Set to the tune of Shakespeare; Omkara is an adaptation of Othello encased in the nitty-gritty of indian village politics, thus filling the screen with the vibrant colorful feudal decor of rural India, and giving the tragedy a sense of lawlessness that's normally accustomed to a western cowboy feel.  In the film, Omkara (Ajay Devgan), an enforcer and general for a crooked politician is being ensnared in a weave of lives by his trusted lieutenant Langda,  (Saif Ali Khan) who feels betrayed after he is passed for a promotion despite his years of loyal service.  Playing-off Omkara's blinding anger, Langda insinuates that his boss's wife (Kareena Kapoor) is having an affair with the newly appointed general whom Langda despises. The actor's performance are memorable giving their characters life and the substance that's deftly required of the demands to live up to Shakespeare's genius.
