Finally could spare time to go and watch Omkara ...
Absolutely loved Vishal Bhardwaj's adaptation, the movie scores a 5 on 5 ( which is rare when I'm actually looking forward to a movie)...Good screenplay, great dialogues, brilliant performances, excellent music and ( very important for me) the crispest editing I've seen for ages...
The movie boasts an absolutely mind blowing portrayal of Iago by Saif Ali Khan (a.k.a Langda Tyagi)...Devgan was very good as Omkara but I thought he kept well within in himself, perhaps the script hangs together closely precisely because of his lack of overt rage portrayals...Kareena (IMHO) probably the only non-excellent link in the chain ( but pretty good nevertheless)...Great performances by Konkona Sen Sharma, Vive(I)K Oberoi, and the new guy who plays bunny to Saif's Iago/Tyagi...
[Spoiler warning: plot details follow]
Minor plot changes( alright not so minor): Tyagi (Iago) getting killed by wife, instead of vice versa
[/spoiler]
Recommendation: Get to your nearest theatre and watch it..I'm prolly gonna go see the movie again (time permitting)
