassio). Really, though, this is a setup orchestrated by Langra/Iago (crew cut guy) to humiliate Cassio, and cause Omkara/Othello to doubt Kesu as his choice of successor. Caste politics is an undercurrent here, also: Kesu is upper caste and educated, but would be seen to be betraying his caste in forming a relationship with such a woman. Kesu's humiliation is Omkara's humiliation, because he himself is half-Brahmin/ half-lower caste, but is trying to maintain a veneer of respectability to further his political career. What's great is that Bhardwaj hails from the state in which this film is set, so it's a pretty good, and gritty, reflection of the sights, the sounds, the social and political context in which he was brought up. The actors did a decent job of the local dialect and accent, and this is a big deal for a country whose film industry is dominated by Hindi, Punjabi, English and, to a lesser extent, Telugu (remember that there are 22 regional languages that are officially recognised). What Bhardwaj has done is employed a real economy of language, in part to allow for audience's lack of familiarity, and cinematography to help convey meaning, and the film is all the better for it. For example, Omkara choosing Kesu over Langra is acted out, rather than a matter of discussion as in the play, so we get the full impact of Langra's jaw dropping, we feel his inner turmoil. Favourite lines from the movie: "Your and my destiny has been written with an ass's dick" "You really are the strong man... Even your urine powers all the lights around the country!“
"They're all utterly dirty aren't they? " Ha ha... The characters in this song (in fact the entire movie) are all scumbags and criminals, not normal people. It's supposed to be sleazy.
This film is a real different type of take on Othello,this director takes a very different approach to Shakespeare and includes some political commentary in a lot of them,he’s a brilliant composer and composes a lot of his own films. Some of the key differences between Othello and Omkara as you mentioned in the song as well is that the language used in Omkara is way more abrasive and rough as well as the depiction of women in Omkara being way more assertive (such as bipasha in the video) and also more vulgar given where they grew up. On the whole this adaptation is a lot darker in my opinion and gives a real uncomfortable vibe for most of the film especially for westerners,there’s another song from this movie with Bipasha that is also filled with euphonisms,again displaying the difference in women in both plays,it’s called “Namak” and its a brilliant song.
There are some films on Hollywood like clockwork orange which makes audience uncomfortable regardless of where you are But like your take Bipasha basu grew up in area where vulgarity is common so yeah she was meant to make audience make uncomfortable
