Still, I would love to see you write fuller pieces of criticism, becuase most of them read like well-written synopses.<BR/><BR/>I have one point to make here. I agree that Saif Ali Khan's was the standout performance in Omkara, but it is not a very subtle adaptation of the Iago character. In fact, it is a bit straightforward. In her novel "The Curtain", Agatha Christie calls Iago the perfect murderer, he who never murders. He just pokes at the psychologically weak moments, instigating people to commit the unpardonable at the heat of the moment. Compare this analysis with what Bhardwaj did, and you will see it is not very subtle. But I agree, it works for the film.<BR/><BR/>I applaud your bravery, but dont agree with, your awarding perfect 5 to War-Kai's film, while giving 4.5 to Bicycle thief!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299224581054997270noreply@blogger.com
